"The Panic of 1819 is a book that no historian of the early
republic can afford to miss." --Missouri Historical Review "Andrew
H. Browning's book [The Panic of 1819] holds up a distant mirror,
and allows us to see what happened to our politics in the aftermath
of 1819." --Paul Conlin, MAAA, FSA, Senior Actuarial Director at
Aetna
"Andrew Browning has given us a masterful study of an often
overlooked economic crisis and has rightfully subtitled his work
'The First Great Depression.'"--Clyde Haulman, EH.net "Utilizing an
extensive array of contemporary sources, Andrew H. Browning
masterfully recreates the events and chronology of the new nation's
first great depression, the Panic of 1819."--The Journal of
Economic History
"An impressive amount of historical content and knowledge of the
policy positions of the key movers and shakers of the antebellum
era went into The Panic of 1819, a quality for which Browning
should be commended. He successfully ties together a complex set of
domestic and international factors to explain this exciting
material with smooth prose and skilled narration. To add, the
author has an eye for arresting passages and humorous anecdotes.
This book is sure to elicit lively discussions of the political and
economic history of the early republic."-- Stephen Campbell, The
Economic Historian
"This new book does a remarkable job in analyzing the complexities
of trade, finance, politics, and business that led to [the Panic's]
devastating impact." --Book Bit for WTBF-AM/FM in Troy, Alaska
"The title of Mr. Browning's fine and formidable history only hints
at its scope. "The Panic of 1819" is, in fact, a political, social
and financial history of the U.S., before, during and after
America's first great depression."--Wall Street Journal
"This is an excellent book on a neglected episode of American
economic and financial history--the Panic of 1819--and also on
American political and social history in general during, roughly,
the first three decades of the nineteenth century."--Richard Sylla,
New York University, author of The American Capital Market,
1846-1914: A Study of the Effects of Public Policy on Economic
Management
"Andrew Browning has written a lively and thoroughly-researched
account of economic conditions in the decades surrounding the Panic
of 1819. As the first comprehensive, book-length consideration of
the panic in over fifty years, it is rich and absolutely first
rate."--William J. Hausman, Chancellor Professor of Economics,
College of William & Mary, author of Global Electrification:
Multinational Enterprise and International Finance in the History
of Light and Power, 1878-2007
"A serious work on a vital topic."--Daniel S. Dupre, University of
North Carolina at Charlotte, author of Alabama's Frontiers and the
Rise of the Old South
