Incorporation in New England: A Statistical Study, 1800–1875

Abstract: Defense of a historical survey of the business corporation in this country seems hardly necessary. Students of its place in the present economy, even students of the well-recorded “trust” movement of the 1890's and later decades, need this background, if only to test the hypothesis, not infrequently encountered, that the business corporation of pre-Civil War days was largely confined to the fields of banking, insurance, and public utilities.
