snaps Gutle. "I assure you," he told Lionel's wife Charlotte (whom he had identified as an ally), "the family is everything: it is the only source of the happiness which with God's help we possess, it is our attachment [to one another], it is our unity.". But, unlike his father, Salomon decided that only one of his grandsons would ultimately inherit his share of the family business from Anselm—a new development in a family which had hitherto treated all male heirs more or less equally. In 1849 Carl's third son Wilhelm Carl married his cousin Anselm's second daughter Hannah Mathilde; a year later, his brother Adolph married her sister Julie; and in 1857 James's eldest son Alphonse married his cousin Lionel's daughter Leonora at Gunnersbury. Although the Naples and Frankfurt houses tended to stagnate (for reasons largely beyond the control of Adolph and Mayer Carl), it was James who made much of the running after 1852, expanding his continental railway interests so successfully that by the end of his life the capital of the Paris house far exceeded that of its partners. Instead, he devised complicated provisions designed to transmit most of his personal wealth directly to his grandchildren. Yet the Rothschilds’ failure to establish themselves successfully in the United States proved fateful, and as financial power shifted from London to New York after 1914, their power waned.“A stupendous achievement, a triumph of historical research and imagination.”—Robert Skidelsky, The New York Review of Books“Niall Ferguson’s brilliant and altogether enthralling two-volume family saga proves that academic historians can still tell great stories that the rest of us want to read.”—The New York Times Book Review“Superb … An impressive … account of the Rothschilds and their role in history.”—Boston Globe.
But who should inherit this fortune? And I wasn't disappointed. Indeed, Mayer was such an enthusiast for venison that he defended stag hunting in a political speech at Folkestone in 1866!
In return for these concessions, the English partners accepted a new system of collaboration.

Years before—in 1814—Amschel had joked that the difference between a rich German Jew and a rich Polish Jew was that the latter would "die just when he was losing, whilst the rich German Jew only dies when he has a great deal of money." It turned out to be far from disadvantageous for the London partners to share in these continental successes. He and Carl also were conspicuously erratic in their attendance at synagogue (unlike their wives). Indeed, Gutle Rothschild had become something of a by-word by the 1840s, as The Times reported: Cartoons were published on the subject: one, entitled Grandmother's 99th Birthday, depicted James, with Gutle in the background, telling a group of well-wishers: "When she reaches par, gentlemen, I will donate to the state a little capital of 100,000 gulden" (see illustration 1.i).
A different version of the same joke has a doctor assuring her she will "live to be a hundred." Only after the deaths of James's brothers in 1855 did the new structure of the firm emerge (see table 1a). When was the last time you read The United States Constitution?

To give just one example, 17.4 per cent of the Paris house's assets in December 1851 were monies owed to it by other Rothschild houses, principally London.
