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.
