By HOLT, Elizabeth)
Two incomplete sets of folio gatherings: the Journals of the New York State Senate and the Journal of the New York Assembly, both seventh session proceedings respectively, printed by Elizabeth Holt after the death of her husband, the publisher John Holt, on January 30th 1784. Both are first printings in sheets as issued (stabbed but not stitched), untrimmed and unbound. The *Journal of the Senate* consists of the title leaf and 18 sequential folio gatherings (Q - 2M): pp. 59-130. It thus includes the printed record of daily proceedings from March 15th, 1784 - April 28th, 1784. Modest scattered foxing and toning, the last three gatherings are partly damaged with tears to the top right corner and margin affecting parts of the letterpress headline only, else overall very good. *Evans* 18644, *ESTC* W33312. The *Journal of the Assembly* consists of 28 sequential folio gatherings: ([Q2] R - 2T 2U1): pp. 61-168. It thus includes the printed record of daily proceedings from March 3d, 1784 - May 11th, 1784. Modest scattered foxing, the first leaf is toned, very good. There are two copies of the final leaf (2U1). *Evans* 18648, *ESTC* W16437. A very scarce survival of original folded sheets printed by Elizabeth Hunter Holt, sister to the renowned colonial Williamsburg publisher William Hunter. In 1749 she married John Holt, also of Williamsburg, whom she succeeded as printer for the state, and printer of *The New-York Journal*, which for a short time was renamed the *Independent New-York Gazette*. In June 1785 she turned over the *Journal's* proprietorship to son-in-law Eleazer Oswald, a Philadelphia newspaper publisher, because other printers were undermining the *Journal's* operation and seeking the state printership. *OCLC* locates only three copies of the complete published edition of the *Journal of the Senate* (pp. 147, [1]); and no copies of the complete published edition of the *Journal of the Assembly* (pp. 168).
