Nicely engraved map bound in the March 1747 issue, which calls for a map of Italy. This map, however, is an 1810 issue by J. Wilkes, not the original 1747 map. Also includes a copper engraved plan of the historic Westminster Hall plus a detailed view of the scaffolding. Many outrageous articles including one proposing the use of daily electric shocks to vegetables to improve their growth and circulation.
