The Charter and Supplemental Charter of the Hudson's Bay Company is a historical document that outlines the founding and expansion of one of the oldest trading companies in the world. The Hudson's Bay Company was established in 1670 by a group of English merchants who received a royal charter from King Charles II to trade in the Hudson Bay region of North America.The document includes the original charter, as well as the supplemental charter that was granted to the company in 1869. The supplemental charter expanded the company's territory to include the entire area drained by rivers flowing into Hudson Bay, and gave the company exclusive trading rights in this vast region.The charter and supplemental charter provide a fascinating insight into the early days of European exploration and trade in North America, as well as the struggles and successes of the Hudson's Bay Company over the centuries. The document also sheds light on the complex relationship between European traders and the indigenous people of the region, who played a crucial role in the fur trade that was the company's main source of revenue.Overall, the Charter and Supplemental Charter of the Hudson's Bay Company is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on the early history of North America and the role of European traders in shaping the continent's economic and cultural landscape.And whereas the said original charter similarly provided for the election in each and every year between the first and last day of November of seven of the Company to be a Committee of the Company for one whole year then next ensuing, and required the Governor or the Deputy-Governor of the Company for the time being to be present at each, such election, and required the persons so elected to be a Committee of the Company, before being admitted to execute their office to take a corporal oath that they and every of them should well and faithfully perform their office of Committee.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
