Beschreibung

21.5 x 13 cm. Two copies of this rare pamphlet. Hamilton's proposal for a national bank. This controversial proposed financial measure was accepted only after much debate on its constitutionality and in spite of stiff opposition by Jefferson and others. The Bank was run capably throughout its 20 year charter and was instrumental in managing the critical issue of public debt. Despite Secretary Gallatin's strong support, the charter was not renewed, with serious consequences for the country. Evans 22998. American Imprints 24307.
