MERCURE HISTORIQUE ET POLITIQUE, February, 1690 This is a very small size, apparently French magazine (Mercury of History & Politics) measuring just 3 by 5 inches, although containing 112 pages. Nice engraving on the title page, and printed on very nice, white paper. Terrific condition, and a rare opportunity to purchase a 17th century periodical seldom found.
