Description

1794 1st ed Wonderful Magazine Cyclops Kraken Chinese Gunpowder Myths Dragons

“Daniel Buckle…has a hen which lays three eggs every day; and what is very extraordinary, each has two yolks and two whites, with a separation in the middle; twelve of them were put under another hen, and however improbable it may seem, they absolutely produced twenty-four beautiful cocks.” – Wonderful Magazine, (vol. 2, p. 412)

The ‘Wonderful Magazine’ is a fascinating periodical filled with bizarre stories and strange tales ranging from witch hunts, mythology, fortune-telling, and fantastical events! The contents, much of which are hardly truthful, are akin to the modern tabloid, but this magazine was much more adventurous for its time.

The contents of this tome are astounding, including:Natural history of the deep-sea Kraken, the sea eel

A nation of Cyclops, one-eyed people in Ethiopia

The preservation of a three-eyed girl, each eye being a different color

Giants in Patagonia

Displays of flaming mountains in Iceland (volcanos!)

Manner in which poison is procured from a poison-tree

Discovery of demons in lead-mines

Chinese Arts and Sciences

Gunpowder, sailing, government nobility

This section approaches the Chinese as an ignorant and incapable people. For example, “They had also gunpowder and guns when the Europeans came amongst them, but hardly knew how to use them.” (p.50)The discovery of a merman, or Triton, who was swept up fishermen and killed in ExeterSighting of two dragons in England, in the year 1223 – they fought each other for a whole dayAccount of a woman who was fed for 6 months by faeriesAnd more!

Volume one of this original was the only volume to have the title of “The Wonderful Magazine.” All subsequent volumes include the world ‘new’ on the title. (BM Catalogue). However, this first edition volume is still desirable. This work includes 7 full-page illustrations.
