THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, England, November, 1746
* More on the Jacobite Rebellion
There is still content on the Jacobite Rebellion, with: "Rebels Tried at York". And near the back is half a page on: "Executed at York". Also a report from the: "Boston Gazette" in America concerning the troubles with France in Louisbourgh and Cape Breton, Canada. There is another letter from Nova Scotia.
Three pages are taken up with a List of Ships Taken" including several traveling to or from America, and an article: "Journal of the Expedition to Britany" but lacking the related plate.
Among other articles: "Difficulty of Assembling a Sufficient Army" "Further Essays on Electricity" which takes over 2 pages; "Proceedings against the Rebels at St. Margaret's Hill, Southwark" "Extract of a letter from Antigua" & much more.
Near the back is the "Historical Chronicle" which has various news reports from throughout Europe as well as a report from "Boston in New England".
Complete in 56 pages, 5 by 8 inches, full title/contents page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate, very good condition.
background: In November 1746, following the crushing defeat of the Jacobite forces at the Battle of Culloden, a grim series of executions took place in York as part of the British government's harsh crackdown on rebellion. At least fifteen Jacobite prisoners—many of them low-ranking soldiers, artisans, and farmers who had joined Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s cause—were publicly executed at Tyburn on the Knavesmire, just outside the city walls. Convicted of high treason, the condemned were subjected to the brutal punishment of being hanged, drawn, and quartered, a method meant to both punish and deter. These executions were not only acts of retribution but also political theatre, intended to reinforce Hanoverian dominance and extinguish lingering Jacobite sympathies in northern England. Among those put to death were men like Thomas Siddall and James Nicholson, whose participation in the rebellion sealed their fate despite pleas for mercy. The events left a lasting imprint on York’s history, marking the city as a key site in the brutal suppression of the final Jacobite rising.
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.
