According to Larnard this history "ranks with Smith’s Virginia and Hutchinson’s Massachusetts as one of the worthiest examples of historical literature produced in later colonial times." Sabin notes that Smith based this work "chiefly on the Provincial Laws the Minutes of the Council the Journals of the General Assembly and other government records" and drew heavily on the works of Charlevoix and on Colden's "History of the Five Indian Nations. About three-quarters of the text is devoted to the colony's history up to the year 1732 while the rest describes the territory and provides geographical demographic and political information. The son of one of New York's most prominent lawyers judges and legal educators Smith 1728-93 showed an early talent for writing. At age 24 he compiled the first collection of the "Laws of New-York from the year 1691 to 1751 inclusive" 1752 with his friend William Livingston and the following year he co-produced New York's first magazine "Independent Reflector." According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography the present history "served him well over the years giving him a wide reputation as an authority on the colony and he was often referred to as 'the historian of New York'; 20 years later he began a second volume published posthumously." A Loyalist during the American Revolution Smith emigrated to Canada after the war. Former owner Edwin Holden 1861-1906 was a prominent American bibliophile who collected Americana English literature 16th and 17th century printed books and French illustrated books. After the Grolier Club was established in 1884 it soon became apparent that the country's few established hand binders were overtaxed in providing repairs and rebinding for the club members' rapidly accumulating acquisitions. As a consequence in 1895 Grolier members led by Robert Hoe and Holden along with other wealthy collectors instituted the Club Bindery in order to attract European craftsmen to provide close to home fine quality binding work rivalling what was available abroad. The Club Bindery was in operation until 1909 with Hoe being its most influential manager and client. It provided bindings that tended to be traditional in style--though frequently with elaborate decoration--and that lived up to its patrons' expectations in terms of excellence. The first members of the staff of the Club Bindery were the Englishmen R. W. Smith and Frank Mansell. They were subsequently joined by a number of French binders chief among them being Leon Maillard who had worked previously for Cuzin Gruel and Marius-Michel. Holden served as president of Grolier Club in 1906 and was the first president of the Club Bindery. Printed for Thomas Wilcox unknown
