1796AQ18967London: Richard White 1796. 2 37pp 1. Uncut stitched as issued. Some creasing lightly spotted loss to foot of final leaf - not touching text. A printing with explanatory notes of the correspondence between George Villiers Earl of Jersey 1735-1805 his wife Frances Villiers Countess of Jersey 1753-1821 and clergyman Francis Randolph 1752-1831 concerning their involvement in a scandal surrounding the loss of letters belonging to the Princess of Wales. Randolph had been entrusted to deliver the letters by the Princess but being unable to complete his task had them returned via carriage. They disappeared in transit. Lady Jersey a mistress of the Prince of Wales was accused in the press of having intercepted them and of passing several to Queen Charlotte whom they disparaged. She denied the allegations and attempted to lay the blame on Randolph. The Earl of Jersey published the subsequent correspondence between Randolph and his wife in an attempt to clear her name. The matter was never satisfactorily resolved and Lady Jersey remained persona non grata in many circles. ESTC T1230. First edition. 8vo. Richard White unknown

180034359Newark: Printed by Matthias Day 1800. Title 1-456; i-xxii; 1-46. Errata sheet bound in. 1 vols. 8vo signed in fours. Full contemporary sheepskin border of blind-stamped dots on covers. Owners' signatures one contemporary and stamps. Some wear to joints and hinges generally browned dampstaining to preliminaries at gutter else a very good sturdy copy. A FIRST IN WOMEN'S AND BLACK SUFFRAGE. Title 1-456; i-xxii; 1-46. Errata sheet bound in. 1 vols. 8vo signed in fours. Notable on page 231 paragraph XI is a reiteration of legislation originally set fourth in the New Jersey Constitution in 1776 reading in part: "And be it enacted That all free inhabitants of this state of full age who are worth fifty pounds proclamation money and have resided within the county in which they claim a vote for twelve months immediately preceding the election shall be entitled to vote for all public officers."<br/><br/>Once dismissed as a possible oversight or sloppy wording on the part of its framers historians now believe that the phrase "all free inhabitants" intentionally extended the right to vote not only to women but to free blacks as well as aliens. In addition the act does include a property requirement only that the person be worth "fifty pounds proclamation money" which included cash. This short-lived legislation which was rescinded in 1807 makes New Jersey the first state to extend the right to vote citizens regardless of race or gender.

Vroom.'' Abraham Staats born c. 1665 was a younger son of New Netherland pioneers Abraham and Tryntie Wessels Staats. He joined other Albany residents in signing a loyalty oath to the King of England in 1699. In 1700 his sloop was carrying cargoes on the Hudson for the provincial government. However within a decade he had sold most of his Albany property and moved his family across the river to Staats lands near today's Stockport. He maintained a large farmstead and lived there for the remainder of his life. Col. Peter Dumont Vroom 1745-1831 represented Somerset County as an Assemblyman 179091 179496 and 181113 and served in the Legislative Council from 1798 to 1804 as a Federalist. His son would go on to become the ninth governor of New Jersey. This volume is the third compilation of the laws of New Jersey and the last of the colonial series ending during the tenure of Governor William Franklin. Evans 41911; Felcone 214.
