Philip Hone

Philip Hone 1780-1851, American diarist and politician, b. New York City. With his brother he built up a successful auctioneering business, which he later abandoned for politics. He was mayor of New York City in 1825. His diary (1828-51), opinionated and shrewd, contains valuable records of life in New York and of the development of the Whig party during that period.

Bibliography: See selections from his diary (ed. by B. Tuckerman, 2 vol., 1889) and by A. Nevins (2 vol., 1927; repr. 1971).
