A complete and authentic issue of the Gentleman’s Magazine, July 1750, 48pp., disbound, near fine. From the title page is a large portrait engraving followed by a two page report, “Hannah Snell, the Female Soldier.” In aprt, “She put on a suit of her brotherin-law's apparel, on November.23, 1745, left her sister without communicating her design, and went to Coventry, where she enlisted herself in Guise’s regiment of foot, and march'd with it to Carlisle....” Hannah’s story is quite unique and worthy of research.
