Group of About 20 British Acts of Parliament Relating to America

Pamphlet format, small folio, disbound. Five acts lacking separate titles, but complete, appears to be two extra tittle pages, a few tears and corner folds, one act with margin tear, not affecting text, minor some soiling; otherwise very good. This is an interesting collection of Parliamentary Acts relating to America during the reign of George III. While most of the acts are from the colonial period, there is also some Revolutionary War material. There are several acts concerning the importation of rice from South Carolina and Georgia, and others that relate to importation of wheat, beaver skins and tea into the colonies. Others address the quartering of troops in the colonies, as well as, better pay for soldiers, and dealing with mutiny and desertion. Additionally, several acts refer to a continuation of the right of the king to secure and detain people charged with or suspected of "high treason", and for the exchange of American prisoners brought to Great Britain.
