Free of known marginalia. Please see photos. Quite scarce! Founded in 1801 and edited by Joseph Dennie, the weekly *Port Folio* quickly became the most important magazine devoted to literature and politics in the United States. Dennie and his distinguished circle of mostly pro-Federalist contributors were prized for their "liveliness, urbanity, and wit," and frequent attacks upon the Republicans. Dennie issued this prospectus to announce that his magazine would be changed from a weekly to a monthly in 1809: "On the first vernal month, a Phoenix Port Folio rises from the ashes of its predecessor." Engravings of Chain Bridge at Fall of Schuylkill, an 1808 iron-chain suspension bridge built across the Schuylkill River. Elgin Botanic Garden, which was the first botanical garden in the United States, established in 1801 by New York physician David Horace. In the 1920 s, it became the site of Rockefeller Center.
