Book Description
Excerpt from N. W. Ayer and Son's American Newspaper Annual, 1880: Containing a Catalogue of American Newspapers, a Carefully Prepared List of All Newspapers and Periodicals Published in the United States, Territories and Dominion of Canada Owing to the magnitude of the work to be done, the information was solicited and to a great extent obtained during March and April, but the work of revision has gone on steadily ever since. The entire country has been canvassed in the interim, hundreds of personal letters written, and every endeavor made to bring the information down to the latest moment and the result of this untiring labor is that the book represents the condition of the Newspaper Press of the country as it stands to - day; and a careful examination of its contents will verify the assertion. It is not perfect: no work of the kind can be; but we have spared neither labor nor expense to make it more nearly so than any other Newspaper Directory published. As the work contains some features not to be found in any similar publication, a few words of explanation may not be out of place.

Book Description
Despite recent corporate scandals, the United States is among the world’s least corrupt nations. But in the nineteenth century, the degree of fraud and corruption in America approached that of today’s most corrupt developing nations, as municipal governments and robber barons alike found new ways to steal from taxpayers and swindle investors. In Corruption and Reform, contributors explore this shadowy period of United States history in search of better methods to fight corruption worldwide today. Contributors to this volume address the measurement and consequences of fraud and corruption and the forces that ultimately led to their decline within the United States. They show that various approaches to reducing corruption have met with success, such as deregulation, particularly “free banking,” in the 1830s. In the 1930s, corruption was kept in check when new federal bureaucracies replaced local administrations in doling out relief. Another deterrent to corruption was the independent press, which kept a watchful eye over government and business. These and other facets of American history analyzed in this volume make it indispensable as background for anyone interested in corruption today.
