Thomas Payne Thompson (1860-1924), Crescent City bibliophile and author of more than twenty pamphlets, chiefly on the subject of the Panama Exposition, and the compiler of a list of Louisiana Writers Native and Resident. His anticipated bibliography of Louisiana was never published, but in 1912 Thompson issued a catalog of the items then in his collection, the first important collection of materials related to Louisiana history which remains together today, acquired in 1939 by the University of Alabama. Among its treasures are the 1806 New Orleans edition of the Code noir, which regulated the behavior of slaves in the Orleans Territory - Exercices de cacographie (1861), a two volume grammar textbook issued in Confederate New Orleans - and the only known copy of Medicamens, Et précis de la méthode de Mr. Masdevall...(1796), the first medical book published in the Mississippi Valley and considered by Thompson to be the first book printed in Louisiana on any subject.
