Cham. Mes respectueux hommages à madame Dumas. Je porte mon ruban en rosette ça fait très bien."" ""February 11 1875 My dear friend It's atrocious! Here I am decorated! Until the end of my days! and it's your fault! By the greatest chance I learned that you had written a four-page letter to the minister. All concerning me and calling for the ribbon upon me! Without saying anything to anyone! and without denouncing yourself once the deed was done and successful.

181924603New-York: Printed by C.S. Van Winkle 1819. 39 1 blank pp. Disbound wrapper remnants in inner margins of first and last page. Light soil Good. <br /> <br /> This pamphlet advocates in response to the Panic of 1819 "two restrictions on banks: first they may discount no 'accommodation paper' i.e. simple loans that were not self-liquidating in the course of active trade; and second that they grant no renewals of loans." The absence of such restrictions the author argues encouraged excessive speculations and brought about the depression. See Rothbard 'The Panic of 1819' page 132 1962. As evidence Aristides cites the "wild enthusiasm" which characterized resumption of commerce after the 1815 Treaty of Ghent and the resulting extensions of credit "to the utmost limit." <br /> Authorship has been variously attributed to Webster and Van Ness. Skeel doubts Webster's hand. "Among other reasons she states that the Letter does not seem to be written in his style and that she finds no allusion to it in his letters. The pamphlet has also been ascribed to William P. Van Ness another who used the pseudonym 'Aristides.'" <br /> Sabin. <br /> AI 49978 4. Sabin 102364. See Skeel page 563 note 12. Printed by C.S.
