THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, July, 1750  Perhaps the most intriguing article in this issue is the first, titled: "Some Account of Hannah Snell, the Female Soldier", a British woman  who disguised herself as a man and became a soldier. See the hyperlink for her fascinating  story. There is a nice print of her on the front page & the article takes close to 2 pages, and is followed by a poem titled: "The Female Soldier" which begins: "Hannah in Breeks behav'd so well, That  none her softer sex could tell..." (see).
Also in this issue are: "Letter from a Person of Note in Nova Scotia..." 'Memoirs of the Czar Peter the Great" which is lengthy; a full page of 3 illustration of: "Sir Isaac Newton's & M. Gautier's System" with a detailed article; A great foldout plate titled: "A Prospect of Vulcan's Court near Putzol in Naples" with a related article; and much more.
Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" which has the latest news reports of the day, including an: "Extract of a Letter from Boston" which tells of the bad economic situation there (see).
Lacking two of the three plates called for, the one present being that noted above.
Complete in 48 pages, 5 by 8 inches, full title/contents page featuring  an engraving of St. John's Gate, very nice condition.

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