PREFACE.

This volume contains the remainder of the documents relating to the Union Era, or period during which New York and New Jersey were in charge of the same governors, which were thought, by the Editor, worthy of preservation in this form. The remaining volumes will commence with the administration of Governor Lewis Morris in 1738, and include the whole of the Provincial Era, ending with the War of Independence.
