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

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.
