Description: Laws of the State of New-Jersey; Revised and Published, Under the Authority of the Legislature By William Paterson Published: Printed by Abraham Blauvelt, New Brunswick, 1800. Folio hardcover bound in full leather original leather spine label. Lg. folio. [2], xxi, [1], 455, [33] pp.A complete revision and compilation of the laws of New Jersey, begun in 1792 while Paterson was governor of the state and completed while he was associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. Consolidating the existing statutory law with the Common Law of England, Paterson essentially re-wrote much of the state's law. The work is a monument both to Paterson's extraordinary legal mind and to his remarkable ability to produce and complete such a complex undertaking while serving successively as governor and Supreme Court justice.
