Matching library cloth with gilt-lettered morocco spine labels some chipping old institutional rubberstamps on title leaf scattered spotting Good. These are the first editions of Greenleaf's printing of the Laws. The third volume which issued in 1797 prints the laws of the sixteenth through the twentieth sessions; AAS apparently does not own it. The long list of Subscribers printed in the second volume includes the great men of the times: Aaron Burr George and De Witt Clinton several Livingstons Elias Hicks and a host of other attorneys. Greenleaf reprinted all three volumes together in 1798. 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."

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
