" It wasestablished, March 20, 1817, by George Helmbold, the first editor of the_Tickler_ and late of the United States Army. The second volume had a vignette of a sportsman shooting a bird, withthe motto: "Whene'er we court the tuneful nine, Or plainer prose suits our design, Then fools may sneer and critics frown At every corner of the town, -- Condemn our paper or commend; One aim is ours, our chiefest end: With well-poised gun and surest eyes To shoot at Folly as it flies. " Helmbold died i...n Philadelphia, December 28, 1821. The magazine, afterpassing through several hands, finally became the property of L. P.

" At this time it was edited by"Simon Spunkey, Esq. , duly commissioned and sworn regulator, weigh-master and Inspector General.
