(CIVIL WAR--1863.) New York Journal of Commerce. Approximately 179 issues, each 4 pages, 32 1/2 x 24 inches. Folio, 1/2 calf, partly disbound; moderate dampstaining and edge wear, lacking 31 December issue. New York, 1 November 1862 to 29 April 1863
While the Journal of Commerce had been an abolitionist newspaper, it became a notorious Copperhead organ during the war under new ownership, and was shut down twice by orders of President Lincoln. The 2 January 1863 issue prints the Emancipation Proclamation, and the related editorial declares it "a farce coming in after a long tragedy. . . . Most of the people regard it as a very foolish piece of business."
