Edition Notes
Commissioners of statutory revision: Charles Z. Lincoln, William H. Johnson, and A. Judd Northrup.
"Note by the commissioners", dated October, 1896: v. 1, 1 leaf following p. xxi.
"The Revision commission has taken the edition of Van Schaack [New York, 1774] as a basis of this publication, so far as the arrangement and chapter numbering are concerned. Every act, however, of which the original of a copy is known to be in existence has been printed in full ... The first sixty-three chapters of the laws, beginning with the year 1691, except when otherwise stated in the note preceding a chapter, have been copied from the parchment-rolls in the State library ... The laws subsequent to chapter 63, except where otherwise stated ... have been copied from the original manuscripts in the office of the secretary of state." - Explanatory note.
