November 01, 1778
THE LONDON MAGAZINE, England, November, 1778
* Battle of Rhode Island - Newport
* American Revolutionary War
A full page is devoted to a: "Description Of The Colony of Rhode Island and The Adjacent Counties", of interest at that time due to the actions of war occurring there (the map called for is lacking). Also a review of a book: "Considerations on the Mode and Terms of a Treaty of Peace With America".
Of special significance is a very lengthy & detailed letter from Major-General Pigot to General Clinton reporting on the historic Battle of Rhode Island, in addition to the actions just preceding it (see).
There are additional reports from the Revolutionary War including some items concerning events near Martha's Vineyard.
Lacking both plates called for.
Contains 46 of 48 pages, lacking the last leaf which did have American content. Full title/contents page, 5 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches, good condition.
Formatted very much like the Gentleman's Magazine but a much more scarce title. The title/contents page features a great engraving of the skyline of London.
