Description: This is a rare issue of the publication "The Analectic Magazine and Naval Chronicle" from April, 1816. This issue features an early (possibly the 1st) published engraving of the famous American explorer MERIWETHER LEWIS (of "Lewis and Clark" fame). In addition to the engraving, the issue also includes a chapter titled "Notice of Captain M. Lewis" - from the Notice: "The portrait of captain Lewis, given in the present number, is taken from a drawing of that officer belonging to his fellow traveller, governor Clark, who considers it an excellent likeness, and prizes it highly. The gentleman who lent it to us remained here but a short time, and was obliged to take it with him: to which circumstance it is owing that our engraving from it is not executed in so good a style as we could have wished. But that engraving is a faithful copy of the original, which is believed to the the only likeness of captain Lewis now extant. The ornaments worn by him when in the costume of an Indian warrior, (as represented in the picture) are preserved in the Philadelphia museum." Other contents include "On the Causes of the Depopulation of the American Indians," "Synopsis of Naval Actions," "Life of James A. Bayard," "Account of the Paper War between the Crews of the Essex, the Phoebe, and the Cherub, in the Bay of Valparaiso," poetry, and more...please see the photos for the complete list.
