1800Best.-Nr. 34661800. NEW JERSEY. LAWS. Laws of the State of New-Jersey; Revised and Published under the Authority of the Legislature by William Paterson. Newark: Matthias Day 1800. Lg. 8vo. 2 455 1 xxi 1 2 46 1 p. Modern full calf in antique style red and black spine labels. Minor marginal spotting at rear of text else a fine copy. The octavo edition of Paterson's Laws printed by Matthias Day from sheets of the folio edition as they came from Abraham Blauvelt's press. Blauvelt's folio was an essential but expensive book and Day saw a market for a less costly edition printed on super royal paper in octavo format. The text on each page was nearly identical to that in the folio edition so that a citation to one edition was also a citation to the other. For a detailed description of the evolution and printing of this edition see Felcone New Jersey Books 2nd edn. 1428-1430 and Felcone Printing in New Jersey 1754-1800 1113. This copy contains the original title page with the horse's head in the state arms facing to the left. When the remainder of the edition was purchased from Day by Newark printer and bookseller William Tuttle in 1814 Tuttle printed a new title page dated 1800 but most easily identified by a right-facing horse's head.
