Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Philadelphia Assemblies At an Assembly some twenty years ago in the Foyer of the Academy of Music, it occurred to the writer that it would be interesting to collect what available material there might be in existence that would cast light upon those balls in the days when Pennsylvania was still a colony. The quest for facts resulted in revealing more manuscript information than had been hoped for. Gradually, year by year, new items of information turned up or were communicated now by one friend, now by another. The writer read a short paper on April 18th, 1902, before the American Philosophical Society upon the First Assembly Account Book, kept by John Swift in 1748-49. Subsequently, in 1906, he wrote briefly about the Assemblies in the Pennsylvania Magazine, and again on October 21st, 1914 in a paper read at the annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society of Worcester, Massachusetts, he had something to say about the Assembly Balls in the past.
