Rothschilds

"What's in a name?" asks Shakespeare. There is a volume of meaning in its mere sound. The answer, when the name is Rothschild, is not difficult.

It has become a household word synonymous with unbounded riches, and is as familiar to the ears of the struggling artisan as to those of the banker or trader. It is a name which conjures up in the imagination visions of untold wealth and unrivaled power, which appear so startling and amazing as to be more appropriate to romance than real life.
