Detailed report that includes four folding maps. Hardbound in brown gilt-stamped cloth, 184pp, maps, including four folding maps at rear, some quite large. The report proves to be an interesting read, with the tone set in the first paragraph: "At different times and for long periods in its early existence, the province of New-York was disturbed by contentions with the neighboring colonies, respecting their intervening boundaries."

Contents very good to good with occasional light foxing. Maps are good due to occasional foxing or tears.
