Beschreibung:

(New York Colony)The Laws, of Her Majesties Colony of New York as they were enacted by the Governour, Council and General Assembly, for the time being, in diverse sessions, the first of which began April the 9th, Annoq; Dom. 1691. New York: William Bradford 1713 Folio (288 x 175 mm). [6], 88, 151–245 [i.e., 253] pp. Woodcut royal crest on title; leaves of opening table probably cancels with pages pasted over the first printings; browning, spotting, and staining. Early nineteenth century brown pebbled calf, covers ruled in blind, spine with raised bands in six compartments, second and fourth gilt-lettered, minor rubbing to extremities. Third collection of New York laws. The present volume represents an early New York imprint from the press of William Bradford the “pioneering printer of the English middle colonies” (DAB), and first printer of New York. The Laws is the third collection of New York laws, after those of 1694 and 1710, and covers legislation passed from 1691 to 1713. Some of the acts present here include: “for quieting and settling the Disorders that have lately happened within this Province” (1691), “for restraining and punishing Privateers and Pyrates” (1693 and 1698), and “against Jesuites and Popish Priests” (1700). There are also a number of acts “for Regulating Slaves” and one for “Baptizing them” (1706). The index reflects the erratic pagination in the volume, which skips from page 88 to page 151. This is due in part to the fact that they are a composite of Bradford’s various separately issued official publications of New York laws. The two leaves following the title-page are an index, the present copy being comprised of individually printed pages pasted together to form one double-sided leaf. REFERENCEESTC W42004; Evans 1636, 1637, and 1638
