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>.

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.

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."
