NEW JERSEY, Colony]. The Acts of the General Assembly of the Province of New-Jersey, From the Time of the Surrender of the Government of the Said Province to the Fourth Year of the Reign of King George the Second . Philadelphia: William and Andrew Bradford, 1732. 2 o (205 x 175 mm). Woodcut Royal arms on title. (Unobtrusive repair to gutter margin of title, scattered browning and occasional light staining.) Contemporary blind panelled calf, covers with central double panel formed by several rolls, at corners of outer panel two impressions of a drawer-pull tool: BOUND IN ANDREW BRADFORD'S PHILADELPHIA SHOP (corners repaired, rebacked). Provenance : M.H. Stratton (1874 inscription on title); M.P. Grey (later signature). THE FIRST OFFICIAL COMPILATION OF THE LAWS OF NEW JERSEY, printed at the request of the Assembly for subscribers, in what is likely to have been a small edition. The Act specifically states that "as only a small number is ordered for the use of the said Province, those private gentlemen who are willing to have and subscribe for the same" should contact the booksellers as the Bradfords were "designing to print no more than what are subscribed and agreed for" (quoted in Felcone). RARE: the last copy offered at auction was in 1986. Evans 3578; Felcone 153; Sabin 53043.
