Publisher’s black cloth, front cover lettered and ruled in yellow and green and with coloured block of Trinity Church in the Manhattan skyline, rear cover with publisher's device stamped to centre, spine lettered in gilt, illustrated with frontispiece portrait of Clews; protected with tissue guard.

A touch of very minor rubbing to the cloth, the text “LL.D.” discretely stamped to title page after the author’s name, contents excellent; a near fine example. Messrs. Pettigrew, Bright & Co. were a fellow Wall Street Investment Firm. On May 1, 1918, the company changed its name to Elmer H. Bright & Co. (May 5, 1918. The New York Times. Stock Exchange News.) This work is divided into four main parts, each with several chapters. Part I covers “Wall Street Itself”; Part II covers “Wall Street And The Government”; Part III covers “Wall Street And Social Problems”; Part IV covers “Wall Street And International Affairs”. Examples of some of the subjects covered include: Trusts and corporations; Business education; The art of making and saving money; Panics and their indications; Washington dominance in finance; Speculation and business; The Cleveland Administration; The Harrison Administration; Significance of the Wilson tariff law. Henry Clews (1834-1923) was born in Staffordshire, England, and later emigrated to the United States of America, first opening an investment firm on Wall Street in 1858. He became a highly successful private banker and broker. For a time, he published a weekly pamphlet "which for years was widely known as the authoritative interpretation and forecast of market conditions" (Ingham, p.172). Clews was also a noteworthy figure in American politics, acting as an economic advisor to President Ulysses S. Grant, and was a friend of Abraham Lincoln. (Ingham, John H. "Clews, Henry." Biographical Dictionary of American Business Leaders, Volume 1. Greenwood Publishing Group, 1983.) PLEASE CONTACT US FOR SHIPPING COSTS IF ORDERING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK.…
