THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, England, August, 1739
* Early 18th century British magazine
* a map of Western Europe (see)
* Judaica content
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.
One of the articles is titled: "A Dissertation Whether the Hebrews borrow'd any Customs from the Heathens? And Whether Temples were before the Tabernacle?" which takes most of a column.
There is a full page taken up with a map and text concerning Spain, showing most of the country including Gibraltar, as well as a portion of northern Africa, the Brittany portion of France, the western portion of England, and the southern part of Ireland (see photos). There is a small inked library stamp at the bottom corner of this page.
Among the other articles noted in the table of contents are:
"The Number of Mrt. Whitgefield's Hearers Calculated" "Continuatoin of the Vision of the unmarrying Priest" "Case of a Woman Unhappily Wedded" "Mr. Whitefield charg'd with Falsities" and more.
Near the back is a section headed: "Historical Chronicle" with news from England & other parts of Europe.
Complete in 54 pgs. with full title/index page which contains an engraving of St. John's Gate, with a small inked library stamp near the bottom. Measures about 5 by 8 inches, very nice condition.
