Treaty ending the War of Austrian Succession...
Item # 676531 THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, November, 1748
* Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle
* War of the Austrian Succession
The most significant content would be the "General & Definitive Treaty of Peace", more commonly known as the Treaty of Aix la Chapelle which ended the War of Austrian Succession. This treaty takes five pages.
Other items in this issue include: "A Pulmonic Machine" with a print of it, appearing to be much like a humidifier); "A Palsy Cured by Electrifying" "Account of the Saxon Deities" and more.
Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" with the latest news reports and which includes reports from Philadelphia & Boston under the heading "America".
Lacking the two plates called for.
Complete in 48 pages, 5 by 8 inches, full title/contents page with an engraving of St. John's Gate, very nice condition.
A very nice magazine from the "mother country" before the French & Indian War 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.
