John Fanning Watson (1779-1860) was cashier of the Bank of Germantown and secretary/treasurer of the Germantown and Norristown Railroad. He had a lifelong interest in the history of Philadelphia and Germantown, publishing the single volume first edition of the Annals in 1830, which he revised and republished in two volumes in 1842 and 1856. Willis P. Hazzard updated the work in 1879, adding the third volume. This set is a reprint of that edition. Some loose pages and staining in volume one.
