* Gloucester, Massachusetts sea serpent
* Nahant Harbor Maritime folklore
The back page has a report: "The Sea Serpent" which notes in part: "We have another affidavit...of the appearance of some huge animal in the harbor of Nashant...he had a fair view of it for 30 minutes. Its head was elevated about two feet, followed by seven or eight bunches about 6 feet apart...Its motion was undulatory...".
This is followed by: "An animal of the tyger [tiger] species, and supposed to be one of the largest kind from Mexico, has lately been seen in Kentucky..." with more.
Sixteen pages, 6 by 9 1/2 inches, some foxing, nice condition.
As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
