THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, England, January, 1736 Nice to have such an early issue of this very famous magazine, the very first publication to use the word "magazine" in the title. This was a very successful title which published from 1731 through 1907. This issue contains a wide variety of content including literary items, political affairs, news reports, various essays, and other tidbits. One of the nicer reports in this issue is an interesting article concerning the layout and growth of Philadelphia which includes mention of William Penn (see photos). Early item on this colonial town! The issue includes the full title/index page which features a nice engraving of St. John's Gate.
Complete in 40+ pages, measuring about 5 by 8 inches. Nice condition.
