Dan NJ. Adame, q young gentleman |
o; this city, and son Of the late Major |
Dan NJ. Adams, has presented the State
Historical society with three valuable |
relics in The shape of bound law reports
compiled by William Noy in the times
of Queen Elizabeth, King Jsmss and
King Charles, Of England. The books |
bear date from 1869 to 1851. and are
still in tolerable state Of preservation,
though the backs ar partly torn off. The
donor does not know anything concern
ing the history of these volumes, except |
that they we're in his mothers possession |
when he first knew of their existence.
On the fly leaf of one is a sentence
written in pepcil stating that the book is
the prorerty of Patrick Henry, Of Rich
mond, Va, British Provinces of North
America, aud was presented to him by
his friend, Aaron Murray ct London,
Eng, in 1852. 1t is probable that the
writing is Patrick Henry's own, as he
was then 16 years Of sge and the letters
somewhat resemble tiose he made in
later years, though they are not so well
form ed.
