[Charles Agvent]

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE & THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION as 
published in THE ANNUAL REGISTER ... FOR THE YEAR 1776. London: J. 
Dodsley, 1779. Second Edition. Bound in contemporary calf-backed boards. 
Though not a First Edition, still an early eighteenth-century printing 
of one of the most desirable volumes of this prestigious series as this 
year contains two of the most important documents in American history. 
Where the text states "The history of the present ----- of --------- 
------------- is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations," 
someone has added in ink in an early hand "King of Great Britain." Early 
ink name crossed out on the title page, light to moderate foxing; pages 
255 to 258 in the second section lacking, otherwise complete with the 
entire text of the Declaration and the Articles present. Binding tight 
with some wear but easily Very Good. (#018517)        $750.00
