Massachusetts Magazine, August 1791--Printed by Isaiah Thomas & Ebenezer Andrews--Includes Franklin on Double Spectacles--Missing Engraving. The Massachusetts Magazine; or, Monthly Museum of Knowledge and Rational Entertainment. Volume III, Number 8. Boston: Printed by Isaiah Thomas and Ebenezer Andrews, August 1791. Unbound. Very Good condition. Missing the engraving of the Boston State House. This scarce original issue of The Massachusetts Magazine features a wide range of early American content, including a noteworthy excerpt from a letter by Dr. Benjamin Franklin, in which he describes his invention of double spectacles an early reference to bifocals. The text captures Franklin's innovative spirit and reflects the broader intellectual culture of late 18th-century Boston. Published by famed American printer Isaiah Thomas, the magazine was a cornerstone of Enlightenment-era publishing in the newly formed United States. While this copy lacks the engraved plate of the Boston State House (often removed), it remains a valuable piece of early American print history. Pages are complete and intact, with light toning consistent with age. Edges are untrimmed; some mild wear and scattered foxing. Suitable for binding or archival preservation. An excellent copy for collectors of early American periodicals, Frankliniana, or Revolutionary-era publications.
