THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE London, England, February, 1775
* Eve of the Revolutionary War
* American taxation
* Rebellion addressed
A fine issue from just months before the formal outbreak of the Revolutionary War, this issue contains: "Thoughts on American Affairs Addressed to Parliament", which deals with taxation, etc. Also: "A Provisional Act for Settling the Troubles in America & for Asserting the Supreme Legislative Authority & Superintending Power of Great Britain over the Colonies" which takes nearly 2 pgs.
Also: "Speech Against Declaring America in a State of Rebellion" which takes over 2 pgs. And: "Association of the Loyalists in Massachusetts Bay-- Account of the Proceedings of the American Colonists..." plus a few other America-related items.
This issue includes the foldout "Map of Roads" plate called for, more specifically showing: "The Road from London to St. Davids in Pembroke Shire", looking much like a more modern AAA "Triptik" map. It folds out to 8 1/4 by 12 1/4 inches and is in great condition.
Complete in 54 pages, measures 5 by 8 1/4 inches, nice condition with a full title/index page containing an engraving of St. John's Gate (see photos).
