THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, March, 1740 One of the prime features of this issue is the very nice map headed: "Plan of the City of Havanah" in Cuba with various portions of it labeled (see photo). There is also a nice map of Porto Bello (Caribbean coast of Panama) with various landmarks labeled (see photo) and much text on it as well. Plus this issue has a detailed account taking over a full page of a Carolina slave insurrection inspired by the Spanish promise of freedom to all black Americans who can escape to Florida, with mention of General Oglethorpe. Also: "The Crown of England's Title to America prior to that of Spain" and an item from Naples: "The King's Edict in Favor of the Jews". A complete issue of 40+ page with the full title/index page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate. In great condition.
