THE PRESENT STATE OF EUROPE: Or, the Historical and Political Monthly Mercury..., Edinburgh, Scotland, March, 1692* Rare 17th century publication
* Never bound nor trimmed (very rare)
Note that this is the more uncommon "Edinburgh" edition rather than the London edition.
This is a very uncommon periodical published during the reign of King William III, formatted something like a pamphlet but definitely a periodical, with the more extended title reading: "... Giving an Account of all the Publick and Private OCCURRENCES Civil, Ecclesiastical and Military that are most considerable in every Court: The Interests of Princes, their Pretentions and Intrigues, etc."
Of interest is that this issue was never bound nor trimmed save for the typical string-binding done at the time. Quite wide, deckle margins, mostly loose at the spine due to the old string binding, some foxing, generally good condition.
Much of this issue is concerned with the political & military affairs of Europe & is organized into news by country or region with commentary on the events.
A nice feature of this periodical is the full title page which includes the date. Measures 6 1/2 by 7 7/8 inches, some foxing, 38 pages, nice condition.
