APPENDIX——RESOLUTIONS.
and that the day on which any resolution, published with the laws,
shall have been finally assented to, be also noted; that a short marginal
abstract be given of each clause of an act as heretofore, and
that as often as the acts and resolutions printed shall be sufficient
to make a separate volume, (provided there be comprised in one
volume, the acts and resolutions of four different sessions of the
general assembly at least,) a table or index shall also be printed
of the contents of that volume, together with a suitable title page;
which said index shall be made by such person or persons whom
the governor and council may think proper to employ from time to
time for that purpose; who shall be paid such reasonable compensation
therefor, as the general assembly shall think proper to allow.
