THE UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE OF KNOWLEDGE & PLEASURE, London, August, 1755  Typically we have offered this title from disbound volumes, but because it had no half title page for each issue, it had a clumsy, incomplete look. To avoid these many of our latest offerings have been as complete bound volumes with the volume's title page.
But here is an issue as sold on the streets, with the original blue outer wrappers containing the table of contents. These were always discarded when issues were bound.
Having never been bound, it has the original string binding, has never-trimmed margins, and is in great condition. Measures 5 3/4 by 9 inches with 48 pages. The two full page plates are still present.
