Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New Jersey, Vol. 1: 1631-1687
In 1843, previous to the organization of the Society, the same gentlemen - being impressed with the propriety of New Jersey's taking some steps to obtain from the English Archives, copies of the records referring to the Provincial history of the State - brought the subject to the attention of the Legislature, and, at the next session, Governor haines alluded to it in his annual message. This led to the introduction of a series of resolutions, emanating from the Judiciary Committee, which were intended to effect the object through Mr. J ohn' Brodhead, the agent of New York; then abroad, engaged in securing the documents referring to that State. Although preceded by a favorable report, the resolutions, as they required a majority of two thirds, did not pass.
