THE LONDON GAZETTE, London, England, September 20, 1686 * 17th Century Original This single sheet issue is over 320 years old. Various news from London and other parts of Europe also with some interesting advertisements as well. A complete newspaper measuring about 7 by 11 1/2 inches and is in great condition. Made of rag paper which was used back in the day (no wood pulp). The reverse has news from the "Hague" which mentions letters from Vienna, with word that "...above 3000 Turks had been killed at the raking of Buda...and about 1500 soldiers and 500 Jews were Prisoners...". Fine and very early newspaper. Can easily be framed. Historical Background: "When in the autumn of 1665 Charles II sought shelter in Oxford from the Great Plague, he and his courtiers wanted newspapers to read, yet feared to touch "The Intelligencer" or "The News," which, coming from London, might be infected. Therefore Leonard Litchfeld, the university printer, was authorized and ordered to bring out a local paper. On Tuesday, November 14, 1665, the first number of "The Oxford Gazette" appeared, and it continued afterwards through eleven weeks on Thursdays and Mondays. It was meagre enough, but, though comprised in only two double-columned pages of folio, each number contained nearly as much matter as one of Roger L'Estrange's papers, and it soon became a formidable rival to those papers, especially as Thomas Newcombe, the old printer of the Commonwealth organs, was allowed to reproduce its sheets in London "for the use of some members and gentlemen who desired them. The plague was soon over and King Charles went back to Whitehall, but he was pleased with the Oxford effort and it was soon succeeded by "The London Gazette, which made its first appearance, labelled as No. 24, on February 5, 1666, and which has been kept alive, altering its size and character from time to time, down to this day.

This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907. Certainly the prime feature of this issue is the terrific foldout map titled: "An Accurate Map of the WEST INDIES, Exhibiting not only  all the Islands possessed by the English, French, Spaniards, & Dutch, but also all the Towns and Settlements on the Continent of America adjacent thereto." This map shows all of the Caribbean Islands, plus the northern portions of South America, Central America, and much of the Southern & Southeast portions of the United States, including the Chesapeake Bay down to Florida (a very distorted view) and west to Louisiana and Texas (see the many photos). There are also hundreds of towns and islands are named along with various text. This map measures 12 1/8 by 15 1/4 inches when unfolded. Typically these large maps have many tears & various damage, but this map is in great condition--rarely found as such--and still has the full border around the edges. The first page in this magazine has a note reading: "The commerce, Navigation, and different Settlements in America, having been the subject almost of every Magazine, we have, with this, given a View of them in an accurate Map of the West Indies; and as we shall have frequent occasion, from its being now the seat of action, to refer to, & explain the Geography of these places, we do not doubt its being acceptable to our Readers, especially as this map alone sells for 6d. We are preparing others." Under the "Historical Chronicle" near the back is a report which includes: "...Being a general fast was observed with great decency & solemnity throughout the city, & by the Jews also in their several Synagogues...". Among the other articles noted in the Table of Contents are: "Discourse on Hebrew Customs Concluded" "Account of the Rise of Free Masons" "Roguery as Beneficial to Politicks as Luxury to Trade" & more. The Table of Contents also notes the inclusion of this map, verifying the date and it belonging to this issue. Complete in 40 pgs. with full title/index page.  The magazine measures 5 by 8 inches and is in very nice condition. As noted above, the map is also in great condition.</div>

