1775 to 1781 Revolutionary War Years "Acts of Assembly Province of Pennsylvania" With An Early Printed "Declaration of Independence" & "Articles of Confederation" & More...
1782-Dated, Acts of Assembly, Province of Pennsylvania for September 30, 1775 and September 29, 1781, Large Volume, entitled, "Acts of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," Printed and sold by Francis Bailey, Market Street, Philadelphia, 1782, internally Choice Very Fine.
The first section includes a complete printing of the "Declaration of Independence," the "Pennsylvania Constitution" and the "Articles of Confederation of the United States of America." This large volume measures 12.25 x 8.25" with 527 pages plus an 8 page index and contains the laws for the Province of Pennsylvania passed between September 30, 1775 and September 29, 1781, comprising the vast majority of the Revolutionary War period. It includes many early Revolutionary War period laws regarding acts of treason, oaths of allegiance, punishments for counterfeiters, and the borrowing of five million Continental Dollars! There is also an act for the creation of the American Philosophical Society (of which Benjamin Franklin was its first president). There is an Act providing a Tax on the "importation of Negros and Mulattos after July 4th 1776."
This important, historic volume has its original leather board covers and the spine, which are worn and bumped, having a small 2.5" x 1.5" patch of the upper left front cover darkened and missing some of the surface leather in that spot. The interior is basically fresh, bright and clean, with some light expected toning and a few minor marginal stains. This is a wonderful and extremely historic, Revolutionary War record on Pennsylvania with many extremely essential American documents within. A highly important original source volume in superior quality, being an important opportunity for historians and collectors.
