Excerpt from Essays in the Earlier History of American Corporations: Numbers I III This group of studies is presented as a modest contribution to the economic and social history of the United States before 1800, especially for the last decade or two of the eighteenth century. All of the four essays treat primarily of the corporation and its legal, social, and economic place in the community. They vary widely, however, in scope. The first sketches lightly the corporations of all sorts colonizing, governing, ecclesiastical, educational, charitable, trading, etc. As they appeared in the British colonies that later became the United States. The third treats intensively of a single manufacturing corporation and chie y of its earlier years, 1791 - 96. The fourth summarizes the outstanding facts regarding the three hundred and odd busi ness corporations chartered in the eighteenth century and partie ularly after i7s3. The second which is printed in this collee tion only after considerable hesitation deals with the career of a big business man who had much to do with several cor potations and near-corporations, and whose activities reveal certain Significant aspects of the milieu in which the business corporation developed.

On November 25, the evening of the daylm whlcSTfne"state subscription was assured, a preliminary meeting of subscribers was held at the City Tavern, Philadelphia,1 perchance partly for jubilation and partly to prepare a slate for the coming election. On the following Sunday evening the subscribers began "to muster strong" in Trenton; and with them had come to town the Secretary of the Treasury, to put his son Philip under the tutelage of Rev. William Frazer.2 On Monday, under the superintendence of the attorneygeneral of the state and a justice of its supreme court, thirteen directors were duly elected,3 and on December 9 the board met at New Brunswick, elected governor and deputy-governor, and formally got down to business.3 It is well to pause here to observe more intimately the Society and its chosen leaders, for the complexion of both was of no mean consequence in the critical year immediately ahead.
