which the printed copy of the Laws
(commonly called Galloway'o edition)
commenced, there had been held sev-
cral sessions of the General Assembly,
during which a considerable iumber of
laws were enacted but at that early pe-
riod, a general preamble was prefixed to
the laws of each session, and they were
distributed numerically, into chapters,
without distinction in date, or title.
The laws passed during the period allu-

supplied, or are become obsolete. The
first General Assembly of Pennsylvania,
and the territories thereunto belonging,
was holden at Chester, on the 7th of De-
cember, 1682. (Note to former edition.)

are omitted in the body of the work, and
will be found in the beginning of each
