THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, January, 1761  An article: "Thoughts on the Present Posture of Affairs" includes some discussion concerning America, and includes: "...Hence it is evident that as North America was the bone of contention, Great Britain must not be induced to part with any of her conquests on that continent; because that would be a means to renew the war...". Also an article: "Letter of the Quakers on Pacific Measures".
Also: "On the Importance of the Rich Country on the Banks of the River Mississippi which is yet in the Possession of the French".
Included is a nice foldout map titled: "An Accurate Map of all His Majesty's Dominions IN GERMANY with the Adjacent Countries..." which measures 12 by 14 1/4 inches.
The map is the only plate called for.
Complete in 48 pages, 5 1/2 by 8 3/4 inches with wide untrimmed margins, great condition.

A very nice pre-Revolutionary War magazine from the "mother country" with a wide range of varied content. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907.
