...records thus obtained make the Library of the Graduate School of Business Administration unusually rich in the original sources of the history of New England security prices. But not content with accumulating the recording the current history of his time, Mr. Martin delved backward into sources which were then open to him, and recorded in several published volumes the financial history of Boston for a period of one hundred years prior to 1898.

Although originally Alsace and the lower Rhine were given to Germany and Lorraine was alloted to France, neither country has been content.
