Published Under the Authority of the Legislature by Virtue of an Act Approved April 4 1871. Trenton: John L. Murphy 1877. With a new introduction and new original material by Paul Axel-Lute by Paul Axel-Lute Collection Development Librarian Rutgers School of Law Library Newark. xii xxxiii 1556 pp. Reprinted 2005 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584776741; ISBN-10: 1584776749. Hardcover. New. $350. The Revision of 1877 satisfied an 1871 act of the Legislature to "revise simplify arrange and consolidate" all the general and permanent public statutes of New Jersey." It is valuable today chiefly as a tool for tracing the history of legislation. As Axel-Lute observes in his introduction "there are nearly seven hundred current sections in New Jersey Statutes Annotated for which the oldest source cited in the historical note is the Revision of 1877. To trace these sections back to earlier sources the researcher must use marginal notes and enactment date information in the 1877 work" iii. In addition to his informative introduction Axel-Lute has added a detailed table of contents a feature that wasn't included in the original work. unknown books

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 This short-lived legislation which was rescinded in 1807 makes New Jersey the first state to extend the right to vote citizens regardless of race or gender.

1962690511962. Newark NJ: February 5 1962 to September 21 1965. Newark NJ: February 5 1962 to September 21 1965. Daily Record of a Police Officer in Newark New Jersey in the Early 1960s Manuscript. Newark New Jersey. Personal Logbook of a Newark New Jersey Police Officer. Newark NJ February 5 1962-September 21 1965. 500 pp. Thumb-tabbed index. Folio 13-3/4" x 8-1/2". Three-quarter cloth over contrasting pebbled cloth raised bands and faded gilt ornaments and title Record to spine. Some rubbing to extremities with light wear to spine ends and corners heavier wear to fore-edges of boards. Text in neat hand to rectos and versos of all 500 pages. $650. This privately compiled record allows us to trace the daily work life of a police officer in Newark New Jersey in the years immediately preceding the riots of 1967. At this time Newark was coping with deindustrialization migration of the white middle class to the suburbs and an influx of poor African Americans who were confronted with housing and job discrimination. At the same time the composition of the city's government and police force was predominantly white. Compiled with great care it as both a log book and diary. Here is a list of typical entries: "Responded to Police Headquarters on a call from Lt. O'Leary of the night bureau. From there with Det. Thran to N.Y.C. to pick up prisoner" "Assigned to the New York Police Academy for school" "On duty with Det. Rolleri Lt. Pichel working desk in author's absence" "Assigned in uniform at 5:30am for detail at Newark Airport" "Attending seminar at Rutgers New Brunswick" "Returned to duty in the 1st squad from prosecutor's office" and "Home for working Saturday." He had a few interesting assignments. He was part of a "Special Detail guarding President Kennedy at Columbus Day Parade" and was part of a detail to "guard Sen. Humphrey" when he visited the city. However most of the entries chronicle crimes apprehensions arrests and responses to complaints. Many of these are cases of vandalism petty theft low-level violence and other "quality of life" issues that afflict cities in decline. unknown books

Samuel Allison 1739-1791 was a Burlington attorney who had an interest in both politics and the law. In 1762 he was commissioned as one of the surrogates for West Jersey and was put to work compiling a new edition of provincial laws which is the current volume and covers the period from 1702 to 1776. Allison was a Quaker who opposed slavery and secession from the British Empire. He worked throughout his life to end slavery and became a spokesperson for a sizeable Quaker community in New Jersey. The present work includes coverage of relief of the poor raising money for public buildings preventing the waste of timber and the regulation of slaves.

Joints cracked; spine tips perished; boards scuffed and bumped along the edges. Some browning and foxing as expected; faint marginal dampstains; edges of first and last few leaves a little brittle; overall internally nice and clean. <br/><br/>Provenance: An early inscription on flyleaf reads This book is the property of Abraham Staats and lent to me in the 4th Day of August 1786 Peter D. 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.

183823980No place but Burlington Iowa 1838. Pen ink and watercolour map of Cumberland County with the properties of D. Parvin and D. Harris and numerous towns located the demarcation line between marsh and solid ground marked and the routes and names of all the main rivers and creeks shown some roads marked in pencil and the route between Salem Salem Co. and the tip of Cape May marked with a purple dotted line. An attractive map of Cumberland County in southern New Jersey.<br/> <br/>The Parvin property is identified as being on the southern bank of the Cohansey River in Fairfield Township. The Harris property is in adjoining Downe Township. These are the only two individual properties identified on the map suggesting that the map was either compiled for or by a member of the Parvin or Harris family. This map was loosely inserted in an 1838 edition of Bradford's Illustrated Atlas inscribed on the title "Theodore Sutton Parvin Burlington Iowa August 15/ 1838" and an examination of the map of New Jersey in the atlas shows that the Cumberland County area was squared up for enlargement. All of which gives a source and probable author of the map. Parvin has added some names and geographical features in addition to those shown on the Bradford engraved map. Theodore Sutton Parvin was born in Cedarville Cumberland County N. J. on January 15 1817; and died June 28 1901. He graduated at Woodward College Cincinnati in 1836; he studied law; was private secretary of Robert Lucas the first governor of the Iowa Territory and was the first librarian of that territory. Later he was librarian and professor in the Iowa State University; was a founder of the Iowa State Historical Society in 1857 and for the years 1863-65 was its corresponding secretary and editor. He was the founder in 1844 of the Iowa Masonic Library and through his exertions this library has its present building at Cedar Rapids. From its foundation until his death fifty-seven years he was its librarian. Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society 1905. vol.X part II p.871. unknown books

1799WRCAM36586Trenton: Printed by G. Craft 1799. vi9-1496pp. Later plain wrappers paper label. Wrappers edgeworn splitting along front hinge. Light even tanning. About very good. In a half morocco box. This copy bears the ownership signature of Elisha Boudinot on page 29. The tract's author William Griffith studied law in Boudinot's office in Newark before being admitted to the bar in 1788. Boudinot's brother Elias was an important New Jersey lawyer and politician a member of the Continental Congress in the 1770s and '80s and a U.S. Representative from 1789 to 1795. <br> <br> This scarce collection of essays by William Griffith a prominent Burlington lawyer and legal writer argues for the revision of the Revolutionary-era New Jersey constitution. The original constitution crafted over a period of five days and signed just before the Declaration of Independence was a document that did little more than proclaim the state's independence from royal authority and establish a basic framework for government. In these essays some of which had been printed in the STATE GAZETTE Griffith sought to "bring home to every man's heart a conviction of the actual evils which arise out of the theoretic errors of the constitution." The fifty-three essays point out the defects in the constitution and describe Griffith's alternatives on issues such as the judiciary representation etc. Though Griffith and his Federalist cohorts supported revising the 1776 constitution the Republicans in the state opposed revision and carried the day. The New Jersey constitution would not be revised until 1844. EVANS 35570. FELCONE 105. SABIN 28829. COHEN 3194. Printed by G. Craft unknown books
