Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ... long, laborious life. In the course of my endeavors 1 have written and printed more than a million of documents, which I have sent to Congress, to the President and members of the Cabinet, and to all parts of our common country. ' The burden of my theme has been to show, that the Constitution has made it the imperative duty of Congress to take and hold the entire control of all, that should ever be allowed or used as the money of the nation. If the plan, set forth in a petition to Congress, to the President and his Cabinet on the 14th of December, 1862, in which I showed, that my ideas of finance were based on the opinions of such men as Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Calhoun, Webster, etc., whose words and warnings I quoted--as I do in this document--had been adopted, the Government would have all the means it wanted in Treasury notes, and we should not have an enormous bonded debt in 1882." A MONUMENT TO PETER COOPER. The glory of the nation consists chiefly in tlie virtues and achievements of its founders, whether it be a monarchy, an empire, or a republic. It becomes the duty of all writers and teachers of the young, to inculcate the excellence of their examples, and to preserve a lively memory of their noble deeds. Where this duty is neglected, a great wrong is done to the dead, the living, and the future. For this purpose all histories should be written, and all monuments erected. To secure this result all nations have held anniversaries, commemorating with joy the days of their birth, and executed great works of art in oil, marble, and bronze, erected temples and columns, and, above all, institutions of science and learning, and, to those worthy of it, gorgeous mausoleums adorn churches and burial-places. No nation in the whole...

Excerpt from Life and Character of Peter Cooper Many a time during my somewhat prolonged author ship, have I been called on to portray the lives of the great and good with whose acquaintance and friendship I had been honored. But never have I responded to such a request with so much alacrity and cheerfulness, as when I was asked to pay some literary Tribute to my beloved friend, the late peter cooper. I knew him well for more than a quarter of a century, and my veneration and love for him grew with every year. And now, when some of the illusions of life have faded for me, and all of them for him, and I survey him robed in his fadeless garments beyond the tomb, I can not withhold from him the unbidden homage: Hail! Thou purest and noblest of men! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

American business has always had deep roots in community. For over a century, the country looked to philanthropic industrialists to finance hospitals, parks, libraries, civic programs, community welfare and disaster aid. Worker-centered capitalists saw the workplace as an extension of the community and poured millions into schools, job training and adult education. Often criticized as welfare capitalism, this system was unique in the world. Lesser known capitalists like Peter Cooper and George Westinghouse led the movement in the mid– to late 1800s. Westinghouse, in particular, focused on good wages and benefits. Robber barons like George Pullman and Andrew Carnegie would later succeed in corrupting the higher benefits of worker-centered capitalism. This is the story of those accomplished Americans who sought to balance the accumulation of wealth with communal responsibility.

As editor Kenneth E. Hendrickson, III, notes in his introduction: “Since the end of the nineteenth-century, industrialization has become a global phenomenon. After the relative completion of the advanced industrial economies of the West after 1945, patterns of rapid economic change invaded societies beyond western Europe, North America, the Commonwealth, and Japan.” In The Encyclopedia of the Industrial Revolution in World History contributors survey the Industrial Revolution as a world historical phenomenon rather than through the traditional lens of a development largely restricted to Western society. The Encyclopedia of the Industrial Revolution in World History is a three-volume work of over 1,000 entries on the rise and spread of the Industrial Revolution across the world. Entries comprise accessible but scholarly explorations of topics from the “aerospace industry” to “zaibatsu.” Contributor articles not only address topics of technology and technical innovation but emphasize the individual human and social experience of industrialization. Entries include generous selections of biographical figures and human communities, with articles on entrepreneurs, working men and women, families, and organizations. They also cover legal developments, disasters, and the environmental impact of the Industrial Revolution. Each entry also includes cross-references and a brief list of suggested readings to alert readers to more detailed information. The Encyclopedia of the Industrial Revolution in World History includes over 300 illustrations, as well as artfully selected, extended quotations from key primary sources, from Thomas Malthus’ “Essay on the Principal of Population” to Arthur Young’s look at Birmingham, England in 1791. This work is the perfect reference work for anyone conducting research in the areas of technology, business, economics, and history on a world historical scale.

Excerpt from Peter Cooper During the last decade of Peter Cooper's life, the writer of this biographical sketch enjoyed some degree of intimacy with him, as professional adviser and traveling com panion, and also, incidentally, as consulting engineer of the firm of Cooper and Hewitt, and manager of a department in the Cooper Union. This circumstance, together with the preference kindly expressed by Mr. Cooper's family, doubtless influenced the se lection Of the writer for the honorable task of preparing this book, a task which was welcome as a labor of love, though the exe cution of it has been hindered and impaired by the demands of other duties. The real difficulty has been to compress within the prescribed limits a story covering so many years and so many topics, yet not possessing those features Of dramatic action or adven ture which could be treated briefly, with picturesque cfiect. Mr. Cooper's family has kindly furnished abundant material for this work, including, besides his own published utterances, the notes Of the stenographer to whom Mr. Cooper, in the last years of his life, dictated his reminiscences. The use which has been made of these will be evident to the reader. Beyond an occasional revelation of the character Of the speaker, or a side-light thrown upon the manners and conditions of our early national life, they have not fur nished valuable data and the study of them suggests an Observation which may be heeded with advantage in similar cases here after, though it comes too late to be useful in this instance, namely, that the recollections of Old people with [retentive memories, like Peter Cooper, may be invaluable, if they are intelligently aroused and guided; but if the speakers (as in his case) are left to their own initiative, they are too likely to furnish superfluous accounts of events already de scribed more accurately in authentic contem poraneous records.

Confidence man and canny operative, charlatan and manipulator--William A. A. Carsey emerged from the shadow of Tammany Hall to build a career undermining working-class political organizations on behalf of the Democratic Party. Mark A. Lause’s biography of Carsey takes readers inside the bare-knuckle era of Gilded Age politics. An astroturfing trailblazer and master of dirty tricks, Carsey fit perfectly into a Democratic Party that based much of its post-Civil War revival on shattering third parties and gathering up the pieces. Lause provides an in-depth look at Carsey’s tactics and successes against the backdrop of enormous changes in political life. As Carsey used a carefully crafted public persona to burrow into unsuspecting organizations, the forces he represented worked to create a political system that turned voters into disengaged civic consumers and cemented America’s ever-fractious two-party system.
