Illustration of books; Newspapers -- Illustrations
Within a year the success of the _Gentleman's Magazine_ brought into
being the _London Magazine_, and, in 1739, the _Scots Magazine_,
published in Edinburgh. In the second volume of the latter, under date
March, 1740, there is a larger version of the woodcut of the taking of
Porto Bello, already described. The account also is given, quoted,
however, from the _London Evening Post_, and not from the _Daily Post_,
where the woodcut appeared. Maps, plans, and views of places
occasionally occur in other volumes of the _Scots Magazine_. In vol.
iii. there is a plan of the harbour, city, and forts of Cartagena, and
the number for July, 1743, contains a plan of the battle of Dettingen.
