How did a small state steer through revolution? In these pages, Rhode Island speaks in its own working voice: orders, votes, petitions, and official exchanges from 1780 to 1783. Paperwork. Power. A nation forming. Records of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Volume IX gathers the Rhode Island legislative proceedings of the Rhode Island 1780s, presenting a primary source document collection drawn from the state house and council chambers. Read as colonial government records and American Revolution state papers, it traces wartime administration, finance, defence, and the daily pressure of governing in the New England colonial era. For readers who love American colonial documents, the texture is immediate: decisions made line by line, responsibilities assigned, and policy argued into being, alongside revolutionary war correspondence that shows how local priorities met continental demands. It rewards browsing as much as study. Follow a surname, a shoreline town, or a disputed statute, and watch public life take shape under strain. Edited by John Russell Bartlett, these pages remain a foundational historical archives reference for colonial legal history, academic history research reference, and the close work of genealogy and local history. It belongs beside the great state papers of the era. Casual readers will feel the human stakes in routine votes; collectors will value the steadiness of the record and Bartlett's care here. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
