Great issue on the siege and fall of Charleston to the British....



Item # 697397

June 01, 1780

THE LONDON MAGAZINE, England, June, 1780  

* Fall of Charleston, South Carolina
* General Sir Henry Clinton


Inside has a full page: "Description of the Island of Skie or Skye, In Scotland". The mentioned map is lacking.
Near the back are 4 1/2 pages of reports headed: "American Affairs" which contain terrific detail on not only the British siege of Charleston, but the capture of the city by General Clinton over the American forces of General Benjamin Lincoln. Included is the full document which stipulates the Articles of Capitulation of Charleston as well as the lengthy letter on the details of the siege signed in type by: H. Clinton.
Complete in 56 pages, 5 by 8 inches, very nice, clean condition. Lacking both plates called for.

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.
