Cramer’s publications covered a wide range. In 1808 _The Lawyer_, by George Watterson, appeared, which was imbued with the current prejudice against lawyers, and presented a sorry spectacle of the legal profession. The same year, a map of Pittsburgh was published, which, if in existence to-day, would be of great interest. One of his most valuable contributions to the literature of travel, was _Sketches of a Tour to the Western Country in 1807–1809_, by F. Cuming, published in 1810. It contained according to Reuben Gold Thwaites,[300] a “picture of American life in the West at the beginning of the nineteenth century that for clear-cut outlines and fidelity of presentation has the effect of a series of photographic representations.” Another work of value was _Views of Louisiana_, by Judge Henry M. Brackenridge, published in 1814. Cramer had met Brackenridge in New Orleans, in December, 1811, while on one of his visits to that city, and arranged with him there for the publication.[301] In 1813, _The Poetical Works of Oliver Goldsmith_ were brought out. One of the most important ventures of Cramer’s entire publishing experience, the fruition of which he did not live to see, was _The Western Gleaner or Repository for Arts, Sciences, and Literature_. It was a monthly magazine of sixty-four pages. The first number appeared in December, 1813, four months after Cramer’s death. Compared with magazines of the present time, it was not of the highest order of literary merit. In its day, however, it ranked with the best magazines published. The excellent literary taste of the editor also appears from an incident which occurred during the early life of the magazine. _The Pittsburgh Gazette_ published a communication from a disappointed aspirant for literary fame, signing himself “Recluse,” whose poem in fourteen stanzas entitled “The Two Roses,” had been declined by the _Western Gleaner_. “Recluse” referred sarcastically to the “uncommonly profound and very discerning editor of the _Western Gleaner_.” That the editor of the _Western Gleaner_ was more “discerning” than the editor of the _Pittsburgh Gazette_, which published “Recluse’s” effort, along with his letter, is evident from a perusal of the poem. The first stanza, which is also the best, reads: “The sweetest rose that ever bloomed, Was one that, with insidious sip, Beneath Eliza’s smiles presumed, To pilfer fragrance from her lip.”[302] The same persistency which procured the publication of “The Two Roses” in the _Pittsburgh Gazette_, enabled “Recluse” a few years later to find a publisher for a volume of his poetry, in which “The Two Roses” was one of the gems.[303] In one of the numbers of the magazine Judge Hugh Henry Brackenridge contributed a poem, descriptive of his feelings on revisiting Pittsburgh, called “On a Circuit at This Place.”
