Synopsis

Statutes At Large Of The State Of New York: Comprising The Revised Statutes, As They Existed On The 1St Day Of July, 1862, And All The General Public Statutes Then In Force, With References To Judicial Decisions, And The Material Notes Of The Revisers In Their Report To The Legislature" by John Worth Edmonds presents a comprehensive roll of New York State laws enacted during the late 1860s (Ninety-First Session materials), listing numerous acts across a broad array of topics. The volume functions as a statutory compilation rather than a narrative, indexing laws enacted in May 1868 through May 1869 and covering infrastructure, government organization, public health and safety, social regulation, resource management, and civil administration. The entries illustrate state investment in transportation (railroads, canals, roads), municipal governance (incorporations, bonds, taxation), corporate and financial regulation, and public works. It also includes provisions on militia and national defense, immigration procedures, probate and estate matters, education governance, wildlife protection, and offenses with penalties. Overall, it captures a postwar legislative program aimed at expanding state capacity and regulating diverse aspects of civil life across New York.
