Excerpt from The New-York Civil List: Containing the Names and Origin of the Civil Divisions, and the Names and Dates of Election or Appointment of the Principal State and County Officers, From the Revolution to the Present Time

The new-york CIVIL list has now reached the fourth year of its publication; and in preparing the present volume for the press, many of the lists have been carefully compared with the original records, and errors which had unavoidably appeared in the former editions have been corrected. The list of Members of Assembly, hitherto imperfect, has been completed from one of the early journals found in the library of the new-york Historical Society. Slight imperfections in the original records occasionally leave a date or name somewhat doubtful; but, with a few excep tions, which are commonly indicated by notes, the following pages will be found to embrace a reliable summary of our principal state and county officers, from the organization of a state government to the day of going to press.

The value of a concise manual of reference, containing historical lists of public officers, is recognized by all who have occasion to refer to facts connected with personal history, or events associated with the administration of public officers; and it is equally useful for daily reference, in affording aid to legal investigations, in furnishing political precedents, and in enabling one to fix upon particular dates, by the connection of events with men in public life.
