Act Relative to Incorporations for Manufacturing Purposes of 1811
[edit]- ... that before New York passed a law giving a procedure for incorporating manufacturing firms, new corporations could only form with permission from the legislature? Sources: many; here is a quick one online
- ALT1:... that after the Embargo Act of 1807 throttled foreign imports, the state of New York passed a law to expedite the incorporation of new domestic manufacturers ? Source: Seavoy 1972 is the good source for this; it's on JSTOR

- Comment: Although I find this topic frightfully interesting I can't tell how appealing these hooks would be to a casual reader—and would (as always) welcome suggestions for better ones.

- The article was nominated less than seven days after its creation. It is long enough and neutral, and uses inline citations. Good faith is assumed because I do not have access to JSTOR. There do not appear to be any copyright violations. The hooks are cited. The QPQ is done. The lead section mentions that the law was for firms capitalized at $100,000 or less, but that doesn't seem to be verified in the body of the article. Can you add that to the article's body?

- Gulumeemee, in Groupuscule's absence, I've added the $100,000 fact to the body of the article and sourced it (while it's on JSTOR, it's in the page they show for free). I hope that addresses your concerns. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:28, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you. The article is good to go. Gulumeemee (talk) 02:42, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
