A complete and authentic issue of the Gentleman’s Magazine, London, March 1776, 48pp., disbound, VG. Tipped in is a unique map, “A new Projection of the Eastern Hemisphire of the Earth on a Plane, (shewing the proportions of its several parts nearly as on a globe), by J. Hardy at Eton College". Antique copperplate map by Thomas Bowen (1776), 9.25” x 8.25” tipped in the volume. This also issue includes a lengthy article (3+ pages) on Captain Cook and the: "Resolution's Voyage on Discovery to the Southern Hemisphere". Accompanying this article is a rare full page map titled: "Part of the Tropical Discoveries of the Resolution Sloop, Captain Cook in 1774, 5” by 8 1/4 “, is a bit irregular at the right margin and close-trimmed at the bottom affecting the border but not the map. And, lengthy text on: "Account of the Proceedings of the American Colonists since Passing the Boston Port Bill" includes talk on the taking of Quebec. Nice "resolve" from Congress regarding those who might "...obstruct & defeat the efforts of the United Colonies in the defence of their just rights..." plus more.
