objects of the Reference. All which the Committee most humbly submit
to Your Lordship's great wisdom. Wm. Smith, Chairman.

That's about it on this page, there is also a lenghty index in the back of
the
book, quoting every name mentioned in any of the resolutions. If you
looking
for a specific name, you may write to me, but I will answer only with
yes or no, not giving details, just don't have the time for that.
The eBay auction still runs for two or three days, after that the book
will not be available to me any longer.
Regards,
John the-hessian
