Descrição do livro
Congressional Serial Setis a multi-part government report and accompanying testimony detailing a nineteenth-century inquiry into the Emma Silver-Mining Company, its London-based promoters, and the involvement of U.S. minister Robert C. Schenck. The material covers Washington, D.C., and London proceedings from 1871–1876, with deposition material from New York court proceedings. It traces how a diplomatic official’s name and position were used to promote a private mining venture abroad, and it documents a complex web of private loans, stock transactions, and speculative financing involving Park, Baxter, Grant, Lyon, and other financiers. Through executive summaries, dispatches, and deposition transcripts, the work examines governance, ethics, and accountability at the intersection of public duty and private finance. The inquiry also notes related Machado claims and the broader questions of international law and propriety for officials engaging in private business. It emphasizes the balance between oversight and transparency in late 19th-century government finance.
