"Acts of the General Assembly of the Province of New Jersey". 1776 Printing of New Jersey Acts From 1702 to 1776, by the Colonial currency printer Isaac Collins. A rare original bound book of Official Acts covering the early Colonial period from 1702 to 1776, 13½ x 9 in., Folio, 493 pages, plus an Appendix, Tables and Index. Published by Samuel Allison, printed by Isaac Collins, "Printer to the King," of Burlington (NJ). This book provides original, wonderful insights into the earliest years of the Royal and provincial rule of law in the Americas. This volume is well worn, in fair to good condition. Some inside front pages have been signed "John Hopper His Book 1795," with several practice flourishes of the pen by Mr. Hopper on the cover and inside, which is contemporary sheep, in sincere need of rebinding as the spine is cracked and is missing a bottom piece. There is some dampstaining to the lower portion of gutter margin at end of volume, causing some loss to text on about 25 end pages. An important printed in 1776, recording Colonial New Jersey's history.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500.
