Montgomery, Morton L.
LIFE AND TIMES OF CONRAD WEISER, the First Representative Man of Berks County.
pp. 36, (36) = Numerous Illustrated Advertisments for local businesses of every type and variety. Each text and advertising page is printed within a typographic frame. 8vo. 235 mm. XLib. Original printed wraps; soiled and chipped. "The original purpose of this publication is to popularize, under the auspices of the Board of Trade of Reading, the project of erecting a monument to the memory of Conrad Weiser." Johann Conrad Weiser (1696-1760) was a Pennsylvania German pioneer, farmer, monk, tanner, judge, and soldier. His most significant contributions were as an interpreter and emissary in councils between Native Americans and the colonies, especially in Pennsylvania. The biography is pretty standard, but the various illustrated advertisements are really quite wonderful. JUN5 BOX1

Freud, Sigmund.
AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL STUDY. Second Edition.
pp. 137 + (1) [Publisher's advertisement]. Text pages browned (as usual) but not brittle. 8vo, 220 mm. Original green cloth binding, lettered in gilt. Original printed dust jacket. Edited by Ernest Jones. "This work appeared originally in 1925 in volume IV of Die Medizin der Gegenwart in Selbstdarstellungen (Leipzig: Felix Meiner), a collection of short studies by various members of the medical profession designed to give a picture of the present state of medicine as revealed in the autobiographies of its leaders. The stress was thus laid by implication upon the professional rather than the personal histories of the contributors." This is not to be confused with Freud's prior autobiographical studies, as he states in the first chapter that this edition is based more on his professional work, rather than his personal experiences in the field. This Second (first British) Edition was "completely revised and elaborated" by Dr. Freud. Hardbound. Near fine. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! MED 8

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
