177956131Providence: Southwick and Wheeler 1779. Folio broadsheet approx. 16" x 10" text in triple column beneath the running head; lower outside corners eroded with loss to the beginnings and/or ends of about ten lines about 20-25 words mostly on the recto; all else very good. With the ink signature of Theodore Foster 1752-1828 U.S. Senator from Rhode Island 1790-1803. Solomon Southwick had published the Mercury a newspaper in Newport until that town was occupied by the British in 1778. Southwick then buried his printing press and types and eventually sought safety in Providence. Once in Providence Southwick decided to continue to print however the only way he could supply himself with materials was through John Carter the owner of the Providence Gazette. Apparently there was a dispute between Carter and Southwick as to who would get to purchase the printing press and types left by the recently deceased John Waterman. This was the only printing press and type available because the British had seized all the printing materials that had been previously ordered. Apparently Carter purchased the press and sold it to Southwick on the condition that the press "should not be set up in town or used to oppose a friend in business who had served him in distress." At first Southwick started his business in Rehoboth Massachusetts but secured a one-half interest in printing for the state of Rhode Island. In March of 1779 in company with Bennett Wheeler he began to publish in Providence The American Journal and General Advertiser using the Updike house next to John Carter for their office. There was much bad feeling displayed by Carter at Southwick's alleged treachery and Carter printed a story in the Providence Gazette about the incident and Southwick printed a response to Carter. Carter soon printed his rebuttal to the charges that Southwick made and once again Southwick printed his answer. This rare printing was Southwick's answer to Carter's rebuttal. It takes up the entire front side of this broadsheet and one-and-one-half columns on the back. Also included on this rare broadsheet is a Full Pardon offered by General George Washington to all the deserters in the Army that wanted to come back but feared to do so because they thought that they would be severely punished. There is also news from Charleston about Colonel Campbell's expedition from Savannah to Augusta Georgia. Not found in OCLC; but apparently there are copies at Brown University and the R.I. Historical Society. Southwick and Wheeler unknown

At the bottom of page 378 vol 1 of the Plough Boy there is a comment by Lord Dalhousie in pencil on the article entitled "Flemish Husbandry" with a comparative table of produce of Flemish and English farmers Lord Dalhousie remarks as follows: It is not the bleak mountains of Scotland that have progressed so much beyond the Agriculture of England but the rich Lowlands south of the mountains. On the contrary the System off allowing is the Scottish practice and is readily exploited in England. - to Sir John Sinclair the above comparative table is not very explicit and there appears to be in it some Flemish crop errors not -redley.'The Plough Boy" a pioneer American agricultural weekly magazine published in Albany first appeared in June 1819. The editor originally listed as Henry Homespun Jr. was the pseudonym for Solomon Southwick1773-1839 whose name appeared in the magazine title in Volume 1number 34 with the added title "The Plough Boy and Journal of the Board of Agriculture". The periodical had been selected as the official organ of the Board of Agriculture for the State of New York. A very popular periodical it was printed for over twenty years. Philemon Wright1760-1839 created the first permanent settlement in the Ottawa Valley region in 1800 on the north side of the Ottawa River. It became a primarily agricultural community covering what is now the city of Gatineau and Aylmer. At about 37000 acres it became the most developed farming area in Lower Canada. Farms included Gateno Columbia FallsColumbia Britannia Chaudiere and Dalhousie Farm. Wright shared an interest with Lord Dalhousie in the development and improvement of agriculture in Canada. Certainly a library of agricultural books would have been of prime interest to Wright. George Ramsay 9th Earl of Dalhousie was recognized as having an ardent interest in agricultural improvement and was noted as inspiring the formation of agricultural societies throughout the Colonies. He obviously had studied "The Plough Boy" and on page 381 of Volume I as noted above. In Nova Scotia Lord Dalhousie was a friend and supporter of Scottish agricultural writerJohn Young who dedicated his book on improving Canadian agriculture"Letters of Agricola" Halifax 1822 to the Governor-General. Dr. B.R.MacKay had a long career at the Geological Survey 1907-1953. He was a valued member of the Ottawa Historical Society and was known for leading the campaign to save historical buildings or sites. He had so many books in his large house it began to sink under the weight. He donated many articles to the Bytown museum and claimed among his prizes the present set of books a rope that Wright had used to tie his first timber raft etc. He also had Sir John A. Mcdonald's desk and carried a pictur. 1819-1821 hardcover
