A Bill To Establish A Uniform System Of Bankruptcy Throughout The United States

Pamphlet, disbound and removed 81 pp. Some foxing and a few bends here and there, and last page is split a little at the hinge. Still, in good shape overall. This Bill was presented to the 19th Congress, second session [H.R. 332] on January 2, 1827. Bankruptcy was a big deal in this period, and was an issue Congress had to invest a good deal of time to settle. In fact, a similar Bill was proposed more than twenty-five years earlier, and it appears that this Bill may have had to be introduced because of the failure of the previous legislation.
