Included is the nice & very detailed foldout map of: "ITALY..." measuring 9 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches and is in very nice condition.
Among the various articles in this issue are: "A Short Account of the Tryal of Simon Lord Lovat before his Peers at Westminster Hall" which takes 6 pgs; "Romantic Story of a Nun" "Nature & Properties of Insects" a full pg. sheet of music titled: "A Hunting Song", and much more.
Also included is the other plate called for, a two-page foldout: "Plan of the Scaffolding in Westminster Hall".

A very nice pre-Revolutionary War magazine from the "mother country" with a wide range of varied content. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907.
