GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, March, 1776* Captain James Cook
* Discoveries map
* Map of Eastern hemisphere
The first article has five pages on: "Debates in the Present Parliament" which includes much on the situation in America (see for the beginning).
This issue includes a lengthy article (3+ pages) on Captain Cook and the: "Resolution's Voyage on Discovery to the Southern Hemisphere".
The best graphic feature of this issue is the very nice & detailed foldout map measuring 8 1/2 by 9 3/4 inches and titled: "A New Projection of the Eastern Hemisphere of the Earth on a Place Shewing the Proportions of its Several Parts nearly as on a Globe", and dated "1st April, 1776" (see). This map is in uncommonly nice, very clean condition & is typically missing so it is rare when still present (see). This is the only plate called for in this issue. It has a minor archival repair on the reverse near a fold.
Lengthy text on: "Account of the Proceedings of the American Colonists since Passing the Boston Port Bill" includes talk on the taking of Quebec. Nice "resolve" from Congress regarding those who might "...obstruct & defeat the efforts of the United Colonies in the defence of their just rights..." plus more.
Complete in 48 pages, 5 by 8 inches, full title/contents page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate, very nice condition.
