Great and abundant content from America...

Item # 715015
THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, November, 1768  Articles include: "American Transactions Continued" from the previous issue which takes over 10 pages with a great wealth of content concerning the growing tensions between England & the American colonies.
Perhaps this lengthy text is summed up best with one paragraph: "...We wish & pray for the happy time when a national attention shall be given to the grievances we labour under, & the true source of them. When such a period shall come, we are persuaded that the union & harmony which has hitherto subsisted between Great Britain & the colonies & upon which the welfare of both undoubtedly depends, will be confirmed & established..." with much more.
Further on are 1 1/2 pages headed: "Plantation News" with more on events in America.
One of the two plates called for is present.
Complete in 48 pages, 5 by 8 1/4 inches, full title/contents page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate, very nice condition.

A very nice magazine from before the Revolutionary War 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.
