Schiff was a partner in Kuhn, Loeb and Company, later becoming the head of the firm. He was known for his role with E. H. Harriman against J. P. Morgan and Company and J. J. Hill in the struggle for control of the Northern Pacific Railroad, which later led to the stock market panic of May 9, 1901. His philanthropies included establishing a Semitic Museum at Harvard University, a chair for the study of German culture at Cornell, as well as various hospitals and schools of higher education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
