Part II begins with a folding Table of 'Meteorological Phenomena Observed in the Cupola of the Exchange at the Lower Part of Broad-Street in the City of New-York'. It prints the Address to the Society of its President Robert Livingston who deplores the fact that Americans "are habitually led to form exalted ideas of Britain and degrading ones of America." He rebuts this false notion.

Else Good. <br/><br/> The case is significant for its assertion of the primacy of the jury system in colonial America. Publication occurred to emphasize to New Yorkers "the pernicious Consequences" of British interference with local juries "by a Method entirely new unconstitutional and illegal."<br/> Forsey had sued Cunningham for an assault and battery; a jury of their peers found for Forsey and assessed damages against Cunningham. Unhappy with the large amount of damages Cunningham sought an appeal. He did not claim that the trial court committed any errors of law; he simply argued that the jury had misconstrued the facts. Allowing the appeal would have diminished the role of the jury in favor of appellate judges' assertions of their royal prerogatives. Nevertheless Lieutenant Governor Cadwalader Colden permitted Cunningham to appeal. New Yorkers in 1764 already angered by British control of local affairs found this interference with the role of the jury intolerable. They challenged Colden's decision to allow the appeal; in late 1765 the New York Assembly agreed. <br/>Shipton & Mooney 41438. Bristol B2464. NAIP w021834 6 including the AAS copy which is defective.

1713322213New York: William Bradford 1713. 688151-173175-245 i.e. 253pp. p.174 omitted in printing. Folio. Early 20th-century pebbled morocco spine gilt. Light wear to boards and extremities.

A major early New York imprint from the press of William Bradford the "pioneering printer of the English middle colonies" DAB and first printer of New York. Bradford 1663-1752 originally settled in Pennsylvania where he began operating a printing press in 1685 and a bookstore in 1688. Controversies within the Quaker community with Bradford supporting the dissident George Keith led to the temporary seizure of his types and paper in 1692 and in 1693 he moved to New York. The present documents are among the earliest official New York imprints.<br /> <br /> This present collection of THE LAWS. is the third collection of New York laws after those of 1694 and 1710 and covers legislation passed from 1691 to 1713. Laws herein include acts "for quieting and settling the Disorders that have lately happened within this Province" 1691 "for restraining and punishing Privateers and Pyrates" 1693 and 1698 and "against Jesuites and Popish Priests" 1700 as well as numerous acts "for Regulating Slaves" and one for "Baptizing them" 1706. The index reflects the odd pagination in the volume which skips from page 88 to page 155. This is due in part to the fact that they are a composite of Bradford's various separately issued official publications of New York laws. The two leaves following the titlepage are an index the present copy being comprised of individually printed pages pasted together to form one double-sided leaf. EVANS 1636 1637 1638.

Minor loss at folds affecting a few letters of text. About good. Printed indenture form completed in manuscript being the earliest known imprint for Whitestown New York just next to Utica. Previously the earliest known imprint was dated 1795 and as this form is dated in manuscript January 3 1795 it is almost certain that it was printed in or before 1794. The form is an indenture agreement completed between Amos Leavenworth and his wife Esther and Samuel W. Baldwin and his wife also named Esther selling a tract of land for the sum of £209 ten shillings and eight pence. In manuscript the parcel is indicated as "that certain tract of land situate in Schuyler Town aforesaid and is part of Great Lot No. Seven in the first division of Ledagueda Patent on the North Side of the Mohawk River beginning at the Northeasterly corner of said lot and running thence Northeasterly along the north end of said lot one half the distance across the land conveyed to said Leavenworth by William Hallock thence Southwesterly in a straight line parrallel sic to the line of Cosby's Manor so far as to contain sixty six acres and two thirds of an acre of land when a line is un at right angles to Cosby's Manor." It is signed by Amos and Esther Leavenworth and witnessed by Joan Platt and William Hallock. The deed is certified on the verso with a lengthy manuscript note by Hugh White local judge for Herkimer County. O.P. Easton unknown books

Greenleaf reprinted all three volumes together in 1798. <br/> Greenleaf's Preface explains that he had been "engaged to publish a cheap Edition of the Revised Laws". A 1789 folio edition published by Hugh Gaine had been too expensive for the folks. Volume I which "contains all the Laws to the eleventh Session has one Session more than is comprised in the first Volume of Gaine's Edition." He emphasizes that "The Types and Paper were manufactured in this State.The Types are not so perfectly Regular as those from the London Foundaries which have been improving for Centuries-- but no Cash went to London for them-- and our infant Manufactures ought to be encouraged that they also may improve." <br/>Evans 24602 32555.

Revolutionary Acts-- such as raising five Continental Battalions Lotteries regulating the militia treatment of deserters-- are included. Several Acts concerning New York's efforts gradually to eliminate slavery are here: barring slave importations after June 1 1785 for purposes of sale penalizing purchase of slaves or trading or selling liquor to slaves; criminal slave codes and other laws reflecting the existence of slavery in New York. Acts concerning Quakers respect their scruples against bearing arms. Many civil criminal governmental and commercial laws are printed all with a detailed index. <br/>Evans 22012. II Harv.

The first volume of collected New York laws printed after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and the second issued after the American Revolution the 1789 compilation contains laws passed 1778 through 1789 regulating such topics as governance mortgages debtors land slaves New York City criminal and marital law rape liquor and exports. Also includes an interesting law in King's county Brooklyn and Queen's county Queens establishing a 40 shilling fine to those carriages traveling from the City of New York that fail to give right of way to carriages going toward the city. Also includes the Constitution of the State of New York passed April 20 1777. The laid-in notes are quite interesting. The first is a contract between New York City Mayor Richard Varick and Hugh Gaine dated February 7 1792. It directs the city treasurer to pay Gaine 73 pounds for "printing an emission of notes for small change." Issued two months before the establishment of the U.S. Mint this note is essentially an authorization by the State of New York to issue fractional currency. The U.S. Constitution prohibited states from issuing paper money but it appears that a few states and municipalities issued notes or at least authorized them in the early 1790s. Backed by the faith and credit of the issuer these notes f. unknown books
