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.

1884139081884. With an Introduction by Al. G. Spalding of the Chicago Base Ball Club. New York: E. P. Dutton and Company 1884. 1 page undated ads for Spalding baseball goods. Original red cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled. First Edition of "the first novel devoted exclusively to baseball" Grobani 12-2c. The first book about baseball was 1859's THE BASE BALL PLAYER'S POCKET COMPANION nonfiction -- there are only about ten known copies the most recently-exchanged of which was priced at $39500. There was an 1877 volume in the "No Name Series" THE GREAT MATCH which could also lay claim to "first baseball fiction" but which is not entirely about baseball. About these two books Strecker et al. have written Both THE GREAT MATCH and OUR BASE BALL CLUB highlight tensions between the country and the city. More importantly they reveal the baseball team's central place in local communities and feature insight into nineteenth century baseball debates about participation versus competition and amateurism versus professionalism. This is a hefty large-format quarto volume with ten handsome illustrations. OUR BASE BALL CLUB was issued in two different bindings -- paper-covered boards with a front cover lithograph or full pictorially-decorated cloth either grey or blue or as here bright red. This is a bright very good-plus copy with a small damp-mark on the rear cover and very minor shelf-wear at the spine ends. unknown books
