THE MASSACHUSETTS MAGAZINE, Boston, October, 1793  The most notable report is a very discrete & rather inconspicuous back page mention under the heading: "Deaths', which begins the list with: "Massachusetts--Boston, His Excellency John Hancock, Esq. Governour, 57". A very early report--likely why there is no article within on his death--as he died on October 8. Gest to have this report in a Boston magazine.
Articles within include: "Anecdote of Dr. Johnson" "The Desperate Negroe" which is the story of the famous Quashi; "Disquisition on Gaming" "The Birth of Sensibility" "Funeral Rites of the Otaheitans" [Tahitians].
Near the back is the "Monthly Gazette" with news reports including much on the French Revolution, plus: "Domestick Occurrences" which includes various headings (see).
Complete in 64 pages, 5 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches, various foxing throughout, good condition. No plate is included.

Eighteenth century American magazines are increasingly scarce in today's market. This title was published  by the famed Isaiah Thomas, the patriot printer from the Revolutionary War & founder of the American Antiquarian Society.
