Here is a complete, genuine issue of THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE from London England. This magazine is dated: February 1, 1734 and is about 55 pages in length. The front page of this issue has a nice masthead of St. John's Gate and contains news & stories from around the world during this very early time in history. VERY INTERESTING READING from the day it was first reported including report on the constitution of England. This issue is in nice condition due to the use of cotton and rag paper used during this time in history. A nice period item form the 18th century. VINTAGE READING. WOULD MAKE A GREAT UNIQUE GIFT !

It originated as a storehouse, or magazine, of essays and articles culled from other publications, often from books and pamphlets. Its motto-"E pluribus unum"-took note of the numerous sources scoured to assemble one monthly" Sources: Encycloprdia Britannica
