This review is from: George Peabody: A Biography (Paperback)

International merchant and financier, the first modern philanthropist, and the first American to be named an honorary citizen of the City of London, George Peabody had a reputation for impeccable integrity and honesty. In addition to an account of Peabody's accomplishments, this biography offers a picture of Peabody the man--his broken engagement, his famous Fourth of July banquets in London, his distress about the Civil War--as well as the aura of the Victorian society in which he lived. A new chapter on Peabody's legacy, an updated bibliography, and an expanded index culminate this revised edition.
