THE CHRISTIAN HISTORY, Boston, Massachusetts, April 9, 1743
* 1st successful magazine in America
This was the very first successful magazine in America, preceded by just a few magazines which lasted but a couple of issues--one of which was by Ben Franklin. Even this title lasted but a few short years.
As the subtitle reads: "Containing Accounts of the Propagation & Revival of Religion in Great Britain & America", this 8 page magazine is almost entirely taken up with religious content from the "Great Awakening" period in American history. In great condition, measures 4 3/4 by 8 inches. The imprint appears at the bottom of the back page (see photos). A rare opportunity for an American periodical from such an early year.
