Merger Delusion
Powerless under the country's constitution, Canadian municipal governments often find themselves in conflict with their provincial masters.

Marriages and Deaths from Richmond, Virginia Newspapers, 1780-1820

The notices of deaths are in alphabetical order, followed by the marriage notices in alphabetical order by groom. There is a separate index of brides. The newspaper name has been indicated by initials, the key to which is in the introduction.
