Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the 1839 investigation into the State Bank of Illinois, undertaken to ascertain whether the bank had forfeited its charter and to examine charges of mismanagement and malpractice. The author provides a historical context for the investigation, noting that the bank had suspended specie payments twice since its inception. The author then summarizes the main topics of the inquiry, which include: the bank's dealings with particular individuals and firms; its transactions with the house of Denman of Philadelphia; its alleged speculation in lead, lands, and other commodities; and its relationship with the Acting Fund Commissioner. The outcome of the investigation is revealed, along with the committee's recommendations for preventing similar abuses in the future. The book concludes by discussing the significance of the investigation's findings for understanding the dangers of mismanagement in banking institutions.
