• Lot Description
  A complete and authentic issue of “The London Magazine”, March 1775, 56pp., disbound. A full page engraving, titled A complete and authentic issue of “The London Magazine”, with a 2 page historical account of the Gallic settlement. the fortified Gallic hillfort that was besieged and conquered by Julius Caesar in 52 BCE. The defeat of the Gallic leader Vercingetorix at Alesia effectively ended Gallic independence and sealed the Roman conquest of Gaul. ... The first article, 2-1/2” pages, is “Authentic History of the Famous Rebel Pugatschew”. It describes his execution in depth, in part “Pugatichew ascended the scaffold by the means of a ladder; the three of his confederates who were to be hung, mounted the gallows by the same means, and the four were executed almost in the same instant. Pugatchew assisted to undress himself with great readiness. He was then stretched on the scaffold, and by a very singular mistake in the executioner, his head was first severed from his body, his hands and feet were afterwards cut off and shown to the spectators, before his head was exposed.  The moment this blunder was made, a person amongst the crowd, supposed to be one of his judges, called out to the executioner, and threatened him in such severe terms that it is generally believed the executioner will lose his tongue for his neglect.  The head of Pugatfchew was then stuck up on an iron spike, and the other parts of his body were severity exposed on the top of the pole fixed in the middle of the scaffold.  The three confederates doomed to be hung having suffered the sentence. ... The executions lasted till night finished the bloody spectacle”.
