Oblong quarto. (9 3/8 x 13 3/4 inches). [23]pp. text and sixteen lithographed plates (several folding). Original gold-printed black wrappers bound in. Period half calf and brown cloth boards, original printed label An incredible city directory and business promotional, illustrating eight blocks of Chestnut Street in downtown Philadelphia on sixteen beautifully executed lithographs. Following in the long tradition of the city directory but taking it to new heights, publisher Julio H. Rae produced the first truly visual directory of an American city. Each plate depicts a block or a portion of a block of Philadelphia's main commercial thoroughfare, between 2nd and 10th streets. Both sides of the block are pictured, and each plate is keyed to an accompanying text leaf carrying advertisements from the merchants depicted. Taller buildings are shown in their complete elevation on folding plates, with the grandest plate folding out vertically and horizontally and showing the State House. A note on the facade of the building reads: "Declaration of Independence signed in this room." While not every merchant on Chestnut Street subscribed to the work, leaving some buildings unadorned on the plates, Rae's work carries advertisements for all manner of businesses, from hatters, jewelers, tailors, and grocers, to hotels, druggists, daguerreotypists, and Welch's National Circus and Theatre. Rae intended to update his Chestnut Street directory each year, showing changes in the businesses, and also announced a similar work covering Market Street from the Delaware River to Broad Street. Apparently he was too ambitious, and neither project came to fruition. Rae was not exaggerating, though, in his preface when he wrote that he "felt confident that he has hit upon a system not only novel and beautiful, but exceedingly useful, and one of which he believes to be entirely unique."

Newspaper. This is a vintage Boston newspaper. Dated March 16, 1780. 4-pages. This is a smaller format and different masthead (more plain) than other copies of this newspaper title seen. ~13-1/2" x 8-1/2". Additional advertisements printed horizontally along the fore-edge. Some edgewear. Age-toned, and with some foxing. There is an inked name and town at the top front (probably contemporary). Difficult to make out, but the last name might be Libbins(?).

unbound. folio. unbound. (4), (4), (4), (4) pages. 4 issues. Four consecutive issues of what was, at the time, the official newspaper of the United States government, which published the proceedings and acts of the United States Congress. All four issues in near fine condition. It was edited by Samuel Smith, a loyal ally of Thomas Jefferson. Included in this set are the issues of March 18, 20, 23, and 25. Of special significance is the first printing of the prospectus, by Meriwether Lewis, of his journals of the Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-6). Also in the issue of March 18, preceding the prospectus, is a letter from Lewis warning the public of "several unauthorized and probably some spurious publications" about the expedition "by individuals entirely unknown to me (Lewis)." Lewis noted that permission to publish the journals was granted exclusively to Robert Frazier. Lewis's letter appears once again preceding the prospectus in the March 25 issue for a second time. The prospectus itself is included in all four issues. The prospectus published in the National Intellingencer is noted in The Lewis and Clark Expedition: A Bibliography and Essays (Portland, Oregon: Lewis and Clark College, 2003), 89-91. This work, however, notes that the prospectus did not appear until March 23, not noting its publication on March 18 or 20. It does note that what Lewis called a "spurious" work was by Patrick Gass, a sergeant in the Corps of Discovery, published by David M'Keehan of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even so, it found a "brisk market," Lewis himself died in 1809, "shattering the hopes of those anticipating a definitive narrative" of the expedition. Thomas Jefferson and William Clark experienced "mounting anxiety" about publishing an accurate and credible account. And indeed Lewis's account was not published until 1814. The Lewis and Clark Expedition, 147. Also included is a second prospectus "Detached from this work," regarding a larger format map to be produced, however, like the third volume regarding scientific discoveries, this map never garnered enough subscribers to make it to print. Other news items of significance are also in these issues of the Intelligencer. The March 18 issues includes a proclamation by Robert Williams, governor of the Mississippi territory, calling for the apprehension of Aaron Burr, who had failed to appear before the Supreme Court of the territory. The March 20 issue includes commentary on the Burr case and several acts of Congress, signed into law by President Jefferson. The March 23 issue includes commentary on the Jefferson administration construction of gunboats as a viable means of naval defense. And the March 25 issue includes the announcement of the Embargo Act, signed by President Jefferson and Secretary of State James Madison. The Jefferson administration hope to end depredations on American commerce by the warring powers of Europe by closing American ports, an ultimately unsuccessful effort. Each issue with ink inscription, "The Chronicle," at top of masthead (presumably, The Chronicle was a subscriber) possibly to the Boston newspaper of that name. Ink annotations mark various articles throughout all issues, possibly for inclusion in The Chronicle. (It was the common practice at the time for newspapers to reprint from each others' newspapers).
