* The Crusades
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.
This issue has the continuing story of the Crusades, with: "Of the Holy War" & "Saladin's Death & Character--A New Crusade".
There is a brief report of the marriage of the Rev. John Wesley: "Rev. Mr. John Wesley, methodist preacher, to a merchant's widow in Threadneedle Street..." (see).
Other items in this issue include:
* "Journey to the Black Lead Mines"
* "Microscopic Discovery: Body not Barely in Idea" includes a small illustration (see).
* "Medicinal Effects from Electricity"
* "Height of a Meteor Calculated" includes a geometric illustration
* various poems
Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" which has various news reports from throughout Europe. Included is a half page illustration of "Edward Bright", a rather huge man (see).
Complete in 48 pgs. with full title/index page which contains an engraving of St. John's Gate. Measures about 5.5 by 9 inches and is in nice condition.
None of the plates called for are present.
