Born In Boston, Mass, on January 11, 1810. Died in the house he was bron in exactly 70 years later.
Grandson of Allen Wimbley Slippers.
Around 1850 he bagan publishing articles in learnéd journals asserting that La Ligue d'Agenda de la Pinque was the victim of a kind of "fiendish tarnishing." In his articles, he stated that the League was wildly misunderstood. A calumny had been cast. The League had a more noble purpose than that which had been previously ascribed to it. He never regretted his thesis, even though he suffered a lot of derision in esoteric circles summed up by Albert Pike's truculent eithet: "Never was so great a fool wrapped up in so kind a body."
He was not alone, however. In 1855, John Morris, grandson of Guvernor Morris, published a broadside entitled The Pink League, A Calumny Refuted.
