Near the beginning of his remarks: "...The close of the late war with Great Britain having established our independence & given us the exclusive power of modelling our government on principles most apparently conducive to our prosperity..." and so much more.
Included are both plates called for, one showing: "Frederick IV King of Prussia" and the other showing a: "Machine for Raising Water" (see).
Complete in 92 pages, 5 by 8 inches, full title/contents page with an engraving of St. John's Gate, nice condition.
A very nice magazine from the "mother country" with a wide range of varied content. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907.
