November 01, 1788
THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, November, 1788 A feature of this issue would be the 3 plates which are still present, the first being a somewhat large foldout of the "Monument of Dr. Wilson at Walbrook Church" with a related article. Another has an interesting print showing microscopic images of ants, with a related article (see).
At the back is the continuation of a rather detailed account of the "Grand Federal Procession at Philadelphia" celebrating the 4th of July and the creation of the new federal Constitution. This takes over a full page & concludes in a future issue (see).
Complete in 96 pages, 5 by 8 inches, full title/contents page, very nice condition.
A very nice magazine from the "mother country" not long after the end of the Revolutionary War. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907.
