Note 848 — Chapter XII · (continued 2)

[This book has passed through several editions,—1830, with lithographic illustrations; 1844, 1850, 1857, and 1868, with woodcuts. A tribute to Mr. Watson (who was born June 13, 1779, and died Dec. 23, 1861), by Charles Deane, is in Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., v. 207; and Benjamin Dorr published A Memoir of John Fanning Watson, Philadelphia, 1861, with a portrait. Mr. Willis P. Hazard’s Annals of Philadelphia, 1879, supplements Mr. Watson’s book. The local antiquarian interest will be abundantly satisfied with Mr. Townsend Ward’s papers on the old landmarks of the town, which have appeared in the Pennsylvania Magazine of History, though much in them necessarily fails of association with the early years with which we are dealing. This is likewise true of Thompson Westcott’s Historic Buildings of Philadelphia, 1877; cf. the papers on old Philadelphia in Harper’s Monthly, 1876; cf. An Explanation of the Map of the City and Liberties of Philadelphia. By John Reed. Philadelphia, 1794 and 1846.—Ed.]
