The Original Mr. Jacobs: A Startling Expose (1888) is a book written by Telemachus Thomas Timayenis. The book is a detailed and shocking account of the life and career of a man known as Mr. Jacobs, who was a prominent figure in the financial world in the late 19th century. Timayenis reveals that Mr. Jacobs was not only a wealthy and powerful businessman, but also a criminal mastermind involved in a wide range of illegal activities, including fraud, embezzlement, and bribery. The author draws on a variety of sources, including court records, newspaper articles, and personal interviews, to paint a vivid and disturbing picture of Mr. Jacobs and his criminal empire. The book is a fascinating and eye-opening look at the darker side of American capitalism in the late 19th century, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of finance and business.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
