$3,000 · Offered by William Reese Company

THE CHARTER GRANTED BY THEIR MAJESTIES KING WILLIAM AND QUEEN MARY, TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE PROVINCE OF THE MASSACHUSETTS-BAY IN NEW-ENGLAND. [bound with:] ACTS AND LAWS, OF HIS MAJESTY'S PROVINCE ... A fine mid-18th-century collection of the laws of Massachusetts. This copy includes, as is often the case with this and earlier collected editions, the separately issued CHARTER (here bound first) and the full compilation of laws printed in 1742. Such compilations often are found with subsequent Massachusetts laws. Present here are two additional ACTS from 1743. A very good source for colonial legal, political, and social history, this copy bears a contemporary provenance inscription from Watertown, Massachusetts.
