A propos de cet article

A WILLINGNESS FOR PEACE. Folio (12 inches). 22 George III, Chapter 46. General title leaf + pages 787-788. Royal coat of arms, headpiece ornament, and factotum initial. Text in Black Letter.

The Act also declared that the operation and effect of any prior Acts of Parliament, or parts thereof, relating to all or any of the American colonies or plantations, were to be repealed, annulled, made void, or suspended in order to conclude and establish a peace or truce. The Act paved the way for the signing of the Treaty of Paris, 1783 (on 3 September 1783) which recognized the independence of the United States of America and established a boundary between the United States and British North America. …
