London, Printed for J. Almon, 1772, First Edition. 22 cm; 2 volumes, viii, 404, [4]; iv, 342; folding table. Full calf with leather labels. Volume 1 rebacked; volume 2 joints starting. Labels unmatched--apparently one volume was sent to the binder for rebacking without sending the other as a model. Extremities scuffed. Fine bright copy. Important reference containing the text of all of Great Britain's international trade acts and commercial treaties. The treaties include settlements of the various French and Indian Wars (King William's War 1697, Queen Anne's War 1713, King George's War 1748, and the Seven Years War that ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763), as well as the settlements of European conflicts such as the War of the Spanish Succession (ended at the Peace of Utrecht, 1713), the War of the Austrian Succession (1748). It also includes the text of the Slave Act of 1713 (expanding the legal limits of the trade), details concerning the conversion to Sterling of French Canadian paper money (1766), and one of the earliest statements of conflict over the Falkland Islands (1771). References: Kress, 6848.
