A very rare early map that includes the south-east coast of the United States! This map from the year of 1762 originates from “The Gentleman’s Magazine of February 1762”. It is authentic and guaranteed to be as described. “The Gentleman’s Magazine” founded in 1731, is a Historical Chronicle/publication/digest containing news of the day and regular features including mathematical theories and problems, short stories, births, deaths and marriages, price of goods grains and stocks, poetical essays, songs with musical notation, inventions and curiosities, meteorogical accounts and so much more! The Gentleman’s Magazine was the most influential periodical of it’s time. These periodicals are not brittle as they were printed on a durable rag-linen paper. They can be handled and researched carefully without damage. This issue is still adjoined at the spine. There is a plethora of historic content in each monthly issue! The following is info from Wikipedia——The original complete title was The Gentleman’s Magazine: or, Trader’s monthly intelligencer. Cave’s innovation was to create a monthly digest of news and commentary on any topic the educated public might be interested in, from commodity prices to Latin poetry. It carried original content from a stable of regular contributors, as well as extensive quotations and extracts from other periodicals and books. Cave, who edited The Gentleman’s Magazine under the pen name “Sylvanus Urban”, was the first to use the term magazine (meaning “storehouse”) for a periodical. Contributions to the magazine frequently took the form of letters, addressed to “Mr. Urban”. The iconic illustration of St. John’s Gate on the front of each issue (occasionally updated over the years) depicted Cave’s home, in effect, the magazine’s “office”. Before the founding of The Gentleman’s Magazine, there were specialized journals, but no such wide-ranging publications (although there had been attempts, such as The Gentleman’s Journal, which was edited by Peter Motteux and ran from 1692 to 1694). Samuel Johnson’s first regular employment as a writer was with The Gentleman’s Magazine. During a time when parliamentary reporting was banned, Johnson regularly contributed parliamentary reports as “Debates of the Senate of Magna Lilliputia”. Though they reflected the positions of the participants, the words of the debates were mostly Johnson’s own. The name Columbia, a poetic name for America coined by Johnson, first appears in a 1738 weekly publication of the debates of the British Parliament in the magazine.[2][3] A skilled businessman, Edward Cave developed an extensive distribution system for The Gentleman’s Magazine. It was read throughout the English-speaking world and continued to flourish through the 18th century and much of the 19th century under a series of different editors and publishers. It went into decline towards the end of the 19th century and finally ceased general publication in September 1907. However, issues consisting of four pages each were printed in very small editions between late 1907 and 1922 in order to keep the title formally “in print”.—-Taken from Wikipedia.
