Condición: Very Good. Hard back binding in publisher's original twine stitched embossed dark green cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt front. 8vo. 8'' x 5¼''. Born in Bordeaux, Girard immigrated to the United States where he established himself in the American banking industry. During the War of 1812, he single-handedly saved the federal government of the United States from bankruptcy by personally financing the American war effort. Eventually accumulating a large estate which included a slave plantation in Louisiana, a 2007 article in Fortune Magazine estimated that he was the fourth-richest American in history.
