Excerpt from The Life and Times of Stephen Girard, Vol. 1: Mariner and Merchant Stephen girard by will bequeathed to the Common wealth of Pennsylvania and to the City of Phila delphia cash and real estate amounting in 1831 to over Never before had a private citizen of the United States bequeathed so vast a sum for the public good. By careful management the invested capital of the various trust funds created by his will now amounts to over Despite the great benefit the City has received from the income of these trust funds, and the community from the education of orphan boys in the College, no biography of Stephen Girard has hitherto been written, although he has been 86 years in his grave.

In 1776 the U.S. owed huge sums to foreign creditors and its own citizens but, lacking the power to tax, had no means to repay them.
