Overall almost very good. A run of the first twelve issues and the 1775 supplement of THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE. the only magazine issued in the American colonies for most of the crucial year of 1775. This copy belonged to Revolutionary- era printer Francis Bailey of Philadelphia and Lancaster Pennsylvania. In the latter location Bailey was the printer of the first edition of the Articles of Confederation. THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE is among the most important American Revolutionary-era publications for two primary reasons. First it was edited from February to July 1775 by the famous radical Thomas Paine and his regular occupation as he was developing COMMON SENSE was as its editor. Secondly it contains some of the most significant maps produced in America during the Revolution including battle plans that became prototypes for oft-reproduced illustrations. Only a small handful of similar maps were produced in America during the Revolution. Ristow describes three of the maps and plans numbers 8 9 and 10 below as "the earliest revolutionary war maps printed in America." The present collection contains the first twelve of the total nineteen issues of THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE a complete run for the year 1775. <br> <br> THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE was conceived and founded by the Revolutionary printer Robert Aitken best known for his work as a printer for the Continental Congress. Aitken launched the periodical himself but soon found it too much work and hired Paine as editor at £50 a year. Paine had only arrived in America a few months before in December 1774. He quickly became the major contributor as well as editor sometimes writing under the initials "A.B." and sometimes with no by-line. "These initials he affixed to descriptions of mechanical devices anecdotes Addisonian essays argumentative papers and poems in some variety.the most imaginative and literary of the pieces have never been reprinted. <br> <br> "Published on the eve of the American Revolution and edited by one of the leading Revolutionary publicists THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE is of course of paramount political interest.in December the magazine published 'Reflections on the Duty of Princes' in which sovereigns are sharply warned against the exercise of arbitrary power. This is signed 'A.' and is followed by an oratorical passage 'On Liberty' signed 'Philo-Libertas.' Both are in the accents of Paine." - Mott. Mott also particularly mentions Paine's famous "Liberty Tree" article in July 1775 Phillis Wheatley's verses to Washington of April 1776 and Paine's article on the abuse of texts in the supplementary number for 1775. Paine also contributed much that was not political and there are many articles on current events in that fast-moving period which may or may not come from his pen; however writing for this magazine often it was said under the influence of drink was Paine's primary work during this period and all told a substantial part of each issue sprang from his genius until his break with Aitken in July 1775. The magazine chronicles month by month Paine's sentiments before writing COMMON SENSE which was published in mid- January 1776. <br> <br> Many of the important maps and illustrations in THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE were engraved by the publisher Robert Aitken. The plates in the present volume are as follows: <br> <br> 1 "A New Electrical Machine" in the January 1775 issue. A detailed illustration of a European-invented device for studying electricity. <br> <br> 2 "Doctor Goldsmith" in the January 1775 issue. A portrait of Oliver Goldsmith. <br> <br> 3 "A New Threshing Instrument" in the February 1775 issue. <br> <br> 4 "General Wolfe. A new Song Engraved for the Pennsylvania Magazine" in the March 1775 issue. A folding plate of sheet music with lyrics on the death of Gen. Wolfe in the French and Indian War. <br> <br> 5 "A New Invented Machine for Spinning of Wool or Cotton" in the April 1775 issue. A quite detailed illustration drawn and engraved by C. Tully the inventor of the machine. The plate is torn in the lower margin with a small bit of loss. <br> <br> 6 "Front View of a Frame House resembling Brick" in the April 1775 issue. A fine early American architectural illustration. <br> <br> 7 "Description of a new invented Machine for deepning sic and cleansing Docks &c." in the May 1775 issue. This folding plate itself has no caption but is thus described in the text. An early Philadelphia invention of a dredger. The plate is torn in the upper right corner with loss of about one-sixth of the image supplied in expert facsimile. <br> <br> 8 "A New Plan of Boston Harbour from an Actual Survey" in the June 1775 issue.

JOLLY MAPS OF AMERICA IN PERIODICALS BEFORE 1800 271. <br> <br> The provenance of this copy is of particular interest. The volume is blindstamped on the front and rear boards: "F. Bailey's." This is Francis Bailey who operated as a printer in Philadelphia until 1777 and then moved to Lancaster Pennsylvania. In the chaos that ensued after the English seized Philadelphia in the fall of 1777 and the Continental Congress retreated to York Pennsylvania Bailey became for a time the official printer to both the Congress and the government of Pennsylvania. As such he printed the first edition of the Articles of Confederation in Lancaster in November 1777 and a number of important Revolutionary decrees. <br> <br> Lengthy runs of THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE especially with the scarce illustrations and plans are virtually unknown in the marketplace. A major Thomas Paine piece and of great importance for his work and the American situation on the eve of the Revolution as well as for the graphics and maps bound in.

182819439New-York: G. & C. Carvill and Elam Bliss 1828. Stated second edition of the first volume. Spine and label darkened with some wear and bumping to the boards; somewhat foxed throughout a bit heavily in spots; a good copy. 2 vols in 1 large 8vo publisher's rose half cloth pink boards printed spine label 192; iv 188 pages. Frontis engraved view of Trenton Falls inserted before vol. 1. Let then Americans labour to advance their literary glory! Let the nation take the lead! Let the infant colleges and schools throughout the land be liberally endowed and let observatories and philosophical cabinets be established in every state! Let public libraries literary associations and the fine arts be generously sanctioned by the donations the presence and the co-operation of our citizens! Let learned lecturers be appointed at the national expense to unfold the principles of physical and moral science and diffuse a taste for belle lettre and eloquence! Let encouragement be always given to the young adventurous writer and premiums be unceasingly offered to successful literary candidates!" With the publisher's spine label giving a better idea of the contents than the bare title page might "The Manuscript Being a Series of Original Essays and Tales" this the collected volume of an interesting American serial that ran to twelve numbers of four parts each this second edition having reset the first several numbers and dropped a serialized "Annals of Trinity Church" in New York that appeared in first edition of the 1827 first volume. Comparison to the 1827 first edition of the first volume shows evidence of reset type up through the latter part of the serialized story "Mary Linden" in number two; collected volumes are also seen with cancels mounted to the contents pages which is not the case here. The fictional sketches tend to touch on romantic historical incidents of the American Revolution or of Indian wars and an extensive sketch in the second volume purports to relate a conversation with Thomas Paine in his squalid quarters on what is now Fulton Street shortly before his death with a description of Paine's physical disfigurement and his intemperance suggested. Sabin 28840 attributing the effort to "Griggs sic Rev. Mr." presumably the industrious John Grigg then resident per the 1828 Longworth directory at 419 Grand; Grigg who had earlier published the pseudonymous short tale Manuscript of Diedrich Knickerbocker Jun. in New York in 1824 a romantic historical sketch very much of a piece with the sketches included here of which per Sabin "nearly all the articles relate to America." The North American Review "Quarterly List of New Publications" in the January 1828 number notices the publication of issues number 2 and 3 "New York. C. G. Morgan" which remains something of a mystery remaining to be untangled. The attribution in one instance on OCLC to Rev. Leverette Griggs 1808-1883 seems overly optimistic; this younger Griggs did not graduate from Yale until 1829 and was not ordained until 1832. G. & C. Carvill, and Elam Bliss, unknown books
