THE COUNTY MAGAZINE, Salisbury, England, July, 1787 I believe this is the first issue of this title we have offered, this coming from our private collection. It existed under this title from 1786 thru 1790, this being the volume 1, number 19 issue.
A typical magazine of the era although twice as large, various literary items but it does include: "An Account of the Three Volcanos In the Moon" by William Herschel.
This is a contemporary report by this famed astronomer, presented before the Royal Society.
Sixteen pages, 9 by 11 inches, wide never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
