Excerpt from Public Records of the State of Connecticut: From May, 1778, to April, 1780, Inclusive, With the Journal of the Council of Safety From May 18, 1778, to April 23, 1780, and an Appendix This publication comprises the record of eight sessions of the General Assembly of Connecticut, between May, 1778. and May, 1780, and contains the remaining hitherto unprinted portion of volume one of the manuscript Records of the State of Connecticut, with the April session of 1780 from volume two. The records of the Council of Safety for the two years are also included, arranged in the same manner as in the former printed volume. The record of the ordinary Council is not known to exist. Prom May, 1779, the journals of the Lower House of the General Assembly are in our archives. The journals of the Upper House are not preserved. I suspect that sundry of the errata mentioned on page 580 may be accounted for by the fact that the record is not always in the handwriting of Secretary Wyllys himself. The journal of the Hartford Convention, printed in the appendix, is from the Rhode Island archives. The recommendations of the convention were published in some of the newspapers of that time. The journal of the Philadelphia Convention is from the archives of Massachusetts and I am indebted for it to the kindness of C. B. Tillinghast, Esq., the State Librarian. I do not know that it has before been printed. It was not practicable to accomplish the object for which the convention was called. My attention has been drawn to the following resolution found in our archives. Revolutionary War, viii, doc. 242, which, though regularly passed in the latter part of October session, 1777, as appears by the memoranda of the Secretary and of the clerk of the Lower House subjoined to it, for some reason not clearly apparent, was not entered on the record. It does not seem to have been repealed. The resolution is in the handwriting of Roger Sherman, and is endorsed: Bill granting Liberty to Sandeyn
