Since its establishment in 1832 as a separate part of the Library of Congress, the Law Library has acted to preserve the complete record of American law, including original editions of colonial, state, and territorial laws. This two-volume collection of laws in force, titles of those repealed, and the two royal charters granted by King Charles II was compiled by Nicholas Trott (1663-1740). It is one of the finest examples of early American printing.
