Da Wikipedia: JOHN POLLEXFEN merchant and economic writer, born about 1638, settled in the parish of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, London. A member of the committee of trade and plantations in 1675, and of the board of trade from 1696 to 1705, he exercised much influence. He agitated for withdrawing the privileges of the old East India Company, and establishing a new company on a national basis. In 1697 he published ‘A Discourse of Trade, Coyn, and Paper Credit, and of ways and means to gain and retain riches. To which is added the Argument of a Learned Counsel [Sir Henry Pollexfen] upon an Action of the Case brought by the East India Company against Mr. Sand[y]s, an Interloper,’ London, 8vo. In this important pamphlet Pollexfen treats labour as the sole source of wealth, and points out that national wealth depends on the proportion between ‘those that depend to have their riches and necessaries from the sweat and labour of others,’ and ‘those that labour to provide those things’ (p. 44). Like all free traders of the seventeenth century, he was equally opposed to monopoly and to ‘leaving trade to take its own course,’ but favourable to the state regulation of industry and commerce. His main object, however, was to attack the East India Company, and to urge the claims of the private traders. He discusses at length the ‘interlopers,’ particularly Captain Thomas Sandys, to whose enterprises he, together with other merchants, probably contributed, so that a test case might be submitted to the courts.

Presentation to American journalist and historian Mark Sullivan 1874 - 1952 author of the six volume "Our Times". "For Mark Sullivan from Thomas W. Lamont June 1933." Mark Sullivan was a titan of twentieth century journalism. Born on a farm in Chester County Pennsylvania in 1874 he was only in his late teens when he bought an interest in a local newspaper the Phoenixville Republican for $300. The profits from this investment funded his education at Harvard where he earned bachelor's and law degrees. In the first decade of the century he was a muckraker in the mold of Ida Tarbell and Lincoln Steffens. His 1904 exposé on patent medicine quacks for Ladies' Home Journal helped stoke the public outrage that resulted in the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act two years later. He was a close friend of Herbert Hoover and shared similar conservatism. In his later years he railed against the New Deal and American engagement overseas. He died in 1952 in the same farmhouse he was born in. Thomas W. Lamont served as acting head of J.P. Morgan & Co. and later as chairman of its board of directors. Banker Henry P. Davison was involved in the founding of Bankers Trust Company and became a senior partner at J.P. Morgan.
