Asher & Adams’ Pictorial Album of American Industry, (New York, NY: Asher & Adams, 1876; Reprint, New York, NY: Rutledge Books, 1976). We call this a “vanity biography” because it was of a genre of publication greatly popular between the Civil War and the turn of the century, wherein people, places and business were written about by itinerant writers who published their work and then sold it back to those they had written about. These publications are typically laudatory in the extreme. We have read a great many, and never yet found a man (or woman) called anything but virtuous.

A “joint stock company” is not necessarily the same in all states. That being said, it is generally something between a corporation and a partnership. Like a corporation, it typically has articles of association, directors and officers, and a common capital divided into shares [stock] which represent the interests of the members [stockholders] and are transferable without the consent of the other members [stockholders] so that the death of one member [stockholder] does not dissolve the company. But unlike a corporation, where the liability of a stockholder is limited to the amount of his stock interest, and like a partnership, each member [stockholder] is individually liable for the debts of the company. (This definition is based on Blacks Law Dictionary, 4th edition, (St. Paul, MN: West Publishing Co., 1951), p. 352.)
