Excerpt from The Ratification of the Federal Constitution by the State of New YorkThe author of the following study is keenly aware of its many shortcomings, and it has seemed wise to make some explanation of what would appear to be two very obvious lapses.In the first place, it must be evident to even the most casual reader that a great discrepancy exists between the title as indicated, and the amount of space allotted to the actual ratification. It has been the thought, however, that the action of the Poughkeepsie Convention of 1788 was but the culmination of a long series of events, and that the title, in its truest interpretation, included a discussion of the preliminary stages as well as of the final event itself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
