Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into the world of nineteenth -century commerce in London, exposing a colossal scheme of fraud perpetrated by a group of individuals, led by Joseph Windle Cole. By meticulously examining the actions of Cole, Davidson, and Gordon, the author unravels a tangled… web of deceit, exposing how a sophisticated system of forged dock warrants allowed them to pilfer goods and defraud unsuspecting investors. The book delves into the intricate details of how Cole and his associates manipulated the system of dock warrants, using false documents to secure loans from reputable firms like Laing and Campbell. The author also shines a light on the role of Charles Maltby, Cole's former associate, who served as a pawn in the elaborate scheme. More than just a gripping account of criminal enterprise, this book reveals a complex network of complicity and corruption within London's commercial circles. It highlights the dangers of blind trust, exposes the fragility of commercial credit, and underscores the urgent need for transparency and accountability within the mercantile world. Ultimately, it provides a compelling glimpse into a dark underbelly of Victorian capitalism, revealing how even in the heart of England's economic might, greed and deception could thrive. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Condition: Fair. - Octavo, 8-1/2 inches high by 5-5/8 inches wide. Three-quarter brown calf and cloth titled and ruled in gilt on the spine with a gilt-lettered leather title label mounted on the front cover. The covers are rubbed and stained with wear to the leather corners. The head and tail of the spine are chipped and the ca…lf has split along a portion of the front joint. [xiv] & 263 pages, with a frontispiece illustration portraying the "Grand Plan of Hagen's Wharf". The front hinge is cracked and the front endpaper is lacking. The pages are slightly toned with occasional stains. Several page corners are creased. Pencil marks in the margins of several pages serving to highlight paragraphs were possibly made by the author himself or his business partner. Fourth edition.An important association copy from the library of Laing & Campbell, inscribed in ink "Laing & Campbell / Mincing Lane / July 1856" on the front blank, with the firm's blind-stamp reading "Laing & Campbell / 39 Mincing Lane, London" stamped on the rear endpaper, the front blank, and at the top of the frontispiece as well as in the margins of a few other pages.Although the preface to this fourth edition is dated August 7, 1856, the inscription would imply that Laing and Campbell received a pre-publication copy in July of that year.Laing & Campbell were in possession of financial warrants which had been given to them by Cole as tangible securities valued at 18,000 pounds. As it turned out, many of these warrants were spurious and worthless. Cole, together with Davidson & Gordon, had so substantially falsified the value of his company that, when the business went bankrupt, many of the warrants issued to secure the value of the business were seen to be fraudulent and those that were legitimate covered but a minute fraction of the firm's debt. Laing and Campbell were colonial brokers who were in possession of several of these warrants for spelter & Swedish steel which Cole, Davidson, & Gordon had offered as securities.In a book review published in the June 7, 1856 issue of the Economist, the writer states: "The Great City Frauds of Cole, Davidson, and Gordon have been very fully and ably exposed by Seton Laing. in a book just published by him. In order to make the designs of Mr Cole and his coadjusters clear, a plan is given of the small wharf occupied by him, called Hagen's wharf, interposed between two bonded warehouses, which Mr Cole seems to have designedly acquired for his long-concocted frauds." The reviewer for the Standard expresses a much different opinion in his article published on June 12, 1856: ".had the object of the writer been one to expose fraudulent practices, he would have carried us entirely with him; but, inasmuch as he allowed himself to be actuated by strong and vindictive feelings, we have no hesitation in stating that he has completely failed in producing the effect which he is so anxious to make the public believe he had in view when he commenced the task which he has now brought to a conclusion.".
