London: Hambledon and London. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2004. First Edition. Hardcover with dust jacket. 1852854014 . Fine blue cloth no inscriptions or marks. Near fine unclipped dust jacket. Already a wealthy businessman and Lord Mayor of York before the advent of the railways, Hudson seized the opportunity they presented with both hands. He became an MP, lived in style and entertained lavishly. While his early lines were profitable, later ones were not. Ever more deeply committed, at a time when accounting standards were lax, he hid inconvenient figures until brought down by a question at a shareholders' meeting in 1849. Disgraced, he fled to the Continent, his name synonymous with fraudulent capitalism at its most brazen. ; Black & white illustrations; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; xii + 317 pages .
