Octavo, 7 1/4" x 4 3/4." pp. 40. Removed from a book of pamphlets. Two stab holes present. Missing 2 leaves -- pp. 3-6. Untrimmed, slightly frayed edges. Pages tanned. Occasional ink marginalia and notation sign "^". Some spotting and foxing, but text easily readable. No copy appears to have come to auction since 1927. Worldcat finds but two copies in libraries worldwide. (Sabin, 17299). Concerns the protracted land dispute between Pennsylvania and Connecticut over the Western Reserve Territory, land now known as Ohio. Includes a history of the disputes, which stretched back to 1662 when King Charles II granted the land to both colonies. Sporadic physical and bureaucratic warfare ensued until 1800, when the land was ceded to Pennsylvania. The author, Tench Coxe, serving as the Secretary of the Land-Office for Pennsylvania included relevant documents. (Wikipedia).
