PREFACE<br />
Mayer Amschel <strong>Rothschild</strong>, the founder of the <strong>Rothschild</strong><br />
fortune, at the time of his death in 1812, created a trust of his<br />
estate, by will, for the elevation of the Jewish race and the establishment<br />
of a Jewish World Empire. The cardinal principles of<br />
the trust were secrecy, that the estate should be kept intact as a<br />
unit, that the heirs and their heirs should have only a communal<br />
interest in it, and that the estate as a whole should be governed<br />
by the eldest son of the eldest son unless a majority of the heirs<br />
determined otherwise.<br />
The estate has been preserved and managed since his death<br />
as a unit in pursuance of the provisions of his will. There are<br />
now several hundred heirs, for the family is a prolific one, but<br />
the estate is communal and still under the management of one<br />
head. So far as known, the provisions of the wills of the members<br />
of the family still contain in substance the directions of<br />
the founder of the fortune.<br />
History affords but meager information regarding the rulers<br />
of this fortune and the extent of it, because of their secretive<br />
methods. No inventory has ever been filed and no division has<br />
ever been sought by any heir.<br />

in praise of the virtues of the different members of the <strong>Rothschild</strong><br />
family, they are rather meager in facts. The facts herein<br />
related have been gleaned from many sources and are based on<br />
information believed to be reliable.<br />
We do not know the extent of the founder's fortune at the<br />
time of his death in 1812, nor do we know the present magnitude<br />
of it, but apparently it represents about one-half of the wealth<br />
of the world.<br />
This huge fortune has been devoted with great shrewdness<br />
and energy to the purpose of exploiting the Gentiles in all the<br />
countries of the globe. The methods employed are the manipulation<br />
of currencies, speculations on the exchanges, and wars.<br />
The <strong>Rothschild</strong>s by these operations profit enormously because<br />
they have the power by virtue of their immense wealth and po-
