Hallock, William H.
LIFE OF GERARD HALLOCK, Thirty-three Years Editor of the New York Journal of Commerce. Illustrated in Biography, Professional Writings, Correspondence, Controversies, etc.
pp. 287 + Frontis: Original portrait photograph "From a Photo by Brady." 12mo. 190 mm. First leaves quite age stained. XLib. Endpapers perished. Gerard Hallock (1800-1866) journalist and public benefactor. He was born in Plainfield, MA; graduated from Williams College; and in 1824 established in Boston the Telegraph, which in 1825 was merged into the Recorder. He removed to New York city in 1827, to assist in editing the New York Observer, of which he was part owner, and in 1828 became part owner with David Hale in the Journal of Commerce. In 1828 they obtained advance European news by intercepting incoming vessels at Sandy Hook, and in 1833 secured advance information from congress by an express coach between Philadelphia and New York, with eight relays of horses, and this relay was subsequently extended to Washington and finally resulted in the Halifax express - the fore-runner to the famed Pony Express. Although a pro-slavery Democrat, he was a friend of the slaves, believing in emancipation through compensation to owners, and he personally purchased the freedom of upwards of one hundred slaves, whom he transported to Liberia. He founded the Southern Aid Society when the American Home Mission Society withdrew its support from the churches maintained by slave-holders. When the government in 1861 denied the use of the mails to the Journal of Commerce, Mr. Hallock retired from journalism and from all participation in public affairs. He died in New Haven, CT. Jan. 4, 1866. NW25

Sumner, Charles.
A MEMORIAL OF CHARLES SUMNER.
316 p. + Carbon Phototype (Woodbury Type) Frontis Portrait, foxed. 4to. Original full purple cloth binding, lettered in gold. Extremities worn without loss. Spine slightly worn. Hardbound. Includes: a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier [BAL 21920F]; and eulogies by George William Curtis & Carl Schurz; an oration by Robert B. Elliott; a sermon by Henry W. Foote; etc. Charles Sumner (1811-1874) was a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts who played a prominent role in the U.S. Civil War era. An avid abolitionist who refused compromise on the issue of equal rights for blacks. He was one of the most powerful members of the Radical Republicans, whose insistence on immediate equal rights for blacks (and punitive measures against slaveowners) caused him to clash with presidents Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson and Ulysses Grant. The mounted photographic frontis portrait of Sumner by Allen & Rowell adds to the value of this work, but it is often overlooked. SHELF W26
