a) New York In The Revolution As Colony and State, These Records Were Discovered, Arranged And Classified in 1895, 1896, 1897, And 1898 By James A. Roberts, Comptroller, Second Edition, published in Albany, N.Y. in 1898 by the Press Of Brandow Printing Company, with a colored pictorial cover, blank endpapers and a copyright date of 1898; there are 534 pages altogether, including four pages of Contents, a nine-page Introduction and an Index To Illustrations, and the top edge is gilt. This book contains rosters of New York’s militia and soldiers in each county, mainly during the American Revolution. Both enlisted men and officers are reported for the regiments they were in. New York put at least 43,645 men in the field, all of whom were identified from the original muster rolls and payrolls in the State Comptroller's Office, as well as from records concerning regiments of the "Line" in rolls on file in the War Department in Washington, D.C.; but if we add the 8,237 men named in the Land Bounty Papers in this second edition, there’s a force of nearly 52,000 men from New York who served in the Revolutionary War. About three years after the publication of this second edition of New York in the Revolution, the State Comptroller's Office published a second volume which was considered a supplement to the first one, and this supplement is included here as well. b) The second book is titled New York In The Revolution As Colony And State Supplement, Being A Compilation By Erastus C. Knight, Comptroller Of Documents And Records Which Were Discovered By James A. Roberts, Comptroller; And Arranged And Classified 1895-1901, By Comptrollers James A. Roberts, William J.

The second book is 336 pages long, including a three-page Preface, three pages of Contents, and a fifty-two page Index of Names at the end, and the top edge is gilt. Both books are 4to. and measure 12 1/8 x 10 in. wide. The first book has a detached cover and detached spine which has been saved and laid in between the front endpapers, the supplement has light rubbing on the edges and at the heel and crown of the spine, the corners tips are curled in, the engravings and pages of both books are actually very clean, and the first book needs to be rebound, but both books are an important historical record of the officers and soldiers from New York who fought in the Revolution. #50 #1716
