July 01, 1779

THE UNITED STATES MAGAZINE, Philadelphia, July, 1779  In the entirety of the Revolutionary War only two American magazines existed, they being this one and the "Pennsylvania Magazine" which published in Philadelphia as well, from January, 1775 thru July, 1776.
The "United States Magazine" was the only American magazine that published during the heart of the war and lasted but one year from January thru December, 1779. The next such attempt would not be until October, 1783 when the war was essentially over.
The rarity of this title is such that in our 48 years we have had but one opportunity to purchase several issues.
Among the items within: "The Constitution of Delaware State"; "An Address...on...the Anniversary of the Independence..."; a poem titled: "The Loyalists". There are over 5 pages with current reports on the Revolutionary War, including a report from General Wayne to General Washington on the battle of Stony Point; plus much more.
Complete in 40 pages, wide, untrimmed margins, 5 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches, full title/contents page, great condition.

Item from Catalog 349 (released for December, 2024)
