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."
