Item description from seller

A Rare San Francisco Legal Imprint on Early Jewish Pioneer History and Nativist Prejudice Stanly, Edward. Park, T[renor] W[illiam]. Naglee, Henry M[orris]. Cohen, Alfred A[ndrew]. Arguments of the Hon. Edward Stanly, of Counsel for the Receiver, and T.W. Park, Esq., of Counsel for Alvin Adams, with the Charge of the Court, at the Trial of Alfred A. Cohen on a Charge of Embezzlement, in the Case of Adams & Co., By H.M. Naglee, Receiver, Versus Alfred A. Cohen. San Francisco: Whitton, Towne & Co., 1856. 88 pp. Octavo (9" x 5-1/2; 22.8 x 14 cm). Stab-stitched pamphlet in original printed wrappers. Binding cocked, vertical crease through center of pamphlet, light browning to covers, occasional light foxing, light toning to a few leaves. A well-preserved copy of a scarce item. $750. * A scarce mid-nineteenth-century California legal imprint documenting the high-stakes embezzlement trial of Alfred A. Cohen following the collapse of the express and banking firm Adams & Company. Cohen was a prominent early Jewish pioneer who arrived in California in 1850 and helped establish San Francisco's burgeoning Jewish mercantile and civic community. His arrest occurred during a period of intense nativism and economic depression, an era when Jewish financiers in the West frequently faced disproportionate public scrutiny, xenophobic scapegoating, and legal prejudice. This text records the sharp courtroom arguments of Edward Stanly and Trenor W. Park, which resulted in a massive $269,000 judgment against Cohen. Historically, this case had a profound impact on early California jurisprudence, serving as a landmark precedent that shaped the state's nascent receiver laws, corporate governance protocols, and the legal framework governing systemic financial panics in the West. Crucially, Cohen studied law while imprisoned on these controversial charges, overturned the verdict, and went on to become one of California's most successful attorneys and railroad tycoons. This volume serves as an essential piece of Western Americana, illustrating both Gold Rush financial instability and the challenges faced by minority pioneers in early San Francisco. OCLC locates only one copy in a U.S. law school at Harvard.…
