, E. C. Holland, Paulding and Lord Byron, and wrote for it
biographies of Lawrence, Burrows, Perry and Porter.[20]

[20] It is not a little remarkable that the list of Washington Irving's
contributions to the _Analectic Magazine_ should have come to me in an
Athenian newspaper.

Paulding and Verplanck wrote for the magazine, signing their articles
"P." and "V."

William Darlington (1782-1863), Pennsylvanian, after whom was named the
Darlingtonica California (a species of pitcher-plant), went to India as
ship's surgeon in 1806, and published in the _Analectic Magazine_ a
sketch of his voyage called "Letters from Calcutta."

The _Analectic_ contains a number of valuable portraits. The first
lithograph ever made in America is in this magazine for July 1819. It
represents a woodland scene--a flowing stream and a single house upon
the bank. It was made by Bass Otis, who followed the suggestions of
Judge Cooper and Dr. Brown, of Alabama. The drawing was made upon a
stone from Munich, presented to the American Philosophical Society by
Mr. Thomas Dobson, of Philadelphia. The _Analectic Magazine_ was finally
converted into the _Literary Gazette_ and died one year later (December,
1821).[21]

[21] "I observe," said a gentleman at the Athenaeum, "that the form of
the _Analectic Magazine_ was changed on the first of this month." "No,"
replied his friend, "it has been _weakly_ for some time past."

WITTY AND SATIRICAL MAGAZINES.

The _Tickler_ was edited by George Helmbold, and was first issued,
September 16, 1807, under the pen-name of "Toby Scratch 'Em." It had for
its motto:

"Curst be the verse, how well soe'er it flow,
That tends to make one worthy man my foe,
Give virtue scandal, innocence a fear,
Or from the soft-eyed virgin steal a tear."--_Pope._

It was to be issued every Wednesday morning, at the price of four
dollars per annum, from 131 South Front Street. The first volume of
fifty-two numbers was not completed until February 8, 1809. Helmbold
enlisted in the army and was promoted to a lieutenancy at Lundy's Lane.
After the war he kept the Minerva Tavern at Sixth and Sansom Streets. He
