M&D p. 438: Gentlemen's Magazine

[David Payne]

I'm clearly reading the wrong book, ATD being all the rage these days! But here's a real stumper (for me at least) from M&D, p. 438: “According to this,” Dixon soothingly, as if ‘were a Fan, waving a Page, enclos’d with the letter, clipped from the Gentlemen’s Magazine of the December previous, “there were, it seems, ten, competing for the job,- Betts, Bevis, Short...so on. Any of those names light a Match?“
 
I'm trying to locate a copy of the page that Dixon is waving about. Three questions:
1. This scene occurs in late February, 1765, right? 
2. Is this supposed to the Gentleman's Magazine? 
3. Has anyone ever located a copy of the 1764 edition of the Gentleman’s Magazine or the specific page that Dixon references?
