Scope and Content Note

This series consists of a binder containing a 300-page typed manuscript entitled, "Precedents on Impeachment." The manuscript discusses the "customs, practices and proceedings" of the English Parliament regarding impeachment and reviews the history of New York State constitutional and statutory provisions relating to impeachment. There is no indication of who prepared this work, when, or for what purpose, although it might have been related in some way to Governor William Sulzer's impeachment and removal from office in 1913.
