The title, "By the King, a proclamation," names the form of the original: a royal decree printed as a broadside and posted for public reading in the king's name. This 1975 halftone reproduction, tinted and taken from the book *To Set a Country Free*, shows the broadside as it appeared on page 5. The catalog dates it to 1762 and tags it with "Peace," which places it in the final years of the Seven Years' War, the conflict known in America as the French and Indian War. That war ended with the 1763 Treaty of Paris, so the broadside reflects the period when peace terms were being pursued.
