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 The debates over the war with America are amazing historical references serving to frame the Revolutionary War through the eyes of the British.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. Still very readable. The last page of the text seems to end mid sentence as if this was excerpted from a larger text. A very scarce historical record of the beginnings of the Revolutionary War in VERY GOOD condition. No Publisher Given unknown

Two pamphlets. 6 pp with a blank rear endpaper; 10 pp with a blank rear endpaper. Both disbound from larger works with a single thread binding part II. Side folded. Two US government pamphlets regarding California and its potential admission to the Union as well as the minority report part II against the admission of California as a state. The first part proposes to make territory acquired with the treaty of peace with Mexico one state California although outlining potential land disputes with the state of Texas and its claims. Part II continues reports and debates on the recent land acquisitions alluding to potential problems but also containing the bill at the end that proposes to make California a state. It also describes in brief the vast dimensions of the proposed state. Much of this report derives from the then recent conclusion of the U.S.-Mexican War 1846-1848 and the territory gained at the end of the War. California officially gained statehood in September of 1850. Both in GOOD condition. Paper splitting along the spines in danger of becoming separated. General browning to the paper.
