• 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 first title in that mandated series; these records were originally published by Alexander Purdie in two editions (1775.004, 1775.005), and by John Dixon & William Hunter (1775.006); copies of those editions were rare by 1816, so the impetus for their reprinting.
  This series was issued after May 1816 when firm of Ritchie, Trueheart, and DuVal began.
