March 01, 1782

THE LONDON MAGAZINE, England, March, 1782  Under the book review section new the back is a synopsis of: "An Authentic Narrative of a Voyage Performed by Captain Cooke and Captain Clerke in his Majesty's Ships Resolution and Discovery, during he Years 1776, 1777, 1778, 1779 and 1780; in Search of a North-West Passage between the Continents of Asia and America. Including a faithful Account of all their Discoveries and of the Unfortunate Death of Capt. Cooke...". See the photos for the fine review.
Lacking both plates called for.
Complete in 48 pages, 5 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches, very nice condition.

Formatted very much like the Gentleman's Magazine but a much more scarce title. The title/contents page features a great engraving of the skyline of London.
