By the terms of this document, shareholders had to be US citizens, directors were barred from borrowing funds from the corporation, and no more than $10,000 of annual income could be generated from any one real estate investment held by the company. A fascinating view of corporate governance in a major financial institution of the early 19th century. Chipping over spine; sewing going with signature loose in wrappers; Title page has three-digit stamped number with pencilled notation in upper margin. Rear wrapper has a four-digit number at top left. Nevertheless, this is a remarkably good copy of a very scarce publication.
