Signed by George Jaffrey at the bottom with the remains of a wax seal present. George Jaffrey Esquire was part of a prominent New Hampshire family who essentially held an oligarchy in the province. They and a few others sought to separate New Hampshire from the province of Massachusetts and through various machinations and political maneuverings did so. George Jaffrey eventually became treasurer of New Hampshire. In the run up to and during the American Revolutionary War Jaffrey was a staunch Loyalist asserting that it was just a few people causing the turmoil and that eventually the colonies would remain with England. Despite his beliefs and the danger it caused him he held his post and remained in Portsmouth New Hampshire during the war. GOOD condition. Horizontal and vertical fold creases present with a few small tears along the folds. A 1 inch triangular area torn off from the upper edge. Uneven toning.

1777000205No Publisher Given 1777. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. A Parliamentary Chronicle: or accounts of the proceedings and debates of the House of Commons upon the opening of the present sessions. This spans from October 30 1776 to February 25 1777. No author. These proceedings open with an address by King George to parliament regarding the American Revolution. It begins "Nothing could have afforded me so much satisfaction as to have been able to inform you at the opening of this session that the troubles which have so long distracted my colonies in North America were at an end; and that my unhappy people recovered from their delusion had delivered themselves from the oppression of their leaders and returned to their duty .". After this address various members of parliament respond some with support for the war and others advocating granting America its independence. Some of these speeches go into detail in regard to troops morale conduct propaganda in the US press especially propaganda by General Gage. Also discussed within are Britainn's defenses against Spain and France Jamaica and many other interesting topics. The debates over the war with America are amazing historical references serving to frame the Revolutionary War through the eyes of the British. This book has been re-bound in blue cloth with the title in gilt in a small strip of leather on the spine. VERY GOOD condition with light soiling light fading and moderate scuffing mostly noticeable to the top and bottom of the spine. Light bumping and edgewear. Pages clean and solid but browning.
