Text block remains firm. Uncommon antebellum Alabama imprint by Tuscaloosa, Alabama printer Marmaduke J. Slade (ca.1807-1857) who was also publisher of the "Tuscaloosa Monitor" newspaper. Born in Warren County, North Carolina, Slade learned his trade from Raleigh printer Joseph Gales, Sr. and moved to Georgia circa 1830 where he published newspapers initially in Macon from 1831-1832 and then in Milledgeville from 1833-1834. Slade moved to Tuscaloosa circa 1835-36 as his oldest surviving imprint is a University of Alabama baccalaureate address by Alva Woods in December 1836 for the school's fifth annual commencement; Slade's Tuskaloosa (the contemporary preferred spelling) imprints apparently terminate in 1847 with OCLC only citing documents involving Slade post-1850. An attorney, judge, and politician, compiler Clement Comer Clay (1789-1866) was the eighth Governor of Alabama (1835-1837) and also served in the state legislature (1827-1828), the U.S. House of Representatives (1829-1835), and the U.S. Senate (1837-1841). Clay's son, Clement Claiborne Clay (1816-1882), also served as a U.S. Senator from 1853-1861 thereafter being a Confederate States Senator from Alabama from 1862-1864.
