THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, England, October, 1759 This issue contains a terrific & very detailed account of the Battle of Quebec, headed "Operations of the Army Before Quebec" and "Authentic Accounts of the Proceedings Before Quebec", taking seven pages of text and includes the "Articles of Capitulation Agreed on Between Gen. Townshend & M. DeRamzay, commander of Quebec" (see photos for portions).But the prime item in this issue is the very nice & rather rare full page plate titled: "A Map of the Island of Orleans with the Environs of Quebec" which shows much detail (see). The map measures 5 by 8 3/8 inches and is in great condition. Typically such maps have been removed.
This issue also includes: "Instructions for Making Wine in America", which is an extremely early report on wine making in the colonies (see photos for a portion of the text).
Complete in 56 pages, 5 by 8 3/8 in., full title/contents page with an engraving of St. John's Gate, in excellent condition.
