Item # 673449 THE PRESENT STATE OF EUROPE OR THE HISTORICAL & POLITICAL MONTHLY MERCURY, London, England, April, 1730
* 18th century original publication
This is an uncommon periodical published during the reign of King George II, formatted something like a pamphlet but definitely a periodical, with the more extended title reading: "... Giving an Account of all the Publick and Private Occurrences, Civil, Ecclesiastical, and Military, that are most considerable in every Court: With A more Particular Account of the Affairs of Great Britain."
Much of this issue is concerned with the political & military affairs of Europe & is organized into news by country or region with commentary on the events. Near the back is: "Advice From Great Britain" which America mention: "His Majesty has been pleased to appoint George Barrington, Esq. to be Captain General and Governor in Chief of his Majesty's province of North Carolina in America. And William Tailer to be his Majesty's Lt. Governour of his province & territories of Massachusetts Bay in New England in America in the room of William Dummer...".
A nice feature of this periodical is the full title page which includes the date. Measures 6 3/4 by 8 1/4 inches, 32 pages, very nice condition.
