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.

134247The only issue missing from the run is January 1946. Two issues December 1935 and January 1938 are water-damaged and the leaves are stuck together. Another two issues June 1935 and July 1935 have the top right-hand corners affected by water and the leaves cannot be separated without risking minor damage to the text. The issue for August 1935 was similarly affected by water; its leaves have now been separated with minimal paper damage which includes short tears to the leading edges of a few leaves. Four numbers in 1954 and 1955 have clear tape repairs to the covers confined mainly to the spines. For the rest there are some trifling cover blemishes mainly chips and tiny tears but overall the condition is excellent. As a bonus all 24 issues from June 1959 to May 1961 are included in the lot. <p>This influential Australian magazine commenced publication in November 1934 and appeared monthly apart from two bi-monthly issues July-August 1972 and June-July 1974 for more than forty years. November and December 1948 are Volume 14 Numbers 13 and 14 so from January 1949 each volume represents a calendar year. The earliest issues are subtitled 'Australia and the South Seas'. From January 1936 this becomes 'Geographic Magazine. Australia and the South Seas'. From March 1937 to October 1938 it becomes simply 'Geographic Magazine'. From November 1938 to November 1939 it is 'Australia's Geographic Magazine'; this drops out between December 1930 and July 1940 before being taken up again until July 1946. From August 1946 this becomes 'Journal of the Australian Geographical Society' and from May 1947 'Australian Geographical Magazine'. <p>It remained so until the first colour issue appeared in January 1959 when for two issues only it reverted to 'Journal of the Australian Geographical Society'. It went without a subtitle until November 1961; it then became 'Australia's Way of Life Magazine' until January 1971 apart from October to December 1970 when it was 'The Australian Travel Magazine'. From February 1971 it became 'Australia's Travel Magazine' and from November 1971 to May 1972 Volume 38 Number 5 it was 'Australia's Travel and Leisure Magazine'. There may not have been an issue for June 1972 but there was a double issue for July-August 1972; the journal effectively ceased publication in July 1974. Although Volume 41 Number 1 appeared in January 1978 it failed to stimulate demand. <p>It is fair to say that the changing subtitles in the latter years reflected a change in the quality of the material published in the magazine but all the best years - before the introduction of colour - are to be found in this run. Contributors include many household names: Ion Idriess Frank Clune Mary Durack Ernestine Hill Percy Tarlton Rayment Donald F. Thomson Eleanor Dark H.A. Lindsay Charles Mountford Arthur Upfield Charles Chauvel . There is much Indigenous and North Australian content and the photographic illustrations are of lasting significance. Approximately 300 issues. unknown

The binding has some rubbing at the tips and edges two joints starting but still a firm and solid binding in original state with no evidence of repair or restoration. 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."
