A report, reading in part: "The poor men who suffered at the meadows with Colonel Washington recommend to your favour as they were disabled in the service of their country...". This is very early & rather unusual mention of George Washington, being just 23 years old. The additional high points in this issue are first an article headed: "Gov. Dinwiddie's Speech to the Assembly of Virginia" in which he relates various reports from the French & Indian War, including mention of "...general Braddock, commander in chief of all his majesty's forces on this continent..." and others. The very first article in this magazine: "Account of the British Settlements in N. America" which is continued from a previous issue & takes over 3 1/2 pages. Among other items of interest in this magazine are: "A Message from his Excellency Arthur Dobbs, Esq., Governor of North Carolina, to the General Assembly held at Newburn (New Bern)," "A Particular Account of the Death of Mr. Professor Richmann...who was Killed Whilst he was Making an Electrical Experiment" which also includes two illustrations. "Journal of Public Transactions in America," an article which begins: "In the instruction given by Somerset County in Virginia to the representatives in the assembly, is the following passage..."; a full back page is a chart of: "Each Day's Price of Stocks in July, 1755" and much more. The American map called for is lacking. The page numbers are 244-335, plus one each a title page of St Johns Gate. With full title/index page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate. Bound with June 1755 having a highlight of the dispute between the Assembly and the Governor of Pennsylvania. Speeches of Indian chiefs and a nice description of shells with an illustration.

Had they visited in a four-month period, the sentence was to have one?s ear cut off, 39 lashes and seizure of assets and exclusion from government.
