|
|
The database contains records
for nearly 10,000 corporations chartered by special act in the U.S.,
France, and the Germanies between 1825
and 1865/70 and under general incorporation
laws in Britain from 1844 to 1865. Also included are tables of:
a) German breweries in existence in 1901/02; b) British railroads in
existence in 1900; and c) individual shareholders (presently French
shareholders only [in selected years between 1825-1867], about whom
copious amounts of information were included in the published charters of
French corporations).
