THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, January, 1770  Among the articles are: "Difficulty of Explaining the Scripture" "Origin of Rhyming" "Reasons Against a New War" 'History & Antiquity of Berkley Castle" and so much more. Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" which has the latest news reports of the day.
There is a brief mention of America with: "The general assembly of North Carolina was dissolved three days after its meeting in November last, by his excellency William Tryon, Esq., the governor."
There is a full page plate present but it is not the one called for. Library stamp at the bottom.
Complete in 48 pages, 5 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches, full title/contents page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate, nice condition.

A very nice magazine from the "mother country" from just before the Boston Massacre 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.
