One of the front page Acts is: "An Act to Authorize a grant of Land to Stephen Monot, & others, inhabitants of Galliopolis, there in named." This town in Ohio was settled by French aristocrats who escaped the guillotine in pre-Revolutionary France.
Four pages, several tears at margins, a few archival mends on page 2, scattered foxing & edge chipping.
