Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Hardcover. Full leather. Scuffed calf with raised cords on the spine, elaborate but chipped gold decoration. Hinges cracked but both boards still attached by cords. Engraved bookplate on inside front cover with coat of arms and the name Lord Dinorben. Early ownership name 'Edw'd Hughes 1783' on first blank page. Frontispiece portrait of George Washington. Large moisture stain to bottom half of frontispiece portrait and title page. Conspicuous high-tide line across the middle of both pages, but hardly noticeable on either side of it. 472 pages + 1 page list of Presidents of Congress and 3 pages of ads for other Stockdale titles. More recent ownership name at the bottom of the title page, illegible. Some pen notes on rear endpapers. Contents begin with the now nearly forgotten Declaration of Rights, written over Peyton Randolph's name, resolved at the Continental Congress in Sept, 1774. It asserts their right to 'life, liberty, and property,' their legal English citizenship, which includes the right to participate in Legislative Council. It asserts their right to peacefully assemble, that the Crown keeping a standing army is against the law, and the the branches of government be independent of each other. The next item is the October 1774 Non-importation Agreement, signed by all the members of the Continental Congress at that time including John Adams and George Washington. This was the first colony-wide boycott of British goods, following the 1768 Boston Non-Importation Agreement and shortly on the heels of the Boston Tea Party (December 1773). The final of the pre-Declaration papers is the 'Last Petition to the King' from Sept 1775, signed by a much longer roster of Continental Congressmen, including John Hancock, John Adams, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson (listed incorrectly as a Pennsylvania delegate), and others. The pagination of the book begins with the Declaration of Independence; then the Articles of Confederation; then the Constitutions of the 13 Colonies. The US Constitution itself had not yet been written. When this book was published, the Colonies were still operating under the loose framework of the Articles of Confederation. 
The Treaties section of the book contains the Treaty of Amity and Commerce with France (1778) and the 1782 Treaty with the Netherlands. On the owners of this book. Lord (Baron) Dinorben, William Lewis Hughes. 1767-1852. Welsh. Was the owner of the largest copper mine in Europe (Parys Mountain), and member of Parliament from 1802-1831. The signature on the first blank page, Edw'd Hughes is his father, the Reverend Edward Hughes, who was likely the original owner of this book, since the date is the same and the publication date, and young William was only 15 at the time.
