1776Best.-Nr. 35321776. NEW JERSEY. LAWS. Acts of the General Assembly of the Province of New-Jersey from the Surrender of the Government to Queen Anne on the 17th Day of April in the Year of Our Lord 1702 to the 14th Day of January 1776 . By Samuel Allinson. Burlington: Isaac Collins 1776. Folio. viii 493 1 6 6 4 4 3 1 15 p. Modern calf-backed marbled boards very skillfully executed in period style. The usual foxing and browning present in all copies occasional minor spotting else a very good desirable copy in a handsome and correct period-style binding. A compilation of all the laws in force in New Jersey in 1776. Though begun several years earlier publication was delayed by Governor William Franklin's constant quarrels with the assembly the outbreak of hostilities and finally as Allinson notes in his preface the inability to obtain sufficient paper ". the Want of which stop'd the Press several Weeks at sundry Times until more could be manufactured." The quality of the paper varied considerably and all copies exhibit differing degrees of foxing and browning from gathering to gathering. There are several contemporary manuscript corrections also present in all copies and probably done in the printer's shop. For a detailed account of the evolution and printing history of Allinson's Laws see Felcone New Jersey Books 2nd edn. 1424 and Felcone Printing in New Jersey 1754-1800 214.

1800Best.-Nr. 35311800. NEW JERSEY. LAWS. Laws of the State of New Jersey Revised . by William Paterson. New Brunswick: Abraham Blauvelt 1800. Lg. folio. 2 xxi 1 455 33 p. Modern calf-backed marbled boards very skillfully executed in period antique style. The usual minor foxing and spotting but a fine copy in a correct period-style binding. A complete revision and compilation of the laws of New Jersey begun in 1792 while Paterson was governor of the state and completed while he was associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. Consolidating the existing statutory law with the Common Law of England Paterson essentially re-wrote much of the state's law. The work is a monument both to Paterson's extraordinary legal mind and to his remarkable abilty to produce and complete such a complex undertaking while serving successively as governor and Supreme Court justice.
