Publication by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of the complete and annotated set: The Acts and resolves, public and private, of the Province of the Massachusetts Bay, including the years 1692 to 1780, and popularly known as the Province Laws, was authorized by Resolves 1865, c 43, and again by Resolves 1867, c 87. (See also Resolves 1893, c 12; St 1894, c 387; and St 1899, c 477.) Under the mandated direction of the governor and council, the twenty-one volumes were issued between 1869 and 1922, with materials relating to the project being deposited with the state secretary. Volume 6, containing private acts, was published in 1896. Series contains publisher's draft of the volume, presumably prepared by the then editor of the Province laws, Abner C. Goodell.
