$249.80

Description:

Offered for sale is a rare, original primary source document: the Report of Commissioners Appointed to Settle the Line Between New-Hampshire and Maine, dated 1828. This document details the legislative efforts following the mandate of June 30, 1827, to officially survey and mark the dividing line between the two states.

The report provides a deep historical account of the territorial disputes that spanned decades, including references to the 1740 decree by King George II and the subsequent surveys led by commissioners such as William King. It contains detailed technical descriptions of the boundary markers and survey routes, making it a critical artifact for historians, genealogists, and collectors of New England ephemera.

Condition Note:

A remarkable feature of this copy is that several pages remain "unopened"—printed together and not yet cut for binding. This indicates that the item has remained in its original, unfinished state since it was printed, providing a unique look into 19th-century printing practices and preserving the document's integrity for the collector.
