GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, December, 1777
* Burgoyne surrenders at Saratoga
* Brandywine & Germantown
The very first article is a two page continued: "Debate in the House of Lords on Lord Chatham's Motion for an Address to his Majesty relative to the American War" (see photos for the beginning).
This is unquestionably one of the more historic issues of the Revolutionary War with a terrific amount of war reporting, not the least of which is a fine report on Burgoyne's Surrender at Saratoga.
Among the headings covering the war are: "Proceedings of the Army Under Gen. Howe", and "Proceedings of the Army Under Gen. Clinton" which has fine reporting on the battles of Germantown and Brandywine, and "Proceedings of the Army under Gen. Burgoyne" and "Account of Gen. Lincoln's Attack on Ticonderoga".
This is then followed by: "Gen. Burgoyne's Account of His Capitulation" which continues for six pages giving remarkable detail of the proceedings & correspondences, several signed in type by each: Horatio Gates and Lieutenant General Burgoyne. This report also includes the "Report of the Killed, Wounded, and Prisoners of the British Troops...under the command of Lieut. Gen. Burgoyne to October 12, 1777" as well as the "Articles of Convention between Gen. Burgoyne & Gen. Gates". The photos below show only small portions of this terrific report.
In total the above mentioned articles on the Revolutionary War take an unprecedented 15 pages of text.
Near the back is yet another fullpg. concerning the disposition of Burgoyne & his troops (see), as well as an extract of the minutes from Congress signed in type: John Hancock, President.
When news of the American victory at Saratoga reached Europe it encouraged further support of the American cause and would eventually cause France to come to the aid of the colonists.
This issue does not contain the plate called for, which did not relate in any way to the Revolutionary War.
Complete in 54 pgs., full title/index page with an engraving of St. John's Gate (see), measures 5 by 8 1/4 inches, in great condition.
