Excerpt from Wall Street in History The papers which form this volume were written by request for the May, June and July numbers of the Magazine of American History of the current year. The purpose in their production was to give the busy reading public a concise, authoritative, and informing account of the rise and development of Wall Street. No similar sketch having ever appeared in print - touching in historic continuity the salient features of the famous locality, from its first brush-fence to its present gold vaults - the whole field of inquiry must necessarily be explored for the material, which was finally gathered from an almost infinite variety of fragmentary and original sources. The wealth thus exhumed, in the way of fact and incident, would have filled many volumes. But for the general convenience, and in order to meet the popular demand for much in a small compass, the labor of condensation has been cheerfully performed, that the many-sided subject, in all its primitive, picturesque, political, social, and monetary aspects, may be presented in one brief, comprehensive and rapid survey. The first chapter Covers the century of settlement and savage warfare - inclusive of the period when New York for nearly fifty years was actually a walled city. The second chapter is devoted to the vicissitudes of Wall Street in the exciting times of the Revolution, and to its history as the seat of fashion, aristocracy, and the State Government, and also as the seat of the National Government for six eventful years, with President Washington a familiar figure, in his chariot drawn by six horses. The third chapter treats of the financial institutions which have made the street famous throughout the civilized world.

Excerpt from Twenty-Eight Years in Wall Street The following pages are intended to throw some light on imperfectly known events connected with Wall Street speculation and investments, and also with the condition and progress of the country from a financial standpoint, during the twenty-eight years which I have experienced in the great money centre. The theme is worthy of an abler pen, but in the absence of other contributors to this branch of our National history, I venture the plain narrative of an active participator in the financial events of the times in which I have lived.

Excerpt from Wall Street by the Back Door It is the exact truth to state that there are two Wall streets-both located in New York City: first, the widely known thorough fare of that name, extending east and west from Broadway to the East River, with the imposing ancient landmark, Trinity Church.

Excerpt from Fortuna: A Story of Wall Street The growing importance of women in the business world has also led me to introduce that topic in my story, and I have no doubt that the majority of the female sex would be quite as capable of managing their business affairs as Miss Montague (the heroine of this book) did hers, if they would only go about it in the same manner. That Canada will, at some future time, be annexed to the United States, seems quite certain. Already the political battles in the Dominion are beginning to be fought on the lines of annexation. Believing that it would be for the good of both countries to have them under one head, my charac ters have been led to discuss the subject in a roundabout way, which I trust the reader will not find the least inter esting of the various themes presented. In writing a run ning story I am aware that subjects like this and the N ica ragua Canal are not ordinarily introduced, owing to a feel ing perhaps that they do not interest all classes of readers alike. In order to meet that objection, I have written the chapters relating to them in as light a vein as possible, and I am inclined to think that they will prove not only inter esting, but instructive as well.

Excerpt from The Art of Wall Street Investing Lthough the popular impression is probably the reverse, it is certainly a fact that a greater sum of money is annually lost in this country through unwise investment in Wall Street, than through pure speculation. While fortunes are daily jeopardized and dissi pated through speculation in stocks, bonds, grain-futures and like ventures, yet the many sums, large and small, which annually leave the pockets of actual investors are far greater in amount. Indeed, I would almost say that the losses incurred through unwise Wall Street investing are easily tenfold the losses occasioned through mere speculation on the exchanges.

Excerpt from Wall Street Stories Ah, good morning, Mrs. Hunt, he said, very politely. I am very glad indeed to see you. And how do you do? He shook hands, and led her, a bit ceremoniously, to a huge armchair. His manners endeared him even to the big Wall Street operators, who were chiefly interested in the terse speech of the ticker. Of course, you are very well, Mrs. Hunt. Don't tell me you are not. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
