About This Item
Santa Fe: New Mexican Printing Company, 1885. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good+. Original leather boards and spine rebound with new leatherette hinges. Text is the original 1885 printing, approved in April 1884 and certified by Attorney General William Breeden on March 28th, 1885. This compilation was the first compilation of New Mexico Territory law since 1865; it was commissioned in 1884 by the Legislative Assembly for the purpose of compiling "all the laws, general, local, and private, which shall be in force on the fifth day of May, 1884." Intended to be comprehensive, this edition was published in one volume in English and Spanish, and includes the Constitution of the United States, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the Gadsden Treaty, the original act organizing the territory, the original Kearny code, and a list of laws specifically enacted since the 1865 compilation. The commissioners - Edward L. Bartlett, Charles W. Greene, and Santiago Valdez, along with secretary Ireneo L. Chaves - were appointed by Governor Lionel Allen Sheldon at a rate of six dollars each daily. Book is in good+ condition (original covers chipped, bumped, rubbed, marked, and scraped; spine is cracked and missing a 1/2" corner; bottom of new leatherette spine has a white mark; edges of textblock are dustsoiled and stained, with a dark black mark on the foreedge affecting pp.446-488; some pages are lightly stained with corners folded, but are generally otherwise clean, albeit toning slightly; copyright page has a 1" tear to the top). 1736pp. incl. index.
