THE COUNTRY JOURNAL: OR, THE CRAFTSMAN, London, England, February 5, 1731-32

* Historic Georgia item
* Early 18th century original


On page 2 under London is a brief but very historic report about the establishment of a colony in Georgia: "A Charter is granted for the Relief of the Poor, by settling a new Colony in the uncultivated Parts of Carolina, now called Georgia."

Issue is double-dated because two different calendars were in use at the time. Other news of the day with some interesting advertisements.

Measures 14 1/4 by 10 1/2 inches, in very good condition. A great item relating on the founding of Georgia.
