Note 494 — Chapter III · (continued 2)

The Bradford copy of 1694, in the State library (Albany), not being considered complete, the legislature of 1879 appropriated $1,600 to purchase a better copy at the Brinley sale in 1880. [This was the first book printed in New York. Sabin (xiii. 53,726, etc.; cf. x. p. 371, and Menzies Catal., no. 1,250) gives the successive editions. For the proceedings of the assembly in various forms, see Ibid., xiii. 53,722, 54,003, etc.—Ed.]
