John Howard Hickcox, Sr. (August 10, 1832 in Albany – January 31, 1897 in Washington D.C.),〔(Internet Archive: Library Journal vol.22 )〕 a nineteenth-century librarian and bookseller, is best known for his efforts to organize and index federal government publications. He published ''United States Government Publications; a Monthly Catalogue'', also known as ''Hickcox's Monthly Catalogue'',〔(National Archives, Library Resources )〕 from 1885 〔(Internet Archive: Hickcox's Catalog Vol.1 )〕 to 1894〔(Internet Archive: Hickcox's Catalog Vol.10 )〕 in order to alert people to the availability of recent government publications—a function which the government was not performing. His catalog was the predecessor of the ''Monthly Catalog'', of which he was the first compiler. From 1858 to 1864, he was the Assistant Librarian at the New York State Library. He was employed at the congressional library in Washington, D.C. from 1874 to 1882, when he was arrested on charges of stealing letters addressed to the Librarian of Congress. The charges were eventually dismissed, but he never returned to the library.〔Stimson & Nobunaga〕 Hickcox was also a famous numismatist, and wrote books such as ''A History of the Bills of Credit or Paper Money Issued by New York, From 1709 to 1789 with a Description of the Bills, and Catalogue of the Various Issues''〔(Google Books: History of the Bills...etc. )〕 and ''Historical Account of American Coinage''. ==References==
