GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, November, 1760

* Map of portions of Germany
* The French & Indian War : American content
* Death of King George II


A very nice magazine from the French & Indian War period 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.

Among the articles in this issue are: "Scheme for Widening the Narrow Streets in London" "Charge Against Gen. T--sh--d for his Conduct at Quebec" which takes over 3 pages (see for beginning); "The Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's Accession" "History of the London Brewery" "Queries Concerning the American Fishery Answered" and more.
Also included is: "Louisiana or Mississippi Dangerous to N. America" which takes most of a column (see).
The only plate called for in this issue is a nice foldout map headed: "A Map of Part of Brandenburg including  Berlin and the Country Pillaged by the Russians" which is included. It folds out to measure 8 by 10 inches and is in very nice condition.
Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" which gives various news reports of the day and includes: "The Ceremonial of the Interment of his late most Excellency Majesty King George the Second of Blessed Memory..." which takes over a page (see for portions). It also includes a section headed: "America" which provides some information on the French & Indian War including mentions of Gen. Amherst, Quebec, New York, Crown Point, and more (see).

The back page is a full page chart of: "Each Day's Price of Stocks in November, 1760".
Complete in 50 pages, measures 5 by 8 inches, nice condition. Includes the full title/contents page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate.
