KING GEORGE II (ENGLAND). Manuscript Document signed: "George R" as King, 2p (front and verso), 9½x16½. No place, no date. Boldly signed above title. Document titled "Abstract of the Foregoing List". A list, by names of unit commanders, of the "half pay per diem" stipulated for various military units. Subtotals for the list are 9 pounds, 1 schilling, 10 pence on the front and 16 pounds, 9 schillings, and no pence on verso. "Half-pay" was the designation for military personnel retired and/or no longer on active duty. The second in the Hannoverian line of British monarchs, George II (b. 1683) reigned from 1727-1760. He was the last British king to command troops in the field, a victory over the French at Dettingen in 1743. George II's reign did much to consolidate the practice of constitutional monarchy: a king deferring to a Cabinet responsible to Parliament. He also presided over victories against France in India and North America, and also the defeat at Culloden (1745) of the last Jacobite rebellion (on behalf of the former Stuart rulers). Lightly soiled, mostly in left margin. Horizontal folds. Overall, fine condition.
