GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, October, 1754   * The Albany Congress for the Union of America's Colonies Inside under America is a July 29 report from New York about the famous Albany Congress stating that on the 16 instant the lieutenant-governor arrived from Albany ...having settled matters to the entire satisfaction of all the nations of Indians that attended the congress at that place. Says commissioners from Philadelphia, Maryland and Virginia arrived the next and that:...at the...congress, the commissioners from ...several governments were unanimously of opinion, that an union of the colonies was absolutely necessary; and a plan of union was...drawn up by the...commissioners...to be laid before their respective constituents. This plan for a union of all the American English colonies, better known as the Plan of The Union, was proposed by Benjamin Franklin, one of the delegates at the Congress. The union would consist of a president general and would include a grand council with legislative powers elected by the individual colonial assemblies. The plan was later rejected by the colonial assemblies. Octavo-size, 44 pages, full title/index page, has an engraving of St. Johns Gate in the masthead. source: wikipedia: The Albany Congress was a meeting of representatives of seven of the British North American colonies in 1754 (specifically, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island). Representatives met daily at Albany, New York from June 19 to July 11 to discuss better relations with the Indian tribes and common defensive measures against the French. They did conclude a treaty with the tribes represented, but the treaty failed to secure peace with all the Native American tribes during the French and Indian War. The Congress is notable for producing Benjamin Franklin's Albany Plan of Union, an early attempt to form a union of the colonies. Part of the Plan was used in writing the Articles of Confederation, which kept the States together from 1781 until the Constitution.

There is also a report reading in part: "The poor men who suffered at the meadows with colonel Washington recommend to your favour as they were disabled in the service of their country...".  This is very early & rather rare mention of George Washington, when he was just 23 years old. The very first article in this magazine: "Account of the British Settlements in N. America" which is continued from a previous issue related to this map & takes over 3 1/2 pgs. Another page has an article: "Observations on the Map of America in the Present Magazine" Among other items of interest in this magazine are: * A Message from his Excellency Arthur Dobbs, Esq., Governor of North Carolina, to the General Assembly held at Newburn... [New Bern]" * "A Particular Account of the Death of Mr.. Professor Richmann...who was Killed Whilst he was Making an Electrical Experiment" which also includes two illustrations (see) * "Journal of Public Transactions in America" * An article which begins: "In the instruction given by Somerset County in Virginia to the representatives in the assembly, is the following passage..." * Full back page is a chart of: "Each Day's Price of Stocks in July, 1755" You get the complete 46 page issue measuring 5 by 8 1/4 inches, with full title/index page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate.

THE NEW-YORK MERCURY, May 31, 1756  Newspapers from colonial America dated before the 1760's are becoming extremely rare. This is a very nice issue from the midst of the French & Indian War with pages 2 and 3 having some nice war-related content, most of which can be seen in the photos as it is too much to describe here. The front page has an item noting: "...the utmost indignation upon so unjust & daring an attempt as that of invading these kingdoms in revenge for the generous & steady conduct His Majesty has held in maintaining the just rights & possessions of His Crown & subjects in North America, against the unprovoked aggressions & hostilities originally commenced on the part of France...". The war-related content on pages 2 & 3 is more detailed, as can be seen in the photos. Complete in 4 pages, never-trimmed margins, and in nice condition. Not only a rare and early title from America, but with good French & Indian War content as well.

Webb was sent to reinforce the place & found the fort blown up & found "...about 500 dead bodies scattered in & about the place...".   Not a lengthy report yet historically important (see).  Also an article: "Curious Jewish Instrument from the Hebrew" which takes nearly half a page & is signed: Aaron, the so of Rabby Haim.

GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, England, March, 1757  * 18th century Map of the world from the North Pole  * Pre revolutionary war era  A very nice War magazine from during the French & Indian War from the "mother country" with a wide range of varied content including news of the day, political reports, literary items, and other unusual tidbits. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907. The prime feature of this issue is a large foldout map titled: "A Physical Planisphere wherein are represented all the known Lands & seas in the Great Chains of Mountains which traverse the Globe from the North Pole..."  (see photos). It is a map of the world from the perspective of the North Pole. Typically this map is missing from the issue due to its desirability so we are pleased to be able to offer it along with the issue. It folds out to measures 11 1/2 by 13 inches. This map is defective as  the reverse has numerous old tape mends which causes some wrinkling but fortunately not causing any staining to bleed through to the front.. Close-trimmed to the bottom half of the right margin causes loss to a portion of the border We have the map held separate from the issue in its own acid-free protector. Near the back is a report headed: "America" with a report from Charleston which tells of troubles with the Indians (see). Other articles of interest within this issue include: "Trial of the late Admiral Byng..." "Meteorological Journal" and "New Hypothesis of the Earth's configuration under the Sea" Complete in 48 pages, measures 5 by 8 inches with a full title/index page which includes an engraving of St. John's Gate. Unlike the map, the magazine is in very nice condition.

THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, Philadelphia, PA, June 16, 1757  * The famous Benjamin Franklin newspaper  * Chance to buy at a minimal price  A quite early colonial newspaper published by none other than the world famous Benjamin Franklin, although the "advertising leaf" which appeared with this issue, and upon which was the imprint of "B. Franklin", is not here as it was typically not bound with the issue since it carried only ads. On page 2 under "Williamsburg" is a report about a conference between an Agent of Indian Affairs and the leaders of the Catawba Indian nation. Includes a speech made by "King Heigler", the leader of the Catawbas, and the reply of the Indian Agent. Also has a report about a reward given for the scalps of two Indian boys. Page 3 has several notices for military deserters, plus ad offering a reward for a runaway "...Negro Man, named Christmas...". Has an ornate engraving in the masthead. Trimmed a bit uneven at the top, some lite foxing. A great opportunity for a newspaper owned and printed by Benjamin Franklin without the much higher price commanded by issues with the imprint. Note: A photocopy of the page from the book "Benjamin Franklin's Philadelphia Printing" is included, verifying this issue was printed by Ben Franklin.

THE LONDON MAGAZINE, England, September, 1757  * Saxony Germany & Cadiz Spain foldout maps * French and Indian War era original This early magazine is formatted almost identical to the more popular "Gentleman's Magazine" but is considerably more rare today. Perhaps the prime features of this issue are the two nice maps. One is a foldout titled: "A Map of the Northern Part of UPPER SAXONY" which includes from present-day Berlin north to the Baltic Sea and east to portions of present-day Poland (see). This map measures 8 1/2 by 10 1/2 inches, has some off-setting from being folded within itself for over 150 years but is otherwise quite nice. The other is a full page: "Plan of the Bay and Roads of CADIZ..." which is a port city in Southwestern Spain (see). There is a related article on the city as well. Near the back is the "Monthly Chronologer" which has a report on the French & Indian War, being an: "Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman at Fort William Henry, to his "Friend at New York, July 26, 1757" which relates an ill-fated attempt upon Ticonderoga (see), taking over half the page. Complete in 48 pages with a full title/contents page which has a nice engraving of the London skyline (see).  Measures 5 1/4 by 8 1/2 inches, great condition.

THE DAILY ADVERTISER, London, 1758 As the title might suggest the emphasis was on advertisements with a tremendous number found within this complete, four page issue. This is a nice issue from during the period of the French & Indian War in America although I do not find any such content in this issue. There is various current news on the front page. Folio-size, partial red-inked tax stamp on the front page, generally nice condition. The photo below is "generic" but the issue you receive will have the same look and be from 1758.

GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, December, 1758   A very nice magazine from during the French & Indian War from the "mother country" with a wide range of varied content including news of the day, political reports, literary items, and other unusual tidbits. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907. One article: "Claims of the Dutch Further Stated" includes some reports concerning the situation in America, a portion noting: "...In America the present war has been little more than a continuation of the last..." (see). "Antient Custom of Shepherds" considers Jewish shepherds (see for portions).   But the prime features of this issue would be the two very nice foldout maps, one titled: "A Map of the Country Round Dresden, with the Towns & Fortresses which the Several Armies have occupied during the Campaign." in present-day Germany (see) which shows much detail. This map measures 8 1/2 by 10 1/4 inches & is in great condition. The other map is: "A Complete Chart of the Coast of France..." of the same size as the other (see). Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" which has various news events of the day. Included is a report noting: "Advices from America bring an account of a repulse, which the enemy met with, in an attack which they made upon the advanced guard of Gen. Forbes at Loyal Hanning, in the road to Fort du Quesne...happy omen of an entire conquest of the place, which is earnestly wished..." with just a bit more (see). Complete in 46 pages, measures 5 by 8 1/2 inches with a full title/index page which includes an engraving of St. John's Gate. Very nice, clean condition.

