|
|
July 27, 1693 Broadside issued by New York Province Governor Benjamin Fletcher which dissolved the General Assembly, with creation of a new assembly
to follow. Of note, the basis for this dissolution was a dispute between the then current Assembly and Fletcher over the addition of an amendment to
an act creating a new ministry. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of a title originally held by the New York Historical Society Library (c.1) and the
Massachusetts Historical Society Library(c.2) and the American Antiquarian Society Library in Worcester, Massachusetts (c.3)).
