Corporations In The Days Of The Colony

""Corporations in the Days of the Colony"" is a historical book written by Andrew McFarland Davis. It explores the development and role of corporations in the early days of the American colonies, from the late 16th century to the mid-18th century. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the legal, economic, and social aspects of the emergence of corporations during this period, and how they contributed to the growth and development of the American economy. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a detailed history of the establishment and evolution of corporations in the American colonies, including the various types of corporations that were formed, the legal framework that governed them, and the challenges they faced in their early years. The second part of the book examines the impact of corporations on the American economy and society, including their role in trade, agriculture, and manufacturing, as well as their influence on politics and culture.Throughout the book, Davis draws on a wide range of primary sources, including legal documents, corporate records, and contemporary accounts, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the complex and dynamic world of colonial corporations. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of American business, law, and society, and provides a valuable perspective on the origins of modern corporate capitalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
