THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, April, 1754  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. This issue still has two of the three plates called for, one of which is a foldout.
Measures about 5 by 8 inches, nice condition.

A very nice pre-Revolutionary War magazine from the "mother country" with a wide range of varied content including news of the day, political reports, literary items, and other unusual tidbits. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907.
