''The Polyanthos'' (December 1805 – September 1814) was a monthly literary magazine published in Boston, Massachusetts, by Joseph Tinker Buckingham. Contributors of essays, biographical articles and other literature included Wilkes Allen, Rev. John Eliot (of New North Church), John Lathrop, Jr., Samuel Louder, John Lovering, John Randall, Solomon Stoddard, Royall Tyler, Samuel A. Wells, and Rufus Wyman. Buckingham also wrote theatre reviews in each issue.〔In his memoirs, Buckingham noted how the actor "Mr. Poe — the father of ... Edgar A. Poe, — took offence at a remark on his wife's acting, and called at my house to 'chastise my impertinence,' but went away without effecting his purpose. Both he and his wife were performers of considerable merit, but somewhat vain of their personal accomplishments." Cf. Buckingham. 1852; p.57.〕 Most issues featured an engraving, often a portrait by Samuel Harris (ca.1784-1810)〔Other engravings appeared by Henry Williams, Edwin (of Philadelphia) and Snyder (of New York). Cf. Buckingham. 1852; p.55-56.〕 or a song. The magazine ceased in 1814 "for the ungrateful or undiscerning public, — notwithstanding the expressed flattery of their taste and confidence in their liberality, — suffered it to wither and die."〔 ==Images== ;Published in ''Polyanthos'' Image:1805 Polyanthos no1.png|''Polyanthos'' no.1, December 1805; published by J.T.
