Before there was a United States, there was the law of one small, embattled colony. Every statute tells a story. Volume I of William Waller Hening's renowned 'Statutes at Large' gathers a meticulously ordered virginia statutes collection, recording early virginia legislation from the first session of the General Assembly in 1619 and charting the growth of the colonial Virginia legal system in the seventeenth century Virginia colony. Preserved here as a primary source legal text are the enactments that governed land and labour, church and county courts, trade, defence and daily life: a bedrock colonial law reference for anyone drawn to American colonial legal history. Consulted for generations as a legal historians reference, the hening statutes at large remain indispensable for scholars, students, and enthusiasts seeking to understand how power, property, and community were defined in colonial Virginia 1600s laws. Family historians and local researchers will also find an unrivalled aid to Virginia genealogy research, rich with names, offices, and localities that appear nowhere else in such orderly form, firmly anchoring this volume among the essential colonial records of Virginia for private libraries and reading rooms alike. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
