There is also a full page taken up with text and an engraving headed: "View and Description of the Island of Capri". The text is presented vertically (unusual format) and is very descriptive of this famous island in the Naples harbor in Italy.
Also: "Geographical Description of Louisiana" which begins: "Louisiana is a country in North America bounded on the south by the gulph of Mexico, on the east by Carolina, an English colony, and part of Canada; and on the west by New Mexico, on the north, part of it is bounded by Canada..." with much more. The text is extremely descriptive and takes close to three pages. Quite early for a descriptive article on this Western land.
Also of interest is a full page plate, hand colored, of a Carolina bird called "The Blackcap Flycatcher" with a bit of text on its, ands also a bit of text on the plate the bird is perched upon: "The Yellow Virginian Sweet Jassamine". This plate has a piece from the top, and a mend to the blank reverse (see).
There are a couple of news items in the "Historical Chronicle" under the heading: "Plantations" with datelines of New York, Kingston, Jamaica; and Barbados.
Lacking one of the plates called for.
Complete in 48 pages, 5 by 8 inches, full title/contents page featuring an engraving, great condition.
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.
