THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, February, 1765  The issue begins with over 3 pages taken up with a notable report: "Review of Dr. Brown's Thoughts on Civil Liberty" of which much can be found on the internet. 
Also included: "Some Account of the City of Oxford" and "Proceedings Relative to the Discovery of Longitude" and more.
Over a full page is a: "Proclamation" by George Johnstone, governor of West Florida, which begins: "His Majesty having been...pleased to give to me instructions for the speedy & effectual settling of the province of West Florida..." which gives a descriptive account of it, noting in part: "...The province of West Florida is bounded to the southward by the gulp of Mexico..." with much more. At that time West Florida included the Florida panhandle and portions of present-day Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.  This is followed by a: "Letter from a Gentleman at Pensacola".
Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" which has the latest news reports of the day, including the report of three Cherokee chiefs visiting England.
Lacking both plates called for..
Complete in 52 pages, 5 by 8 1/4 inches, full title/contents page with an engraving of St. John's Gate, a bit irregular at the spine from disbinding, good condition.

A nice issue of this very famous & successful British magazine from this significant year of the Stamp Act, and some ten years before the outbreak of the Revolutionary War.
