LYNN: Yes that John Lawof the Mississippi Bubble fame was a fast one. I read a book about him. No Law I know has enough Guts to pull off some of the scheams he did. The book " Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay. Vol#1 from LONDON , Richard Benyley, New Burlington Street Publisher in Ordinary to HER MAJESTY 1841. It is a very interesting book to read, but I dont believe it. Republished by HARMONY BOOKS/NEW YORK 1980 a division of Crown Publishers, Inc. I checked it as much as I could for relationship and the dates just didnt add up to any thing I had in my data at that time. Maybe some new data has been found that would connect us or YOU. What does someone else think.???? [email protected]
