		New Brunswick Adventurers of '49 (Kull 1925) PDF by Prof. Irving Stoddard Kull (NJHS 1925, 13pp, PDF 173K) In February 1849, a party of adventurers set out from New Brunswick to the gold fields of California. What made their expedition historically significant is that its documentation is essentially complete, from inception to dissolution. There are also diaries and journals that describe the ocean voyage. The New Brunswick & California Mining and Trading Company consisted of forty-five shares of $600 each, totalling $27,000, plus a loan of $100 from each shareholder. With this fund, the Company purchased a ship for about $11,000 and loaded her with provisions valued at $17,000. The adventurers sailed around the Horn, and together - as a communal enterprise - sought to pool their efforts and inventory for mutual (and equal) profit. They converted the ship into a warehouse, bought a piece of property on the Embarcadero - and then decided to liquidate. A list of the officers, shareholders and adventurers is given.	Price $1.00

		New Jersey's Opposition to the Stamp Act (Connolly 1924) PDF by Hon. James C. Connolly (NJHS 1924, 10pp, PDF 151K) The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 to help England pay for defending and securing its newest North American conquests: Louisiana, Canada and Acadia. Patrick Henry of Virginia steps onto the world stage for the first time, denouncing the Act as a usurpation of colonists' rights. Massachusetts organized a meeting representatives of nine of the colonies, to which New Jersey sent Robert Ogden, Hendrick Fisher and Joseph Borden. This article recalls the various protests and events related to the Stamp Act, including a period when lawyers refused to practice their profession (as no legal document could be validly executed without a stamp). None of our historians specify, except in a very general way, the contents of the Stamp Act, which became effective principally though the activities of the legal profession. This article cites the 41 circumstances requiring a Stamp, and the amount payable therefor.	Price $1.00
