Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles documents relating to the colonial history of the State of New Jersey from 1709 to 1719. The documents collected in this volume are records of the transition from the governance of Lord Cornbury, who viewed New Jersey residents as subservient subjects whose very existences belonged to the Crown, to the governance of Robert Hunter, who recognized the colonists as free people with rights.
