Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

An Early Attempt to Reform Bankruptcy Law in Massachusetts [Bankruptcy]. [Massachusetts]. Report of the Special Committee to Whom was Referred the Bill for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, And for the More Equal Distribution of Their Effects. At head of title: House No. 31. Boston: Dutton and Wentworth, State Printers, 1834. 38 pp. Octavo (9-3/4" x 6"; 24.6 x 15.2 cm). Stab-stitched pamphlet in self wrappers, edges untrimmed. Light toning, light soiling and faint dampstaining to exterior, light edgewear to last few leaves, upper right corner of text block creased. A very good copy in its original state. $250. * Only edition. Early America struggled deeply to reckon with the complex legal and economic issues surrounding bankruptcy, insolvency, and the humanitarian crisis of debtors' prisons. Following the brief lifespans of the Federal Bankruptcy Acts of 1800 and 1819, the young nation was left with a chaotic patchwork of state laws that frequently failed to protect either the honest, failed merchant or the out-of-state creditor. This 1834 legislative report marks a pivotal moment in that struggle. Chaired by Salem attorney David Roberts, the special committee passionately argues for the passage of a pending insolvency bill, providing an incisive critique of the contemporary legal landscape. The committee insists on an end to the common, highly manipulative practice of failing debtors secretly favoring a select few "preferred" creditors while leaving others entirely empty-handed. Aligning with growing nationwide humanitarian pushes-and following the federal ban enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1833-the report frames the jailing of honest but unfortunate debtors as an archaic, counterproductive cruelty. Crucially, this pamphlet contains both the complete legislative committee report and the full, unredacted text of the proposed bill. It offers exceptional insight into the socio-economic debates of the Jacksonian Era and serves as a direct legislative ancestor to the landmark Massachusetts Insolvency Act of 1838, which later became a blueprint for federal bankruptcy law. * Early America saw a number of attempts to reckon with the complex issue of bankruptcy and the treatment of debtors, including several unsuccessful federal bills and a motley patchwork of state laws that attempted to address the problem. This report. …
