THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, March, 1740. 

* Havanna Cuba map
* Porto Bello
* Georgia
* Judaica

One of the prime features of this issue is the very nice map headed: "Plan of the City of Havanah" in Cuba with various portions of it labeled (see photo). There is also a nice map of Porto Bello (Caribbean coast of Panama) with various landmarks labeled (see photo) and much text on it as well.

Plus this issue has a detailed account taking over a full page of a Carolina slave insurrection inspired by the Spanish promise of freedom to all black Americans who can escape to Florida, with mention of General Oglethorpe. 

Also:  "The Crown of England's Title to America prior to that of Spain" and an  item from Naples: "The King's Edict in Favor of the Jews". A report from "New York" mentions: "A body of 300 French & 700 Indians...intending to extirpate a Nation of Southern Indians called Chicasaus, Friends to the English, were in a fair pitch'd battle defeated by them with the loss of 250 men kill'd on the spot...the French have several times attacked those Indians but without success."

A complete issue of 40+ page with the full title/index page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate. In great condition
