Massachusetts, General Court. Resolves of the General Assembly of the State of Massachusetts-Bay . Watertown/Boston: various printers, including Benjamin Edes, John Gill, and Thomas & John Fleet, 1776-1778. Five separate publications of Resolves printed during the critical Revolutionary War period, all stab sewn or disbound, edges untrimmed, with some faults, comprising the following ESTC entries: W33204; W33209, W32210 [bound together]; W33213 [incomplete, lacking signatures L-P]; W33214 [without the Index]; and W33215 [with I2, the conjugate to I1, intact and present, see ESTC W33216, note]. As the state of Massachusetts grappled with the British, it handed down many rulings relevant to the rebellious cause, including approbation for new militia groups, sustainment for others, budgets for clothing the new army, authorization for the deployment Massachusetts units in neighboring states, and refinements of the military draft.
