THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, July, 1767* Benjamin Franklin on the Stamp Act repeal
* Protest against repealing the Stamp Act
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.
Within this issue is an article: "Protest Against Repealing the American Stamp Act" which takes over two pages (photos show portions) and provides some fascinating insight into this heated topic.
Also in this issue is: "The Examination of Doctor Benjamin Franklin, Relative to the Repeal of the American Stamp Act in 1767" which is done in question & answer format, and takes over 4 pages (see for portions).
Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" with news reports of the day, almost entirely European. The back page is a chart of: "Each Day's Price of Stocks in July, 1767".
Included is the full page plate called for, which includes an image of an ancient coin.
Complete in 52 pgs. with full title/index page. Measures about 5 by 8 inches and in very nice condition.
