Edition Notes
"It will probably never be known positively to whom we are indebted for this 'Abridgement [sic] of the publick laws of Virginia'. Tradition attributes it to Robert Beverley, the historian, while in manuscript on the title pages of the 1722 edition in the library of E.D. Church and the 1728 edition in the Library of Congress appear the words, in the former, 'by William Beverley', in the latter, 'by Colo William Beverley' ..." Cf. Virginia State Library. Department of Bibliography. A trial bibliography of colonial Virginia, 1908-1910.
