Excerpt from An American Emperor: The Story of the Fourth Empire of France Jerome K. Vansittart was the richest man in the world. He owned vast territories; he controlled railways and fleets; cities paid him tribute, and myriads of workers toiled, that his wealth might magnify unceasingly. In a word, he was a State rather than an individual. Computations of the amount of his fortune differed by hundreds of millions, and the public estimate of his riches was based more upon cubical measurements than the common standard of dollars and cents. Thus, when the Sunday edition of the New York Clarion sought to enlighten its readers as to the financial calibre of their most remarkable fellow-citizen, it summed him up as follows: - "If Vansittart wished to build his Fifth Avenue residence of solid gold, he could do so, and then pave with silver the avenue and West 57th Street in front of his house." The Universe, which was nominally opposed to him, stuck to the illustration. "Vansittart is going to lay out 58th Street in copper," it said. "He has just added a cent per ton to freight rates on the New York Central." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
