Note 2 — NO. I.—SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1807.

David Longworth, an eccentric bookseller, had filled a large apartment with the valuable engravings of “Boydell’s Shakespeare Gallery,” magnificently framed, and had nearly obscured the front of his house with a huge sign—a colossal painting in chiaroscuro, of the crowning of Shakespeare. Longworth had an extraordinary propensity to publish elegant works, to the great gratification of persons of taste, and the no small diminution of his own slender fortune. He alludes ironically to this circumstance in the present notice.—Paris Ed. Longworth’s store was in Park Row, near the Park Theatre. He was the dramatic publisher of New York in his day, and long issued the City Directory.
