Very Good binding. Octavo. 77, [3] pp. First edition. In contemporary, plain wrappers. Wrappers are chipped; contents are generally foxed; small and early institutional stamp in the bottom margin of one page deep in the pamphlet; minor crease throughout the pamphlet from a vertical fold; dog-eared pages. Quite a presentable copy of a scarce publication on the Baltimore Bank Riots of 1835, which grew out of the failure of the Bank of Maryland. There was a belief that its impending bankruptcy was anticipated by its officers, leading to civil unrest. The issues at trial were whether Baltimore officials had reacted appropriately and adequately when unrest began and rioting actually broke out. This pamphlet gives numerous depositions as to events in the city during this extended period of civil violence. American Imprints identifies another issue of this with slight differences to the title page that was issued the same year. Despite there being two issues, it remains remarkably rare in commerce. Henkels offered it in 1915; beyond this, there are no other auctions or offerings noted by the usual sources. OCLC locates barely a dozen copies of both issues together. American Imprints 38812.
