Manuscript volume with notes from the House of Burgesses' Journal [manuscript] 1651-1652.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647964546

These notes, copied from manuscript journals no longer in existence, begin with the articles of agreement of Governor Sir William Berkeley and his Council with the Commissioners of the Commonwealth of England, 12 March 1651. They end abruptly six pages later, the remainder of the leather-bound volume being blank. It is presumed that they were made in connection with Query XIII (on Virginia's Constitution) of the Notes on the State of Virginia. It is possible, however, that the extracts date from 1774; precedents from the Commonwealth period are cited in A Summary View of the Rights of British America.
