Synopsis "The Delegate From new York: Or Proceedings of the Federal Convention of 1787 From the Notes of John Lansing, jr. (in English)"
Reprint of first and only edition. Originally published: Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1939. x, 125 pp. John Lansing [1754-1829], together with Robert Yates and Alexander Hamilton, attended the Constitutional Convention as delegates from New York. About 1904 his notes were discovered among his papers by his heirs, and were not published until 1939, providing a rich new primary source record for scholars of the Convention. The notes were apparently intended for his private use only, and do not appear to have been altered or revised by him. Only in Lansing's notes do we find a report of two Constitutional questions regarding states rights and sovereignty, an explanation of Charles Pinckney's plan for the Senate, an exceptionally careful presentation of Hamilton's speeches on individual and states rights, and an explanation of the final vote on the New Jersey plan. Theses notes are of value not only for their unique perspective on the principals involved, but for the issues regarding the states relationships he documented.
