17893563Castle William's heritage as a military installation dates to 1634 when cannons first were deployed in an earthen fort to defend Boston Harbor. British officials used the fort as a refuge in the tumultuous times leading up to the American Revolution; on their way out of Boston in March 1776 the British destroyed the Fort. It was quickly rebuilt by Bostonians. <br /><br />The present view shows the rebuilt Fort with an oversized American flag waving above. The Fort served as an active military installation during the American Revolution the War of 1812 the Spanish-American War and World Wars I and II. Known as Fort Independence since 1797 the Fort today is a state park. <br /><br />Stauffer attributes the engraving to Samuel Hill who did many of the plates for the <i>Massachusetts Magazine</i>.

17853784<b><i>Founding of Harvard Medical School</i></b><br /><br /><i>The Boston Magazine</i> was published from October 1783 to December 1786 and was the first magazine to be published in Boston in the aftermath of the American Revolution. A major attraction of this issue is the presence of the front and rear printed wrappers although they are frayed and detached. The front wrapper features a large woodcut of the State House and surrounding buildings in Boston.The first 3 1/2 pages of the<i> Magazine</i> are Harvard's announcement from September 1783 of the creation of "the Medical Institution" now known as Harvard Medical School. This is followed by about two pages of an address "to the students in physic" i.e. the medical students reflecting upon the first two years of the medical school and outlining the requirements for a medical degree. About two pages are devoted to the sailing directions into and out of Plymouth Harbour. A brief news item in the "Monthly Chronology" reports a meeting to be held in October in Falmouth in the District of Maine on creating a "separate government" for the eastern counties -- a very early report on a separation that would not happen for another 35 years. Issues of <i>The Boston Magazine</i> in the original wrappers are extremely uncommon.<b>References</b>: Mott<i> A History of American Magazines 1741-1850</i>: Vol. I p. 28.

17883752This engraving of the lighthouse at Cape Henlopen is the first image of a lighthouse to appear in an American magazine. Indeed we believe this is one of the earliest American images of a lighthouse one can hope to obtain. The Cape Henlopen light was completed in 1767 and first lit in 1769. This view according to the caption was drawn in 1780. It was published in the February 1788 issue of <i>The Columbian Magazine</i>. Although the engraving plate is not signed the engraver was likely James Trenchard one of the proprietors of the <i>Magazine</i>. <br /><br />This wonderful early American image has survived longer than its subject -- the lighthouse depicted collapsed in 1926 due to erosion. <br /><b>References:</b> Lewis: <i>A Guide to Engravings in American Magazines 1741-1810</i>: p. 4.

17883741<p><strong>Harvard College -- "the earliest engraving of the College</strong><strong> which one may reasonably hope to obtain"</strong></p><p>This engraving entitled "View of the ancient Buildings belonging to Harvard College Cambridge New-England" appeared in the December 1788 issue of <em>The Columbian Magazine.</em> Bail notes that the view is based on the Burgis-Price print of 1743 which in turn was a slight modification of the Burgis view of 1726. The view taken from a point in front of the present Johnston Gate shows three College buildings in 1726 from left to right: the second Harvard College the first Stoughton Hall and the still-standing Massachusetts Hall. Although unsigned the engraving is undoubtedly the work of James Trenchard a co-owner of <em>The Columbian</em> <em>Magazine </em>and the engraver of nearly all the plates which appeared in it. <br /><br />Of the<em> Columbian</em> <em>Magazine</em> view Bail states: "In spite of the fact that the print is solely an adaptation it is important because of its early appearance and relative scarcity. This is the earliest engraving of the College which one may reasonably hope to obtain."</p><p>The engraving is accompanied by a disbound example of the December 1788 <em>Columbian Magazine</em> in which it appeared. It includes a 5-page "An Account of the ancient Colleges of Cambridge in New-England." Most of this is a republication of material from "a very scarce and valuable pamphlet" printed in London in 1642. In addition to a description of the College "The edifice is very fair and comely within and without." the rules and curriculum of the College are provided.</p><p>A very desirable engraving of Harvard with an example of the magazine in which it originally appeared.</p><p><strong>References:</strong> For the engraving: Bail <em>Views of Harvard</em>: 13; Plate XVII illustrated. Fielding <em>American Engravers upon Copper and Steel</em>: 1819. <br /><br /><strong>Condition: </strong>Image is age-toned with some generally light foxing. Darkening to margins outside of platemark where previously matted; remnant of strip of masking tape at upper margin on verso. The <em>Magazine</em> is complete and quite bright and clean although several pages are detached from the balance of the text.<br /><br />ICN 3431. <br /><br /><br /><br /></p> Printed for the Proprietors by W.

