INTRODUCTORY THE INIanual of the One Hundred and Eighth Session of the Legislature of New Jersey is, we trust, an improvement on preceding volumes. We have honestly striven every year to make each succeeding book suj^e- rior to all others, and hope, ere long, to present a work which will take rank with the best of its kind published in the United States. To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.

Introduction, The spot where Sedgwick fell, in the vicinity of Spottsyl- vania Court House, slumbered in fovgetfulness, until General Humphreys, in his investigations, preparatory to the prepara- tion of his substantial and relial:ft»* historic narrative of the ^'Virginia Campaigns of '64 and '65/' first brought it to atten- tion. He visited the locality about 1874, and causing a rough houlder to be rolled to the spot to identify it, subsequently " described it in his work as follows : The skirmishers and sharpshooters were very active on both sides, and in the morn- ing [May 9th] General Sedgwick was killed, close to the en- trenchments, at the right of his Corps, but not under cover, at the point where the forks of the road in Alsop's field unite." Following the direction from which the Union army ap- proached the battle-field, it is really where the forks re-unite.
