GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, March, 1763 (with map). This issue contains one of the more significant documents of the 18th century, being "The Definitive Treaty of Friendship of Peace between his Britannick Majesty, the Most Christian King, and the King of Spain, Concluded at Paris, the 10th day of Feb., 1763...". Resulting from it, France gives up Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, the St. Lawrence River islands & Canada to the British. France gives to England all her territory east of the Mississippi River except New Orleans. France gets back their Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique & St. Lucia. Spain is given back Cuba in return for territory in East & West Florida. This document takes about 5 pages in this issue. This report in an American newspaper would command well over $1000. Also in this issue is a foldout "Plan of Dunkirk, with the Canal of Mardick as they were in 1757". Has a full title/index page containing an engraving of St. John's Gate. About 40 pages, octavo-size, great condition.