THE UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 1790; which with the stated first printing of the address to George Washington and his address to the Citizens of Alexandria also contains "Letters Debates Essays Tales Poetry History Biography Antiquities Voyages Travels Astronomy Geography Mathematics Mechanics Architecture Philosophy Medicine Chemistry Husbandry Gardening and other Arts and Sciences."<br> At 10:00am on the morning of April 16 1789 General George Washington left Mount Vernon for the journey north to New York where he would be inaugurated as the first President of the new United States. His first stop was in Alexandria with his former aide-de-camp Col. David Humphries and the Secretary of Congress Charles Thomson. At noon he arrived in Alexandria where he took an early dinner at Wise's Tavern with citizens of the town. The address by the Mayor celebrating Washington's service to and love of country was followed by Washington's own address concerning his considerations for his having accepted the honour to be bestowed upon him in New York. Washington had wanted to retire from public life but agreed to continue to serve the new nation upon the call of its citizenry.<br> Both addresses are moving tributes one to the man one to the new nation and its people. Humble in origin brilliant in effect they are. In the later afternoon hours General Washington was escorted by admirers up the Potomac to Georgetown where he was greeted by a large contingent of the citizenry of that town who escorted him up the Post Road towards Baltimore where he spent the night at Spurrier's Tavern. <br><br>George Washington's Address:<br> <br>To THE MAYOR CORPORATION AND CITIZENS OF ALEXANDRIA<br><br>Alexandria April 16 1789.<br><br>"Gentlemen: Although I ought not to conceal yet I cannot describe the painful emotions which I felt in being called upon to determine whether I would accept or refuse the Presidency of the United States.<br><br>The unanimity of the choice the opinion of my friends communicated from different parts of Europe as well as of America the apparent wish of those who were not altogether satisfied with the Constitution in its present form and an ardent desire on my own part to be instrumental in conciliating the good will of my countrymen towards each other have induced an acceptance.<br><br>Those who have known me best and you my fellow citizens are from your situation in that number know better than any others that my love of retirement is so great that no earthly consideration short of a conviction of duty could have prevailed upon me to depart from my resolution “ never more to take any share in transactions of a public nature .†For at my age and in my circumstances what possible advantages could I propose to myself from embarking again on the tempestuous and uncertain ocean of public-life<br><br>I do not feel myself under the necessity of making public declarations in order to convince you Gentlemen of my attachment to yourselves and regard for your interests. The whole tenor of my life has been open to your inspection; and my past actions rather than my present declarations must be the pledge of my future conduct.<br><br>In the mean time I thank you most sincerely for the expressions of kindness contained in your valedictory address. It is true just after having bade adieu to my domestic connexions this tender proof of your friendship is but too well calculated still farther to awaken my sensibility and encrease my regret at parting from the enjoyments of private life.<br><br>All that now remains for me is to commit myself and you to the protection of that beneficent Being who on a former occasion has happly brought us together after a long and distressing separation. Perhaps the same gracious Providence will again indulge us with the same heartfelt felicity. But words my fellow-citizens fail me: Unutterable sensations must then be left to more expressive silence: while from an aching heart I bid you all my affectionate friends and kind neighbours farewell! "<br><br> This volume also contains a series of Picturesque Scenes from Homer's Iliad with handsome engravings; Memoirs of the life and writings of the celebrated physician Dr. William Harvey; and a virtually countless array of stories and reports of "all things instructive and entertaining."
