ROBERT BOGGS, clerk of the district of New-Jersey. PREFACE. Having become an inhabitant of New-Jersey, it occurred to me, that I should perform a service, which would be acceptable to the com muni y by employing my leisure in compi ing a new-Jer- sey register, on the plan of those, annuaiiy, issued in the eastern states. This is the first thing of the kind, as I have been informed, which has been attempted in this part of our country. The candid will, therefore, make allowances for any imperfections, which may be noticed ; as they mav rest assured, that every reasonable ex- ertion will be made, to render the future editions of this register more perfect, interesting, and worthy of their patronage.
