There is much reporting on events in Parliament under the guise of: "Proceedings, etc. in the Senate of Lilliput". Near the back is a section headed: "Historical Chronicle" with news from England & other parts of Europe.

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.
