Item description from seller

8vo. pp. 2 p.l., 292. full modern calf (some scattered foxing). First Edition. "The unrest in the Province of Quebec at this period and the endeavour of the American Continental Congress to draw the Canadians into the net of rebellion, so alarmed the home government that it passed the Quebec Act to make more effectual provision for the colony. By order-in-council the King had instructed the Advocate-General [Marriott], Attorney-General [Edward Thurlow], and Solicitor-General [Alexander Wedderburn] to prepare a general plan of civil and criminal law for the colony. It was laid before the King-in-Council, and a small number of copies were ordered to be printed for official use." (Lande) Marriott’s report, which apparently was privately printed after the passage of the Quebec Act, set forth his opposition to the restoration of French civil law and the granting of religious freedom, and his support for the complete assimilation of the French colonists and the encouragement of British settlement to promote economic development. Bound in at end is a folded copy of ‘The Gazetteer and New Daily Advertiser’, dated Thursday, June 9, 1774. It records Marriott’s examination in the Lower Assembly during the debates on the Quebec bill. Adams 74-55. Dionne II 791. JCB II 1975. Lande 601. Morgan p. 248. Sabin 44690. TPL 455. Vlach 523.…
