Notes
In response to public debate over calling a convention to revise the state's constitution, the Assembly passed an act at the end of their 1815-16 session requiring the Executive to have the proceedings of the Revolutionary Conventions of 1776 & 1776 reprinted and to have 500 copies of them distributed across the state. This item is the sixth title in that mandated series; these records were originally published by Alexander Purdie (1776.015); unlike reprint editions for the conventions of July & December 1775, this edition is separately paginated from the meeting's proceedings (1816.062). This series was issued after May 1816 when firm of Ritchie, Trueheart, and DuVal began.