This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907. This issue includes a very curious illustration of a devise meant for: "...binding tight the bodies & heads of infants..." to prevent early deaths (see photos). There is good content on the Jacobite Rebellion with: "Order of Battle at Falkirk-muir" being a textual diagram of the placement of troops, with other related text concerning the Battle of Falkirk (see). Also: "How the most noble Party of Free-Thinkers will suffer by the Success of the present Rebellion", "A Second Letter to the Jacobites", "Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman at Derby", and: "Accounts of the Motions of the Rebels & of the King's Forces...", the latter taking over 7 pages. Also found within: "Orders of the Young Pretender & his Generals", "Orders issued by the young Pretender for payment of the land tax, and for raising a supply of horses." and "Essay on Regular and Irregular Forces". There is also: "The nature of National Offences truly stated: And the peculiar Case of the Jewish people righly explained; Showing that Great Britain...may reasonably aspire to the distinguished protection of Heaven". An article: "On Insurance of Hostile Ships" has several references to America & the West Indies, and a note beginning: "Since we are in possession of Cape Breton, this is the favourable crisis if there can be one for ruining the French trade & establishing our own...". Among many articles in this issue are: "The Life of Nicholas Rienzy" (takes over 3 pages), mention of the publishing of: "A Farther Appeal to Men of Reason and Religion" by John Wesley, Most of a page taken up with a sheet of music: "A Two-Part Song, Set by Mr. Allcock" and a number of poems. Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" which has various news reports from throughout Europe. One report notes briefly: "Arrived an express from his royal highness the duke of Cumberland with an account of the surrender of Carlisle." and a report headed: "A letter from a private soldier of Barrell's regiment at Edinburgh". A brief item notes a celebration at Connecticut for the taking of Cape Breton. Another item notes: "...by the latest accounts that the town of Stirling was, like that of Edinburgh and Carlisle, basely given up to the rebels...". Complete in 48 pgs. with full title/index page which contains an engraving of St. John's Gate. Small library stamps at the bottom of 2 pages do not cause loss of readability.  Measures about 5 by 8 inches, very nice condition. The map called for at the bottom of the titlepage is virtually never present, as even the publisher's notes at the front of the volume suggests: "The bookbinder would do well to place the whole sheet chart of New England, New France, Cape Breton, Canada, etc. publish'd with January Magazine, between p. 72 and 73 [the February issue] where is M. Bellin's description of it...". The text relating to the map is in the February issue, hence the map almost always is--logically--found there.

Quite rare to find prints of American architecture in this magazine. Some nice text as well, including "Geographical Description of Louisiana" which takes over 2 pages, and "The Bill Permitting the Jews to be Naturalized by Parliament..."HOWEVER this article is defective as a leaf is missing containing the concluding portion of this Bill (we have other complete issues without the church print at lower prices: inquire).  Octavo-size, about 40 pages, with a full title/index page with an engraving of St. John's Gate. Margins were never trimmed (quite rare) and one leaf has minor loss at a blank margin, otherwise in great condition.

The prime content in this issue would be under the heading: "A Summary of the Proceedings in the Last Sessions of Parlament..." which reports on the repeal of the famous Jew Bill of 1753. In 1753 a bill passed Parliament to allow Jews to become naturalized citizens but an uproar caused the bill to be reconsidered, as noted in this report. A portion of the report--the entirety of which can be seen in the photos below--includes: "...a motion was made...for repealing an act which passed the last sessions, to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalized by parliament; but this being contrary to form...the same day a motion was made in the house of Lords...to repeal the act...the repeal passed through both houses with such rapidity..." with more. This magazine also has an account of the exploration of "Russian America" (present-day Alaska) which takes nearly two pages. Yet another page has a report datelined: "Virginia, Feb. 9" concerning the British trying to get the French out of their territory (see). Complete in 48 pgs. with full title/index page.

There is also a detailed account of Oglethorpe's English colony at Georgia, now 22 yrs. old & still suffering from "want of inhabitants" due to the founder's odd regulations. This 2+ page article headed: "New Georgia" traces the founding & growth of the colony & includes: "Mr. Oglethorpe was an active & enterprising man & had distinguished himself as a friend to the unhappy wretches who were prisoners for debts...on the 6th November, 1733 100 adventurers embarked...on the 15th Mr. Oglethorpe also embarked on board the same vessel to direct the first operations for establishing the new colony...in 1737 there were five cities & several villages in New Georgia...Savannah, the capital...next considerable city was Augusta...North Georgia contains...Savannah, New Ebenezer and Augusta...South Georgia contains ...Frederica and New Inverness..." and so much more (photos show just a small portion).

