Another item near the back has a very brief report concerning money for the Trustees of Georgia.
This is from just the third year of this magazine's existence & before any maps or plates were included.
Complete in 55 pages, full title/contents page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate, 5 by 8 inches, tiny pin holes at the blank spine, very nice condition.

A very nice pre-Revolutionary War magazine from the "mother country" with a wide range of varied content. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907.
