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 most people. 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."

An examination of the surprising Whig triumph in the just-concluded New York State elections in five Letters.

"Riotous and insurrectionary assemblages of armed men were almost daily witnessed and flagrant outrages upon persons and property were matters of common occurrence committed with entire impunity."

A bitter attack on New York's newly enacted Sunday closing law arguing that the legislature does not possess "one particle of authority to enact any law which might directly or indirectly give a preference to the religious creed of any sect to the disparagement of any other or in any manner to infringe the right of any individual to the unrestrained and peaceable enjoyment of his opinions on the subject of religion."

The troubles began as soon as the University started up with the appointment of Dr. Mathews a "rash and ambitious" man as Chancellor in 1831. He alienated the faculty almost immediately and became a "fruitful source of embarrassments and convulsions." Fiscally unsound he "lost" the financial records; academically suspect he is "more intent upon gorgeous embellishments vain parade and mere effect than upon building up solidly and wisely an institution of learning." This regrettably is the view of "the whole Faculty of Science and Letters." The last straw-- or as this pamphlet refers to it "explosion"-- occurred when Mathews ejected seven teachers "from the duties of their Professorships." All his deficiencies are examined here with great care. FIRST EDITION. Sabin 14827. AI 51966 5. John S. Taylor, Publisher and Bookseller unknown books
