Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia
Published by the Virginia State Library in Richmond, this edition of the colonial legislature's journals, edited by H. R. McIlwaine and John Pendleton Kennedy, records proceedings of the House of Burgesses from 1619 onward for lawmakers and historians. The pictures are plain line engravings of the colony's seals and arms, showing a crowned king granting land to a kneeling figure beneath the words Virginia Quarta, plus a faint county map, useful for heraldic and emblematic motifs.
