About this Item

Sir William Alexander, who became Earl of Stirling, was given the grant to Nova Scotia in 1621 by his good friend James I. Had his planned Scottish colony succeeded, Alexander may have changed the course of English settlement in North America. This scarce work presents documentary evidence in support of Alexander's title to Nova Scotia. SABIN 9355. TPL 1764. LANDE 72. Dbd. Text tanned, some occasional foxing. Ink annotation to upper corner of titlepage. Very good.
