The Four Instruments
The Pledge of 1779, the Proclamation of 1784, Dorchester’s Order of 1789 and Simcoe’s Register Proclamation of 1796: each in its own words, with the phrases that matter picked out, what it did, and the Nation’s reading. What the four do together, and what is deliberately outside them. On the web the sheets unroll one by one, the seals stamp, and a tap brings any instrument forward.
