Abstracts of commissions, attorneys' licenses, pardons, and reprieves, 1677-1770.

This volume contains typewritten abstracts of colonial commissions, licenses, pardons, reprieves, and other documents. It is a copy of a manuscript list or abstract compiled by Edmund B.

It is possible that the typescript was produced by the New York State Library, which bound the volume, but neither the transcriber nor the date the typescript was prepared is known.
