The Last New Jersey Laws

Franklin's final official printing for New Jersey, 1748, in the original printed wrappers.

Sixteen acts of the New Jersey Assembly of 1747, printed by Franklin in 1748: among them the pardon of the 'Clinker Lot Right Men' of the 1746 land riots, and an Act in Support of the Government that authorizes payment of the colony's printer — named in the text as B. Franklin. It was the last official printing he did for New Jersey before William Bradford took the work away.

In the original printed wrappers, in a custom slipcase — the session laws as they were sold, not as they were later bound.
