RESOLUTIONS.
this duty, shall carefully collect and reduce under one
head the different acts and parts of acts, which, from the similarity
of the subjects to which they relate, ought to be so arranged;
distributing the whole under such titles, divisions and sections
as they shall think proper, and omitting all such acts or parts of
acts, as shall have been repealed or which may have expired by
their own limitation or be repugnant to the constitution of this
state, or of the United States, specifying the said acts or parts of
acts so omitted, and that in every other respect they may complete
the said revision, digest and collation in such manner as
to them shall seem most useful and proper to render the said acts
more plain and easy to be understood.

to be employed,
shall prepare and furnish a full and arranged index of the contents
of the whole work; and shall add to it, the constitution of the
United States, as it may be in force at the time, adding to it a
specification of the alterations it has undergone since its first
adoption, the declaration of independence, the bill of rights and
constitution of this state, as it may be in force at the time, adding
to it a specification of the alterations it has undergone since
its first adoption; together with the resolutions of a public nature
then in force, with a like index of such resolutions; and when
they shall have completed the whole, they shall lay the same before
the general assembly of this state, accompanied by suggestions
of such contradictions, omissions or imperfections as may
have occurred to them in the course of their examination of the
acts revised, and with a specification of such acts or parts of acts
(if any) as in their judgment ought to be repealed; and the said
persons so to be employed, may recommend the passage of
