<div>GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, March, 1754  The prime feature of this issue is the nice fold-out map (see photo) titled: "<strong>A General Map of the Discoveries Of Admiral De Fonte & others, By M. De l' Isle". </strong>There is also a detailed article concerning this map titled: "Some Account of a Chart lately published by M. de l Isle, with the different Conjectures and Opinions it has produced; from a Tract called, A Letter from a Russian Sea Officer to a Person of Distinction at Petersborough, &c." The article begins: <em>"All Attempts to discover an outlet from Hudson's Bay into the South sea having been ineffectual, and the space between Japan and California, an extent of more than 1200 leagues, being totally unknown, the late Czar Peter the great, appointed one Beerings to attempt the discovery..."</em> with much more. Lengthy and detailed, the article discusses the routes of three explorers. The map shows the routes of these men with familiar markings including Siberia, Kamchatka, California and Hudson's Bay. The Asian part of the map is much more defined, while the area of Alaska is less accurate simply because much of it was unexplored. Interesting to see how this vast region was perceived during the 18th century. Map measures 10 3/4 by 8 1/4 inches with the margins. <br /> Also included is a large foldout plate: "View of the Arch or Grand Entrance to the Temple of the Sun as now Standing among the Ruins at Plamyra" (see). <br /> Octavo-size, 44 pages, with a full title/index page. Has an engraving of St. John's Gate in the masthead. Archival mend to a tear in unrelated content, otherwise in very good condition.</div>

There is a related article on the city as well. <br /> 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. <br /> 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 GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, July, 1768  A very nice pre-Revolutionary War 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.<br /> <br /> Page 2 has "Interesting Advices from America" with a Boston report beginning: <em>"Last Friday fe'nnight the officers of the customers made a seizure of a sloop belonging to John Hancock..."</em> with more (see photos), followed by other reports of troubles in America.<br /> On an inside page is an article titled: "Suprizing Properties of Numbers placed in Dr. Franklin's Magic Square of Squares" which is a fascinating article describing Benjamin Franklin's amazing numerical puzzle. There is also a <strong>full page engraving </strong>of this "Magic Square of Squares" (see photos). More typically this plate is missing from the issue, but present here.<br /> <br /> Among various reports under the "Historical Chronicle" is an item noting: <em>"Letters from Fort Pitt in America are full of joy on the success of the late congress held there for settling annually all difference with the Indian tribes in that quarter...the famous major Rogers has turned traitor to his country & is now in irons for a conspiracy in order to surprise several fortresses, to kill the commandants, plunder the garrisons,& desert to the enemy."</em> (see). <br /> <br /> Among other articles in this issue are:<br /> <em>*  "Observations on Insects Affecting Fruit Trees"<br /> *  "Hint for the Institution of Downing College"<br /> *  "The Gigantic Stature of the Patagonians Confirmed"<br /> *  "French Claims on Newfoundland"</em><br /> <br /> This is a complete issue, full title/index page which features an engraving of St. John's Gate, 46 pages, in very nice, clean condition, and measuring about 5 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches. <br /> This issue is lacking the other plate called for.<br /> Rarely are Ben Franklin related prints found in 18th century magazines.

THE LADY'S MAGAZINE SUPPLEMENT for 1774, London  One of the less common 18th century magazine, with content--as the title would suggest--themed more on womanly concerns.  <br /> Within the issue is a very nice full page plate titled: <strong>"A View of Liverpool"</strong> showing the skyline of the city with the Mersey river and various ships in the foreground. There is also much text on the city with subheads: "Leverpool (sic)" "Situation, Climate, Soil" "The River Mersey". Typically such city view plates have been removed but this one is intact. <br /> Full title/index age, some scattered browning & foxing, generally in very nice condition.

