...beauty- wherever a likely purchaser appeared, and rose through a succession of what one might euphemistically term "protectors," through the advancing agencies of drunken sailors, a seacaptain, a social parasite, a wealthy French merchant, a U. S. Vice President. That in the two latter cases, Stephen Jumel and Aaron Burr, she actually achieved matrimony, is eloquent testimony to her skill and resource. To be sure, it was during Burr's eclipse, when that precious knave was a doddering old gallant of 78, and his eyes were fixed as much on Betty's fortune as on her face...

State Assembly had allowed only one bank to be created-the Bank of New York, sponsored by Alexander Hamilton. Burr wished to create a rival bank, but owing to political conditions he knew he could not get a charter directly.
