Breton, from 1830 edition of Annals of Philadelphia. Watson hired a British immigrant, William L. Breton, to illustrate the 1830 Annals. Based on Watson's own sketches, Breton's lithographed illustrations included the first published images of George Washington's President's House (demolished two years later), of the State House Tavern (opposite Independence Hall), and of a slave auction at the London Coffee House. Later editions of the Annals copied these lithographs as woodcuts, and then engravings. [mehr]

In That Curious Self-Description Which Linnaeus Comprised In A Single Page, Written With The Precision Of A Naturalist, That Great Man Discovered That His Constitution Was Liable To Be Afflicted With Jealousy.

Of Literary Characters, And Of The Lovers Of Literature And Art. Diffused Over Enlightened Europe, An Order Of Men Has Arisen, Who, Uninfluenced By The Interests Or The Passions Which Give An Impulse To The Other Classes Of Society, Are Connected By The Secret Links Of Congenial Pursuits, And, Insensibly To Themselves, Are Combining In The Same Common Labours, And Participating In The Same Divided Glory. In The Metropolitan Cities Of Europe The Same Authors Are Now Read, And The Same Opinions Become Established: The Englishman Is Familiar With Machiavel And Montesquieu; The Italian And The Frenchman With Bacon And Locke; And The Same Smiles And Tears Are Awakened On The Banks Of The Thames, Of The Seine, Or Of The Guadalquivir, By Shakspeare, Moliere, And Cervantes-- Contemporains De Tous Les Hommes, Et Citoyens De Tous Les Lieux.

There Goes Many A Ship To Sea, With Many Hundred Souls In One Ship, Whose Weal And Woe Is Common, And Is A True Picture Of A Commonwealth, Or A Human Combination Or Society. It Hath Fallen Out, Sometimes, That Both Papists And Protestants, Jews And Turks, May Be Embarked Into One Ship. Upon Which Supposal, I Affirm That All The Liberty Of Conscience, That Ever I Pleaded For, Turns Upon These Two Hinges; That None Of The Papists, Protestants, Jews, Or Turks, Be Forced To Come To The Ship'S Prayers, Nor Compelled From Their Own Particular Prayers Or Worship, If They Practice Any.... If Any Of The Seamen Refuse To Perform Their Service, Or Passengers To Pay Their Freight; If Any Refuse To Help, In Person Or Purse, Towards The Common Charges Or Defence; If Any Refuse To Obey The Common Laws Or Orders Of The Ship Concerning Their Common Peace Or Preservation; If Any Shall Mutiny And Rise Up Against Their Commanders And Officers; If Any Should Preach Or Write, That There Ought To Be No Commanders Nor Officers, Because All Are Equal In Christ, Therefore No Masters Nor Officers, No Laws, Nor Orders, No Corrections Nor Punishments,--I Say I Never Denied But In Such Cases, Whatever Is Pretended, The Commander Or Commanders May Judge, Resist, Compel, And Punish Such Transgressors, According To Their Deserts And Merits.
