About This Item
London: Printed by Luke Hind, 1757. 88,4,89-96pp. Quarto. Contemporary reversed calf, red leather label. A bit rubbed. Internally clean and crisp. Very good. This collection of statutes covers a very broad range, both explicit restrictions on Quakers and many more subtle ones, including acts for encouraging the growth of coffee in the American colonies, and others relative to colonial finances, e.g. "An Act for the more easy Recovery of Debts in his Majesty's Plantations and Colonies in America..." in which Quakers are treated differently under the law. SABIN 14370.
