THE ROTHSCHILDS
The Rothschild Family is about to celebrate the centenary of the banking-house to which it owes its fortune. The firm was established at Frankfort in 1771 by Meyer-Anselm. Being left an orphan, lie obtaiued employment in a bank at Hanover, and by his industry and economy succeeded in amassing a little capital, with which he founded his own establishment. In 1801 he was appointed agent for the Elector of Hesse, whose fortune he saved at the risk of his own, when the French army entered that State. For that service the Emperor of Austria gave titles of nobility to all the members of the family, with the motto, to which they have always remained faithful, “ Concordia, Industria, Integritaß.” The founder of the dynasty left ten children, of whom the youngest was the late Baron James, of Paris.
