First Edition of the volume for January through June of 1790, including the supplements. Containing the stated FIRST PRINTING of the Addresses of the Mayor of Alexandria, VA. to George Washington on his leaving his home in Mount Vernon to become President of the United States and of Washington's address to the people in reply. Most probably the first printing in book form of either of the addresses. No earlier printings in book form seem to exist and the Library of Congress shows only the manuscript copy in their holdings. Also containing one of the earliest reports of the mutiny onboard the H.M.S. 'Bounty' and an extensive essay on William Harvey, as well as an essay by Mrs. Piozzi on the present King of Naples. Illustrated throughout. 8vo, contemporary tan calf over marbled paper covered boards, the spine with raised bands and a single red morocco label gilt tooled and lettered. 379, [5 index] pp. A very fresh and well preserved copy, the text still quite clean and crisp, only a hint of occasional spotting, a few old marks by an early reader, including the marking of one small section as "Not Fact". 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." 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. 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. George Washington's Address: To THE MAYOR, CORPORATION, AND CITIZENS OF ALEXANDRIA[Alexandria, April 16, 1789.]"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.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.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 circum.

unbound. Condición: very good. Map. Uncolored engraving. Image measures 10.5" x 12.75". Detailed map of Quebec with Newfoundland and part of New England. Published for "Universal Magazine" Universal Magazine was published monthly in London from 1747 to 1814. It featured handsome maps that have since become prized for their aesthetics and, as a result, increasingly scarce.

From the map's title, one wouldn't expect to find substantially all of New England on it.but it's there. The boundaries of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island are reasonably accurate, but "New Hampshire" applies to all of present-day New Hampshire and Vermont, and no attempt is made to show a boundary for an unnamed Maine. Included in the few coastal towns identified in Maine are Newcastle, Pentagoit and St. Saviours. The map bears a striking similarity -- though is somewhat larger than -- A Map of the British Plantations in North America that appeared in the London Magazine 36 years earlier.

A nice Revolutionary War-era map of the Province of New Jersey, also including Delaware Bay and the western portion of Long Island. The map portrays a fairly well-developed road system. Counties are named but boundaries are not shown. However, two lines depict the East and West Jersey boundary as it existed in 1687 and 1743. Jolly, Maps of America in Periodicals before 1800: 352.

A nicely detailed map of Massachusetts and Rhode Island as portrayed in the midst of the American Revolution. Martha's Vineyard and Nantuket I. (sic) are included. Considerable detail of towns, rivers and even a few roads is provided. Jolly, Maps of America in Periodicals before 1800: 355.
