Articles Of Confederation and perpetual Union between the States of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts-Bay, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North-Carolina, South-Carolina and Georgia
No place, no date (ca. 1780s). Folio. 6 pp. Disbound; sheets toned and lightly foxed; shallow dampstaining in top edge; scattered small chipping and short closed tears along edges.
Evans tentatively attributed this printing to the Lancaster Press of John Dunlap (Evans 15620). We cannot identify the volume from whence these sheets were disbound, but the layout--minus some very small differences--exactly matches the Articles in the first edition of the Acts and Laws of the State of Connecticut, in America printed by Timothy Green, in 1784.
An important document and predecessor to the United States Constitution.
