Creating the colony of Georgia in 1732...
Item # 676459 THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, August, 1732 Certainly the prime content in this issue is the historic report on the creation of the colony of Georgia.
Under the heading: "On the Colony of Georgia" is much on the establishment of the colony including text "From the Charter", which includes: "His Majesty having taken into Consideration the miserable circumstances of many of his own poor Subjects, as likewise the Distresses of many Foreigners, who would take refuge from persecution; and having a princely Regard to the great Danger the Southern Frontiers of South Carolina are expos'd to, by Reason of the Small Number of white Inhabitants there, hath granted a Charter for... establishing the Colony of Georgia in America...", with much more.
The articles continues: "...and his Majesty farther grants all his lands between the Rivers Savannah and Alatamahah, which he erects into a Province by the Name of Georgia..." with more.
Also of interest is the following article titled: "A Description of the Province of South Carolina, drawn up at Charles-Town in Sept., 1731" which is very descriptive of the colony, and takes two pages.
There were no plates or maps in such early issues.
Complete in 56 pages, full title/contents page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate, 5 by 8 inches, minor foxing, a few interior leaves have margin wear, generally good condition.
