Scope and Content Note
These are accounts of work done by the state printer for the legislature. The printer was appointed by the Legislature and was paid by the State Treasurer on warrant of the Comptroller. The Revised Statutes of 1801 (Ch. 190) provided for the publishing of the laws of the state. The law appointed two printers to print all laws presently in force and all which would be passed by the present session.
The accounts give the printer's name; for whom printing was done (e.g. Senate or Assembly); dates work done; cost of work; printer's certification of accuracy of account; and notary's certification.
