Perhaps you should try some spelling variations:
22great britain » xgreat britain, great brittain, great britains
zgreat britain » xgreat britain, great brittain, great britains
des colonies » her colonies
et colonies » her colonies, les colonies, ant colonies
_ colonies » _ colonial

Try widening your search to All Fields.

You may be able to get more results by adjusting your search query.

• If you are trying to use Boolean operators, they must be ALL CAPS: %((22great britain) OR (((zgreat britain) OR (great britain)))) %((((des colonies) OR (_ colonies))) OR (et colonies))%22.
• The words AND, OR and NOT may confuse the search; try adding quotes: "%((22great britain) or (((zgreat britain) or (great britain)))) %((((des colonies) OR (_ colonies))) or (et colonies))%22".
• Adding a wildcard symbol may retrieve word variants: %((22great britain) or (((zgreat britain) or (great britain)))) %((((des colonies) OR (_ colonies))) or (et colonies))%22*.
