THE LITERARY MAGAZINE & BRITISH REVIEW, London, August, 1789  One of the less common titles of the 18th century, this magazine is mostly taken up with--as the title would suggest--literary items and Review of New Publications". Three articles are: "Reflections on the Custom of Burying the Dead, & the Danger of Precipitate Interment" which takes 7 pages; and: "An Account of the Dances of the Turkish Dervishes", as as we refer to them, the Whirling Dervishes. Perthaps the most interesting is: "A Voyage round the World, But More Particularly to the North-West Coast of America, Performed in the Years 1785, 1786, 1787 & 1788...Captains Portlock and Dixon..." which takes nearly 4 pages.
Note that this original books is being offered today by a rare book dealer for $16,000 with all the plates.
But several pages at the back are taken up with the "Monthly Register" of recent news events. 
Complete in 8 pages, half title page, 5 1/2 by 8 3/4 inches, never-trimmed margins, a bit of light damp staining to some corners, nice condition.
