Item # 695903Sorry, but this item is no longer available. Please be in touch at info@rarenewspapers.com if you would like to be placed on a want list or are interested in a potential alternate issue.
December 01, 1797
NEW YORK MAGAZINE OR LITERARY REPOSITORY, December, 1797
* Highland Lighthouse
* North Truro, Massachusetts
* Cape Cod seashore
The issue is filled mostly with an eclectic collection of articles, while the back several pages contain news items of the day.
Among the articles are: "Directions for Observing Cape Cod Light-House" which takes 1 1/2 pages; "Character of Louis XVI" which takes nearly 2 pages; and: "On the Equestrian Art" plus much more.
This is followed by over two pages of news which includes details on the construction of the Bank of the United States in New York.
There are no plates present.
Certainly one of the less common 18th century American magazine titles, existing from just 1790 to 1797.
Complete in 56 pages, 5 by 8 inches, lacking a full title/contents page, some foxing, nice condition.
