GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, May, 1775  The first five pages contain a nice account of Parliamentary discussion concerning the troubles in America, headed: "Governor Johnson's Speech on the Motion for an Address to His Majesty Respecting the Situation of Affairs in America..." continued from a previous issue. Terrific reading (see photos for portions).
Another fine article takes 3 pages & is headed: "Account of the Proceedings of the American Colonists Since the Passing the Boston Port Bill" continued from a previous issue (see photos for the beginning).
But certainly the prime content is the terrific report under the "Historical Chronicle" section near the back which gives a fine and very early account of the Battle of Lexington & Concord. The article is prefaced: "...containing the particulars of an affair that happened on the 19th between a detachment from Gen. Gage's army & the provincial militia..." followed by the account which begins: "Gen. Gage having heard that the insurgents were drawing some cannon a few miles from Boston, he dispatched an officer with some troops to demand them to be delivered up, which the insurgents refused to comply with...the troops fired on them & killed about 60..." with further particulars of the battle. This article takes about half a column (see).
This issue also includes both of the full page plates called for, one of which is headed: "A Phenomenon of the Sun As it Appear'd on Thursday April 27th, 1775 at Bexley, Kent..."  & the other is a group of curiosities (see).
Complete in 48 pages with the full title/contents page, measures 5 by 8 1/4 inches, very nice, clean condition.
