This book is the first extensive collection of colonial charters, patents and grants for the communities that make up New York City. Collected from various archives, libraries, and historical societies, this definitive guide to the legal history of New York's origins features the rights of the city protected by the first New York State Constitution of 1777, and echoes loudly in the most recent revision of the organic law. The author carefully compared all of the charters in this volume with the original engrossed documents when available, ensuring that the text in this volume is printed as closely as typography will allow - verbatim et literatim et punctuatim.
