A Treatise on the Law of Stock-Brokers and Stock-Exchanges

New York: Harper and Brothers, 1882.

Price: $2,500.00

Hardcover. First edition. Full morocco gilt, all edges gilt, possibly a presentation binding or issue. Corners well-rubbed, still a nice and presentable, very good copy. Inscribed by the author: "To Francis N. Bangs, Esq. with sincere regards of John R. Dos Passos. May 22 '82" and with the neat ownership signature of Bangs. Dos Passos was a powerful industrialist and lawyer, and the father of author John Dos Passos, who was conceived out of wedlock in 1896 (he later married his baby-momma in 1910). Bangs was a very prominent attorney specializing in business matters, a founding member of the New York City Bar Association, and its president from 1882 to 1883. His son was the author and satirist John Kendrick Bangs. An interesting association.
