Believe this is the very first fullpg. plate in GM. Confirm!!THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, December, 1736
A very nice pre-Revolutionary War magazine from the "mother country" with a wide range of varied content including news of the day, political reports& more. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907.
Near the back is a section headed: "Historical Chronicle" with news from England & other parts of Europe.A short bit here notes: "The trustees for the colony of Georgia gave instructions to Mr. Von Reck to fetch more Protestants from Germany to be provided for in Georgia; those already there proving a very religious, diligent, & governable people." (see photos).
Also of significance is the article: "The People before the Flood did not Understand Navigation" and accompanying this article is a great full page plate titled: "A Map of the Old World as it Appeared Before God Destroy'd it With the Waters of the Flood." (see photos). This pate is in excellent condition, very white with wide margins.
Complete in 56 pgs. with full title/contents page which contains an engraving of St. John's Gate. Measures 5 1/4 by 8 1/2 inches, wide margins, great condition.
