Carmignani, Donald T. Harvey, Joyce L. McDade, Mary Jane Bodnar and others. Full signature page pictured; see photos to read the names yourself. A scarce association copy for New Jersey political history, Mercer County history, and freeholder-system research. The standard scholarly account of the Board of Chosen Freeholders, the governing structure New Jersey used from 1798 until the title was retired in 2021.
