Item # 647305 THE AMERICAN MUSEUM, Philadelphia, August, 1790

A wealth of fine content in this 18th century American magazine. Among the articles are an item concerning McGillivrary and his education; some queries to Congress concerning the slave trade, one bit noting: "Whether congress have not full & clear power to prevent any citizen...from being concerned in the African slave trade to foreign parts?...", and another similar (see); "Observations on Dress" "Essay on the Influence of Religion in Civil Society..." "Extract from an Oration on Independence" "A Valuable & Important Discovery--From Captain Cook's Voyage" "Thoughts on the State of American Affairs" "Thoughts on the Assumption of the State Debts" and much more.
Complete in 48 pages, the appendices not included, full title/contents page with a decorative device at the top, 5 by 7 3/4 inches, very nice condition.
