Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a meticulously curated collection of 28 medals, shedding light on the grand financial scheme orchestrated by John Law in the early 18th century. The Mississippi System, as it came to be known, aimed to extinguish France's massive national debt through the establishment of a central bank and the exploration of the vast Louisiana Territory. The medals featured in the book provide a unique glimpse into the rise and fall of this captivating scheme. From the initial establishment of the Bank in 1716 to its collapse just four years later, these pieces of art capture the fluctuating fortunes and public sentiment surrounding Law's ambitious endeavor. The book delves into the broader historical context of the Mississippi System, examining the economic and social conditions that made France ripe for such a bold financial experiment.
