Redlich in "The Molding of American Banking" 1868 volume 1 page 308. "Isaac Bronson was a highly successful financier of the Jacksonian era who was also one of the period's most original and influential banking theorists. Bronson accumulated his very considerable fortune in New York primarily by judicious personal money-lending operations on long-term bonds and mortgages at a cautious 7 per cent annual return supplemented by successful ventures in land speculation. In addition to wealth he had by the 1830's acquired a weighty reputation for sober financial conservatism and was regarded as an authoritative exponent of sound banking principles. Prominent in the financial community he had long thrown his weight as a sound banking theorist against the "wild-cat" practices of the then rampant state banks." --Venit A. 1945.

Quarto 292 pages; VG-; newly rebound in quarter blue leather blue cloth covered boards paneled spine with burgundy label and gilt titling; page edges brittle pages age-toned; upper fore corner of first 96 pages clipped; text in Yiddish; scarce; shelved case 4. Isaac Aboab was an early 14th century Spanish Talmudic scholar and Kabbalist. "The Menorah of Light" is a collection of midrashic sermons. Per the Jewish Encyclopedia: "It has won considerable fame for the author though in his humility he assures his readers that he composed it chiefly for his own use as a public speaker. But besides this it has contributed probably more than any other medieval book to the popularization of rabbinical lore and to the religious edification and elevation of the masses. It belongs to that class of ethical works which sprang up in the thirteenth century in a time of reaction against the one-sided manner in which the Talmudic studies had been previously pursued.'. It was published with a Spanish translation Leghorn 1657 with a Hebrew commentary and a Judæo-German translation by Moses Frankfurter Amsterdam 1701 with a modern German translation by Fürstenthal and Behrend Krotoschin 1844-46. It was translated also into Yiddish Wilna 1880.";. 1331695. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Defus Sh. Y. Fin, A. Ts. Rosenḳrants, M.M. Shrifá¹zeá¹tser hardcover books

184437021Washington 1844. Seventeen lines of text plus salutation and closing written entirely in ink manuscript to "My dear Sir." Signed "Most faithfully yours I.C. Bates." Printed on recto of a single leaf. Matted on the verso of the inner front margin. Uniformly toned Very Good.<br/><br/> Bates 1779-1841 was a Massachusetts Whig elected to the U.S. Senate in 1841. He served as such until his death. John Tyler had been William Henry Harrison's running mate on the Whigs' winning 1840 presidential ticket. Upon Harrison's death Tyler became President-- the first to become so in this manner. <br/> Though nominally a Whig Tyler-- a Virginia Strict Constructionist who would end his career in the Confederate Congress-- broke with Whig positions on Tariffs Internal Improvements and a National Bank. These rebuffs naturally generated much dismay among Whigs who had hoped to celebrate their first presidential victory. Tyler's estrangement from the political party that made him President is reflected in this Letter:<br/> "When I recd your favor I was so much engaged in other matters I neglected an answer for which please pardon. Nothing would delight me more than to see Mr. Otis Jun on the bench of the Supreme Court & I certainly wish Mr. T. all good things; but I do not suppose there is any chance for either of them. I have no influence with the Prest. & ask of him no favors. He has put it out of the power of us Whigs to give him any support. The names of those gentlemen will be brought to his notice. What he intends to do we wait and see. He has got some state right notions in his head which he wishes to install upon the Bench. unknown books
