This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal and Judicial History of New York, Vol. 1 In the first volume of this work the attempt has been made to record chronologically and with as much thoroughness as the limitations of a single volume has permitted, the history of the legal institutions and the administration of justice in the Colony and State of New York during their three hundred years of existence from the time of their first planting under the Dutch down to the beginning of the twentieth century. Necessarily the work of the writer has been largely that of compilation in bringing together from every available source of information whatever may have been recorded by preceding writers con cerning the subject, and weaving all this divergent material into a complete, logical and consistent narrative. Nothing of this kind has ever before been essayed, and it is believed that from these pages it will be possible to have a clear conception of the character of our legal institutions, the source of their origin, and the manner in which, gradually, from one generation to another, they developed from small and crude beginnings to their present proportions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal and Judicial History of New York, Vol. 3 As early as 1540 some French fur traders found their way up the river that many years afterward was "discovered" by Hudson, and erected a stone fort or castle on the island in the river, near the present southern boundary of the city of Albany. Here seventy-five years later the castle, which had fallen into decay, was rebuilt as Fort Nassau by Hendrick Corstiaensen, of Amsterdam, who bore a license from the Lords States-General of Holland to traffic in furs with the natives of New Netherland. Here Henry Hudson arrived on the "Half Moon," September 19, (oldstyle) 1609, under contract with the Dutch East India Company on his exploration of the Grande (now Hudson) River. Here the Walloons, under the authority of the Dutch West India Company, which had been incorporated by the Holland government to colonize America, erected Fort Orange in 1624, on the shore of the river, near the site of the present steamboat landing. None of these early efforts, however, resulted in a permanent settlement. It remained for Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, the first patroon, to become the founder of an enduring settlement here. He it was to whom the Dutch West India Company, under a plan approved by the Lords States-General, granted manorial rights and the permission to establish a colony. While he did not come himself, he sent a few settlers here in 1630. These were followed by others in subsequent years, but he remained at his home in Amsterdam and administered his affairs from there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal and Judicial History of New York In 1842 it was resolved to curtail the power of the legislature to incur debt. This decision and the reaction against the tendency to involve the government in private business led to the convention of 1846. The work of that convention and the constitution reported by it, the third constitution of the State, have been discussed in this book. Whatever may be the common impression, the most important part of the labor of that convention dealt with the subject of public debts. The next succeeding constitutional convention was that of 1867, all of whose work except the judiciary article was rejected at the polls. Then followed the constitutional commission of 1872, which took up a large part of the unaccepted effort of the convention of 1867, revised it, and presented it to the State legislatures in such form that much of it was eventually incorporated in the constitution. To the able and thoughtful men in the convention of 1867 it must have seemed lamentable that their labors were not appreciated. The valuable ideas which the convention formulated first passed through the crucible of public discussion and afterwards were debated in the commission of 1872. The good work of the convention was not lost; on the contrary it was improved, and fortunately for the people, some notions much in vogue at the time were never submitted by the legislature for popular vote, and were happily kept out of the organic law. The lesson which that period should teach is that proposed constitutional changes need thorough consideration before their submission to the people. In 1890 a constitutional commission was summoned into being to revise the judiciary article. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitutional History of New York, Vol. 1 of 5: From the Beginning of the Colonial Period to the Year 1905 Showing the Origin, Development, and Judicial Construction of the Constitution; 1609-1822 After the larger part of the book had been written, I found, in the Albany Argus, a sentiment which closely accords with my own view of the proper scope of a gen eral work on history. This writer says that history is most useful and most intelligible when it shows accurate ly the course of events, the motives underlying them, and the people who shaped them. I have tried to apply this rule in the present work, - to state every fact with all possible accuracy, to discover the motive and purpose of each proposed constitutional reform, and to present a view of the men who shaped the Constitution, so far as this was practicable from reported Speeches and other documents purporting to contain a statement of their opinions and intentions.
