2 bind. Privattryk, København 1925-27. 344 + 220 sider. Illustreret i s/h. Smukke uniforme brune halvlæderbind med rygforgyldning (Anker Kyster). * Med dedikation fra Harald Plum på fribladet i bind 1. Et supplerende bind kom i 1929. **.Harald Plum (1881-1929) var erhvervsmand i den store stil og etablerede i 1911 holding-selskabet The United Export Co. med støtte fra Landmandsbanken. I 1916 etableredes overbygningen Det transatlantiske Kompagni. I løbet af krigsårene og perioden lige efter opnåede Plum engagementer i Landmandsbanken for knap 200 millioner kroner - en fuldstændig svimlende sum på det tidspunkt. Plums transaktioner blev en katastrofe for Landmandsbankens aktionærer ved bankens sammenbrud i 1922. Selv om Plum blev idømt en stor bøde, fortsatte han ufortrødent sine transaktioner, indtil en stor politiundersøgelse i efteråret 1929 afslørede bedragerier og fusk til omkring 20 millioner. Historien minder ikke så lidt om vore dages Nordisk Fjer-skandale. Plum valgte da også samme udvej som direktøren her, da boblen brast: Han skød sig. Forinden havde han deponeret manuskriptet til et fjerde bind af nærværende erindringer på Det Kongelige Bibliotek.
