THE PRESENT STATE OF EUROPE OR THE HISTORICAL & POLITICAL MONTHLY MERCURY, London, England, March, 1694
* Rare 17th century title
* Queen Mary II death
This is a very uncommon periodical published during the reign of King William III, formatted something like a pamphlet but definitely a periodical, with the more extended title reading: "... Giving an Account of all the Publick and Private Occurrences, Civil, Ecclesiastical, and Military, that are most considerable in every Court: The Interest of Princes, their Pretensions, and Intrigues, etc." (see photo).
Much of this issue is concerned with the political & military affairs of Europe & is organized into news by country or region with commentary on the events. Near the back is: "Advice From England" with a variety of topics discussed, including several naval items (see photos). This is followed by: "Reflections upon the Advice from England".
A nice feature of this periodical is the full title page which includes the date. An advertisement is inside the front leaf. Measures 6 1/4 by 7 1/2 inches, some worm holing near the bottom is mostly in blank margin but does affect some text, causing no loss of readability. Nice condition.
