THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, England, October, 1746
* Bonnie Prince Charlie
* The Young Pretender
* Escapes after Culloden
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.
Seven pages at the beginning of the issue are taken up with reports on events in Parliament under the guise of: "Proceedings & Debates in the Senate of Lilliput" as direct reporting on Parliamentary events was prohibited.
The most historic content in this issue is the 1 1/2 page article: "Account of the Young Pretender's Escape after the Battle of Culloden" (see photos for portions). There is more on this in the Historical Chronicle (see item below).
Among other articles in this issue are: "Of the Cause of Electricity" "Character of Lord Balmerino" "Account of the Action near Liege" "Lists of Kill'd and Wounded" "Of Marrying a Brother's Widow" "Argument for Mercy to the Rebels" "Account of the Rebels try'd" and many poems including one on the victory at Culloden.
Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" which has various news reports from throughout Europe. Included is some content relating to the Jacobite Rebellion, including more on: "Further Particulars Relating to the Escape of the Young Pretender" (see).
Complete in 60 pages with full title/index page which contains an engraving of St. John's Gate. Small library stamps at the bottom of 2 pages do not cause loss of readability. Measures about 5 by 8 inches, very nice condition. There is no map or plate called for in this issue.
