DEFENCE OF FRANCIS W. EDMONDS, LATE CASHIER OF THE MECHANICS' BANK, AGAINST THE CHARGES PREFERRED AGAINST HIM BY ITS PRESIDENT AND ASSISTANT CASHIER.
New York: McSpedon & Baker, Printers, 1855. Original printed wrappers. Disbound. 55, [1 blank] pp. Good+ or better.
Edmonds says he has been unfairly discharged-- indeed, "driven"-- from the Bank by its President and Assistant Cashier, "with imputations upon my integrity." They claimed Edmunds had "caused large defalcations" and used "bank funds for his own personal advantage." These false charges were "mere vague rumors," based on "bad feeling, mental delusion or self-interest." His detailed rebuttal sets the record straight, accusing the President of wanting a mere "MacSycophant" for an aide.
