    885 Rich (E. E.) Hupson’s BAY COMPANY 1670-1870, 3 vols., New York, 1961 £12 This is a definitive history of the Hudson’s Bay Company during 200 years of its existence. The aims and achievements of the company played a major part in the development of North America. The author has compiled this study from the archives of the Hudson’s Bay Record Society, the documents in the Public Record Office, the British Museum, the Biblioteque Nationale and Archives Nationales of France, and from private collections. He has combined the orderly handling of an immense amount of detail with a keen sense of the larger historical context—both economic and political so that the affairs of the company are presented in balanced and illuminating relation- ship to the changing times. 886 Richards (John) ANNUITIES ON Lives and for Limited Terms of Years: being Observations on What hath been lately advanced by divers Authors, tending to depreciate that Value of Estates on those Tenures.