THE EDINBURGH EVENING COURANT, Scotland, 1759 A nice Scottish newspaper from this significant year during the French & Indian War, however this issues does not have any noteworthy content relating to the war. But much news of the day, mostly from Europe, and many ads as well. Relatively nice condition with some light browning or dirtiness, small folio-size measuring about 9 1/2 by 14 1/2 inches & complete in 4 pages. The photo below is "generic" however the issue you receive will have a similar look and will be dated 1759.

<div>THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, January, 1759 * 18th century detailed map of Germany A very nice French & Indian War era magazine from the "mother country" with a wide range of varied content including news of the day, political reports, literary items, and other unusual tidbits. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907. Near the back is nearly a full page of reports concerning the French & Indian War, including a: "Letter from Oneida Carrying Place" which begins: "The grand sachem of the Oneida Indians was with us at the taking of Frontignac; he was one of the most Christian Indians I ever saw, constantly at prayers...before he got half a mile from our encampment he was shot dead..." plus a "Letter from New Jersey" with some text re. the Indians, plus a letter from "Pittsburgh (formerly Fort du Quesne), Nov. 28" includes: "The day is arrived that has at last fixed us on the banks of the Ohio! the finest & most fertile country of America, lying in the happiest climate in the universe..." with more. Also a letter from "New York, Nov. 20" Plus another report being a letter from General Forbes dated from Fort DuQuesne (see photos). Perhaps the best portion of the issue is the large foldout map titled: "A Compleat Map of Germany Comprehending in one View the Different Seats of the Present War. 1759" with some incredible detail. The map shows from the "German Ocean" with a portion of England, to a portion of Denmark, the Baltic Sea, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia, the Gulf of Venice, Geneva, and so much more in between. Very detailed with hundreds of towns and rivers noted. The map measures about 12 by 14 in. from edge to edge. A curious article is headed: "Descrip. of a rare American  Quadrupede" which is very descriptive, taking almost an entire pg. (see photos for portions). What animal is this? One of the pages contains an engraving of an ancient relic (see) Among other articles in this issue as noted in the table of Contents are: "Description of the Famous Pantheon at Rome" "Absurdity of Imprisoning for Debt" "Account of a Most Magnificent Festival celebrated in China" and much more. Both the issue & the map are in great condition. The issue includes 48 pgs. with full title/index page & measures about 5 by 8 in.</div>

THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, April, 1759  (w/ 2 maps and shells plate) * Death of composer George Frederick Handel * George Washington in the French & Indian War * Two early foldout maps Near the back is an inconspicuous yet quite significant report on the death of famed composer George Frederick Handel, reading: "Geo. Fred. Handel, Esq; a great musician. He was born in Germany in 1685, and had been in England 50 years."  This report is supplemented by a report on a different page of the funeral which reads: "Friday, 20th" "The remains of the late Mr. Handel were deposited at the foot of the Duke of Argyll's monument in Westminster Abbey; the bishop prebends, and the whole choir attended, to pay the last honours due to his memory; and it is computed there were not fewer than 3000 persons present on this occasion."  Another article titled: "A Letter from an Officer who Attended Brigadier Gen. Forbes in his March from Philadelphia to Fort Duquesne" takes 2 1/2 pages and includes a very early (and rare) mention of "Col. Washington" (see photos) when George Washington was just 27 years old. This issue also includes two foldout maps titled: "The Roads of Toulon with the Adjacent Country" and "A Map of the Seat of War on the Rhine & parts adjacent in Germany, 1759" (see photos).  Complete in 46 pgs., measures about 5 by 8 in., slight bit of foxing, very nice condition.

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, April 17, 1759  * Death of Handel (music composer)  * Very early George Washington  * Pre Revolutionary War era  The front page has a "musically significant" report reading: "By the death of Mr. Handel, who died at his house in Brook Street, Grosvenor-Square, on Saturday last (and not before) a considerable pension reverts to the crown. We hear he will be buried in the burial-ground at the Foundling Hospital near to Capt. Coram."
