The first New Jersey session laws to be produced in octavo format. For nearly a hundred years the major New Jersey government documents--session laws assembly votes council journals--were published in folio format. In early November 1800 the state printers at the time George Sherman John Mershon and Isaiah Thomas petitioned the assembly to reduce government document printing from folio to octavo and they presented the cost-saving statistics. The assembly was convinced and from then on the standard government printing was done in octavo. Evans 38062; Felcone Printing in New Jersey 1754-1800 1111; ESTC W25911. unknown books
