Contains two large foldout tables at the rear. Housed in a board backed plastic sleeve. Text is in French. A rough translation of the title is "Notice on the Current Financial Position of the States of North America Accompanied by some details on the Debts of the Principal European States." The United States was in financial distress in the 1830s and 1840s. The Panic of 1837 led to a tightening of credit especially from the Bank of England. 19 of the 26 U.S. states had issued State Bonds for finance internal improvements roads railroads canals and a number of these were in default. The U.S. enacted the Bankruptcy Act of 1841 to allow debtors to file for their own bankruptcy without creditors initiating it although this was repealed in 1843. Much of the U.S. debt at that time was held by European banks. Alexandre Lombard 1810-1887 was a Swiss banker. This is a rare analysis of the financial health of the United States during a time of crisis by one of its creditors.
