SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, NY, 1846 The photo shows the very ornate masthead of this famous journal that provided the latest scientific news and essays, related information, patents, and other subjects. During its first year of publication it was a folio-size newspaper with each issue featuring a front page engraving of "New Inventions, Scientific Principles, and Curiosities". Occasional foxing, otherwise good. A desirable item and nice for display.

This scientific journal, which started in 1845 and still publishes today more than 160 years later, gave very little coverage to the Civil War. This is not surprising given that its focus was on the latest scientific inventions of the day. <br />
<br />
However the front page of this issue features a very nice & somewhat large map headed: "Map Of the Seat Of War" (see photos) with the balance of the front page taken up with a detailed article titled: "THE WAR--The Struggle For the Capital". As such, this is a great issue for display given its graphic appeal. There is war-related text within as another pg. has: "Practical Warfare" with a print showing a soldier shooting. <br />
<br />
Also: "Hotchkiss's Rifled Cannon Ball": "Learning to Shoot" "Careful Loading of Rifles" & on the back page: "Explosive Rifle Bullets" with 2 prints. Complete in 16 pages, some scattered foxing, never bound nor trimmed, small library stamp at the very top of pg. 1.

<strong>* Battle of Gettysburg <br />

<br />
Although not expected in this scientific journal, page 3 does contain a report mentioning the battle of Gettysburg although lacking the detail expected in a daily newspaper (see photos). <br />
<br />
Under the heading: "Major-General George Gordon Meade", a portion of the report includes: <em>"...Meade...put it in rapid motion towards Gettysburgh, Pennsylvania, at which place the rebels under General Lee were in large force, 'flushed with the pride of successful invasion'. In a series of brilliant...battles...and continuing three days, desperate charges were repeatedly made by the enemy...the brave army of the Potomac withstand the shock until the rebels were everywhere repulsed & commenced a rapid retreat...'</em> with more. <br />
<br />
But the balance of the article is a biography of Meade's military career, taking over a full column.<br />
<br />
The balance of this 16 page issue is taken up with the latest scientific improvements and developments with some illustrations. Never bound nor trimmed with wide margins, small library stamp in the masthead, small hole in the front leaf not affecting the Gettysburg report.

<br /><br />Historical Background: Scientific American is a popular science magazine, published (first weekly and later monthly) since August 28, 1845, making it the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. It brings articles about new and innovative research to the amateur and lay audience.
<br /><br />Scientific American (informally abbreviated to "SciAm") roughly has a monthly circulation of 555,000 US and 90,000 international as of December 2005. Though a well-respected magazine, it is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the sense of Nature; rather, it is a forum where scientific theories and discoveries are explained to a wider audience. In the past this target audience was other scientists in unrelated fields, but it is now educated general readers interested in science issues. The magazine American Scientist covers similar ground, but at a level more suitable for the professional science audience in much the same way Scientific American used to.
<br /><br />The magazine was founded by Rufus Porter as a single-page newsletter, and throughout its early years Scientific American put much emphasis on reports of what was going on at the US patent office. It reported on a broad range of inventions that includes perpetual motion machines, an 1849 device for buoying vessels by Abraham Lincoln, and the universal joint which now finds place in nearly every automobile manufactured. Current issues feature a "this date in history" section, featuring an article originally published 50, 100, and 150 years ago where often-humorous, un-scientific, or otherwise noteworthy gems of science history are featured.
<br /><br />Porter sold the newsletter in 1846 to Alfred Ely Beach and Orson Desaix Munn, and until 1948 it remained owned by Munn & Company. Under the second Orson D. Munn, grandson of the first, it had evolved into something of a "workbench" publication, similar to the 20th century incarnation of Popular Science. In the years after World War II, the magazine was dying. Three partners who were planning on starting a new popular science magazine, to be called The Sciences, instead purchased the assets of the old Scientific American and put its name on the designs they had created for their new magazine. Thus the partners -- publisher Gerard Piel, editor Dennis Flanagan, and general manager Donald H. Miller, Jr. -- created essentially a new magazine, the Scientific American magazine of the second half of the twentieth century. Miller retired in 1979, Flanagan by 1984 when Gerard Piel's son Jonathan became president and editor; circulation had grown fifteen-fold since 1948. In 1986 it was sold to the Holtzbrinck group of Germany, who have owned it since. Donald Miller died in December, 1998, Gerard Piel in September 2004 and Dennis Flanagan in January 2005. John Rennie is the current editor-in-chief.

<strong>
<br />
</strong>
</div>
<div>This 16 page issue is in nice condition and contains illustrations, accompanied by text, of the latest inventions of the day including: "<strong>Proposed Suspension Bridge Across the East River, New York</strong>.", "Glenn's Patent Device For the Propulsion of Land Vehicles...", "Pierces Device for Fastening Umbrella Coverings", "Polley's Patent Mole Trap", and "Hoyt's patent Match Box",.
<br /><br />Historical Background: Scientific American is a popular science magazine, published (first weekly and later monthly) since August 28, 1845, making it the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. It brings articles about new and innovative research to the amateur and lay audience.
<br /><br />Scientific American (informally abbreviated to "SciAm") roughly has a monthly circulation of 555,000 US and 90,000 international as of December 2005. Though a well-respected magazine, it is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the sense of Nature; rather, it is a forum where scientific theories and discoveries are explained to a wider audience. In the past this target audience was other scientists in unrelated fields, but it is now educated general readers interested in science issues. The magazine American Scientist covers similar ground, but at a level more suitable for the professional science audience in much the same way Scientific American used to.
<br /><br />The magazine was founded by Rufus Porter as a single-page newsletter, and throughout its early years Scientific American put much emphasis on reports of what was going on at the US patent office. It reported on a broad range of inventions that includes perpetual motion machines, an 1849 device for buoying vessels by Abraham Lincoln, and the universal joint which now finds place in nearly every automobile manufactured. Current issues feature a "this date in history" section, featuring an article originally published 50, 100, and 150 years ago where often-humorous, un-scientific, or otherwise noteworthy gems of science history are featured.
<br /><br />Porter sold the newsletter in 1846 to Alfred Ely Beach and Orson Desaix Munn, and until 1948 it remained owned by Munn & Company. Under the second Orson D. Munn, grandson of the first, it had evolved into something of a "workbench" publication, similar to the 20th century incarnation of Popular Science. In the years after World War II, the magazine was dying. Three partners who were planning on starting a new popular science magazine, to be called The Sciences, instead purchased the assets of the old Scientific American and put its name on the designs they had created for their new magazine. Thus the partners -- publisher Gerard Piel, editor Dennis Flanagan, and general manager Donald H. Miller, Jr. -- created essentially a new magazine, the Scientific American magazine of the second half of the twentieth century. Miller retired in 1979, Flanagan by 1984 when Gerard Piel's son Jonathan became president and editor; circulation had grown fifteen-fold since 1948. In 1986 it was sold to the Holtzbrinck group of Germany, who have owned it since. Donald Miller died in December, 1998, Gerard Piel in September 2004 and Dennis Flanagan in January 2005. John Rennie is the current editor-in-chief.
