Lacking the map called for.
Complete in 54 pages, full title/contents page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate, 5 by 8 inches, very nice condition.
A very nice pre-Revolutionary War magazine from the "mother country" with a wide range of varied content including news of the day, political reports, literary items, and other unusual tidbits. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907.
