Excerpt from Memoir of Nathaniel Thayer, A. MOf the risks, mischances, and catastrophes attendant upon the operations just referred to, there is no occasion or place for mention here.

Of the schemes which have been devised in fraud or folly, or those which, by individual or combined greed, have used the community and the rights of all as puppets, and of those which, on occas1ons, in their exposure and general ruin have shaken confidence in all business enterprise, we have had a woful instance, sufficient as a warning for all time, ln the trick played upon so many victims, but notably upon the victorious leader of our patriot armies and the chief magistrate of our country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
