| Milwaukee, Wisconsin Daily Free Democrat - June 5, 1856 |
The Milwaukee
Daily Free Democrat was edited by
Sherman M. Booth, a native of western New York State, Yale grad, and prominent abolitionist. The year before this notice of Melville's
Piazza Tales appeared in the
Daily Free Democrat, Booth had been
sentenced in federal court to "a month's imprisonment and a fine of $1,000" for his role in the
rescue of Joshua Glover.
THE PIAZZA TALES: By Herman Melville.
This pleasant book contains five excellent stories, the first of which is an exquisite word-picture, and is worth twice the price of the book.
