Hi,

I need some information concerning an old book (1750) my wife found
in her
grandparents boxes when they moved recently. I thought someone in
this section could help or let me know a more approp. place to get
information.

The book is leather bound and printed in 1750. It is titled "The
Charter
Granted By His Majesty King Charles II to the Govenernor & Company of
the
English Colony of Connecticut in New-England in America". 

It contains the charter and all the laws in 1750 and is about 360
pages, some
added laws are taped in the book from 1760/61. I want to research and
find
out more about
it. How to preserve it, if it is worth anything and would the state
be
interested in it for their archives etc.

Also, an 1806 document setting out a town of Moorland Manor is folded
between
the pages.

Can anyone offer me some advice or more information about these
documents?
They are real of that I am certain.

Please E-Mail me at America On Line MikeL99 (that's an "L" not a
number
one.). THANK YOU for your help.
