Description: Colonial Data from Massachusetts 1636 to 1671 Four Vols. being: Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex County Vols 1 thru Vol 4: Vol 1 - 1636 to 1656Vol 2 - 1656 to 1662Vol 3 - 1662 to 1667Vol 4 - 1667 to 1671 There were 300 (unnumbered) copies of this edition printed, and the four volumes on offer are all ex-lib with the usual markings on spine and title page. All volumes have heavy tape holding boards in place, and there are paste-downs on inside front boards and some in rear. The entire text blocks appear to be in VG condition with the exception of vol 4 where some water stain creeps in at the gutter from about pg 379 to pg 513. Looking at eBay sales there seem to be none that have sold recently, and there are bunches listed from $60 to $100 per volume so likely wishful thinking there. I have read the better part of one volume, and it was fascinating from the view it gives of society at the time, swearing, drinking, fornicating and defaming galore. Religious differences and offenses, border issues and estate valuations, thefts, wandering livestock, whipping 10 stripes or fine, etc., etc. The historical value is immense in detail with a total of over 2,000 pages! For historical research, genealogy, or writing your next novel. Shipping weight: 10 lbs.
