Strangely the contents at rear of vol II, the last page lists The Brunswick Asylum Magazine and the sailor's Steam ship and lists the contents which are not bound in this book, not sure if a mistake or why this seems to be the only copy? The title page at front ONLY states "The Soldier's and new sailor's magazine and naval chronicle" but New Sailor's has been crossed out as it was a printing mistake or changed title. The monthly issues are titled The Soldier's Magazine and Military Chronicle).