This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907. Certainly the prime feature of this issue is the very nice foldout map which shows the greater portion of colonial America in 1763, showing from the Great Lakes to most of Florida, to New Mexico, to the upper portions of "Louisiana" (see photos).

The article is very description (photos show only portions) noting that this large expanse is divided into four parts: "The sea-coast" "The lower Louisiana, or Western part of Carolina" "The upper Louisiana, or Western part of Virginia" and "The Mississippi" with much about the topography and the crops of each region, particularly maize, tobacco, indigo and cotton. The map measures 8 by 10 inches, has just a slight bit of foxing to the right edge, otherwise is in very nice, clean condition. This map is noted on the title/index page as well. The Louisiana text is followed by a report: "...about a proposal to settle "a very extensive colony upon the finest part of the Ohio". (see) In the "Historical Chronicle" which contains various news items, is a report beginning: "An insurrection of the negroes has lately happened in Berbice, one of the Dutch settlements in the West Indies...affirms that the negroes, to the number of 3000, had murdered most of the whites..." with more (see). Other items of interest in this issue include:  "A Curious Contrivance for Extinguishing Fire" "Method of Destroying Caterpillars"  "Tax Upon Beer Defended"  "A General History of Religion--The Indian devotion to Rivers--Jewish Sectaries, how Produced" Complete in 52 pgs. with full title/index page.

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, from London, England, dated October 12, 1776  * The battle of Long Island New York * Great year to from the enemy * Revolutionary war original A terrific issue, particularly for display, as the entire front page is taken up with the report of the Battle of Long Island as reported in "The London Gazette Extraordinary" of October 10, 1776. "Extraordinary" issues were published at irregular intervals to report significant news reports which came to the printing office between regularly scheduled publications. This lengthy report is signed in type by: W. Howe, commander of the British forces which inflicted a crushing defeat on Washington's army led by General Israel Putnam & others. During the night Washington withdrew the colonial forces from Brooklyn Heights to Manhattan. Considerable detail as can be seen in the photos below. The very end of the report includes the: "Return of Prisoners taken on Long Island, 27th August, 1776" which carries over to take two-thirds of page 2 as well (see for portions). The balance of page 2 is a letter from Lord Viscount Howe, commander of the British naval force in America, with further details of the Battle of Long Island which carries over to the next page as well. Also within this issue is a: "Letter from an Officer at New York, Sept. 6" which related to the Battle of Long Island as well (see). And there are additional war-related reports also, too numerous to mention here. Complete in 8 pages, 8 1/2 by 11 inches, very nice, clean condition.

Page 3 has: "Died--At Pomfret, (Conn.) Major-General Israel Putnam, aged 83. A gentleman highly distinguished for his military prowess, genuine patriotism, and native honesty." On the back page under "Castalian Fount" is a poem: "On General Washington". There is also an ad headed: "Richard Cranch, Watchmaker". Note: Cranch was the brother-in-law of John Adams, married to the sister of Abigail Adams. Front page has some stray writing in the outer margin, some foxing spots, otherwise nice. 4 pages. wikipedia notes: Israel Putnam (January 7, 1718 – May 29, 1790) was an American army general who fought with distinction at the Battle of Bunker Hill (1775) during the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783). Although Putnam never quite attained the national renown of more famous heroes such as Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone, in his own time his reckless courage and fighting spirit were known far beyond Connecticut's borders through the circulation of folk legends celebrating his exploits.

THE WORLD, London, Feb. 12, 1791 Page 3 contains a report reading: "It is with pleasure we can announce to the public the imprisonment in this city of the thieves who lately stole Madam du Barre's jewels. They were detected by offering to sale a small parcel of them, value about 7,000l to a Mr. Simon, a Jew, for 1,500l which caused in him a suspicion of their being obtained by some dishonest means..." with a bit more (see photo). Mentions of Jews in such reports are relatively uncommon. You get the complete 4 page issue, folio size, which is in nice condition.
