Description: THE PENNY MAGAZINE January 27, 1838 CANADA and the Other British Colonies in North America This is a paper which is over 180 years old. It is printed in a small format, measuring 7 by 11 in size, and is 8 pages long. The paper came from a bound volume and has typical minor disbinding marks at the spine, but is otherwise in excellent and attractive condition. This issue was the first of a two-part series on Canada published by the magazine. This part gives a history of Canada up through the time of this paper. It gives a good deal of space to the explorations of Cartier; discusses the French and Indian War (though not called that here), and the effects of the American Revolution on Canada; and traces the origins and current status of the disputes between the British government and its Canadian French subjects. The paper has three illustrations: * Death of General Wolfe B. West * Falls of Montmorenci * Map of Canada [3x5 inches in size, showing the District of St. Francis in the east, and the Newcastle District of Upper Canada in the west.] ***************************** Background on this publication: The Penny Magazine was a weekly 8-page paper put out by Londons Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Throughout the 1830s, an American edition was very popular in the United States, only to dwindle into extinction during the following decade. The paper did not cover the current news of the day, and carried no advertising. Instead, the Penny Magazine provided excellent essays on a wide array of subjects, such as architecture, science, geography and natural history. The paper was compact in size, and most issues were illustrated with several fine woodcut engravings. 373 [gsp10226] _gsrx_vers_1680 (GS 9.8.3 (1680))
