THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, January, 1749   The prime feature of this issue is the very nice & detailed foldout map of "South America" which folds out to 11 1/2 by 10 inches. A very displayable & detailed map in great condition. Among the articles within are: "Articles of the Treaty of Utrecht" between England and France, which takes over 3 pages and including all 41 Articles.

Also: "Observations of the Last Solar Eclipse, taken in Scotland..."  "Description of a New Alarum [alarm]" which includes an engraving of it; plus other items.
The map and plates called for are lacking.
