Complete issue of The Gentleman's Magazine from September 1775, 5.25 x 8.25, printed in London by Sylvanus Urban. The periodical contains several significant pieces related to the Revolutionary War: an extraordinary diagram entitled "Plan of the Redoubt and Intrenchment on the Heights of Charles Town (commonly called Bunker's Hill) opposite Boston, in New-England, attacked and carried by his Majesty's Troops, June 17, 1775"; the Congressional Resolution of July 31, 1775, rejecting Lord North’s Conciliatory Proposal that attempted to divide the colonies and weaken the move towards independence; and the text of a letter from George Washington to Lt. Gen. Gage, regarding the inhumane treatment of prisoners of war. Disbound from a larger volume and in very good to fine condition.
