Gaine's edition was edited by eminent colonial lawyer Peter Van Schaack and was the first to include the Ten Pound Act and New York's militia law. Justices of the peace were often influential property-holders in a given area. One of this copy's early owners was likely Noble Barnum Hitchcock [1775-1860], a promine.
