Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive and accessible catalogue of works found in the State Library of Massachusetts, a collection formed in the wake of a 19th-century resolution calling for an exchange of laws between the US states. With legal and historical documents forming a key part of this exchange, the library's holdings have historically been used by legislators and public officials for reference and consultation, especially the extensive body of reported cases from state and federal courts. Today, the library's collection includes histories of various Massachusetts towns and counties, materials on the history of local businesses, and biographies of prominent public figures, making it a key resource for historians and researchers on Massachusetts history, law, politics, and society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