THE CRISIS newspaper from London, dated May 20, 1775  In my 30+ years of dealing in rare newspapers I have only once had the great fortune to encounter issues of this very rare title. This extraordinary paper (see the photos below) is one of the most bitter political sheets to be found, issued in London both in defense of American liberty and their cause for independence, as well as to attack the policies of the King of England. One scholar noted: <span style="font-style: italic;"> "This title, which is of great rarity, contains a remarkable collection of papers attacking the Ministry & the British Government in terms of the greatest severity. Indeed, one can hardly believe that in time of war a publication of such character would be tolerated."</span> <br /> The editors certainly did not lack courage. The third number was ordered to be burned but their attacks, centering on the King and the American situation, only grew bolder & stronger, and continued throughout the duration of the war. <br /> Note the interesting content in the photos, with the text essentially being a very lengthy poem, or "Casca's Epistle to Lord North", being fascinating reading. This issue is in very nice condition and measures about 7 by 11 inches. A very rare title, 6 pages, with some nice content as well. <strong>Note: this is not the "Crisis" pamphlet published by Thomas Paine.</strong>

THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, August, 1776  It would be difficult to argue for a more important document in American history than the Declaration of Independence. It remains a desire of most collectors to find an issue containing reference to it, and ultimately a contemporary printing of the actual document. With American newspaper printings commanding $50,000 or more in nice condition, here is an opportunity for a period printing at a very reasonable price. <br /> The title/index page of this issue, with a decorative engraving, includes: "Declaration of American Independency 361" referencing the page with the actual printing which is headed: <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress Assembled, July 4"</span>, with the complete text beginning with the famous words: <span style="font-style: italic;">"When in the course of human events..."</span>. The document concludes on the following page and is signed in type by: <span style="font-weight: bold;">John Hancock</span> (see the photos for the complete printing). <br /> One can imagine the reaction in England to those reading this report in their own magazine! A keystone issue for any collection of American history. <br /> Although it pales in comparison, the back several pages do contain various reports from America on the Revolutionary War under the heading: "Proceedings of the American Colonies". This text begins with: <em>"In the preceding part of this magazine the reader will find the Declaration of Independency issued by the American Congress, with a recapitulation of the grievances which have forced them into that desperate measure. Whether those grievances were real or imaginary, or whether they did or did not deserve a parliamentary enquiry, we will not presume to decide. The ball is now struck, and time only can shew where it will rest..."</em> (see). <br /> Not included is an unrelated plate which is called for in the title/index page. This issue is otherwise complete in 52 pages, disbound, and in excellent, clean condition. It comes with a very nice handmade archival case for proper storage (see photos).

Additional war-related reports follow, including a very historic letter from Gen.

Eight pgs., 8 3/4 by 11 inches, a bit close-trimmed at the top of page 3 affects just a little, some dirtiness to the ftpg., otherwise nice condition.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, 1777  This "supplemental" issue was published at the end of the year and continued the similar format of the monthly issues although not having a full title/index page. Although the table of contents does take the top half of the ftpg.<br /> The best item in this issue is the quite lengthy letter from George Washington to his wife, dated June 24, 1776, and which begins: <em>"You have hurt me, I know not how much, by the insinuation in your last, that my letters to you have lately been less frequent because I have felt less concern for you. The suspicion is most unjust...Have we lived, now almost a score of years, in the closest & dearest conjugal intimacy to so little purpose, that on an appearance only of inattention to you...you should pitch upon that single motive which alone is injurious to me?..."</em> and so much more (photos show portions).  In this very personal letter Washington touches on a few military concerns but focuses more on the family and concerns for the operation of the homestead in Virginia. Taking nearly 2 1/2 pages it ends with:<em> "...I beg to be affectionately remembered to all our friends & relations; and that you will continue to believe me to be your most faithful & tender husband."</em> and is signed: <strong>G.W.</strong><br /> Two pgs. are taken up with the accounts of the British successes at Forts Mifflin & Mercer, which opened up the Delaware River to the British as far as Philadelphia (see for portions). There is also an account on this event signed by: <strong>W. Howe </strong>(see).<br /> Complete in 30 pages, 5 by 8 1/2 inches, very nice condition.
