"This index provides access to a major source of information for post colonial Virginia--the public and private laws of the Commonwealth. While many will find the private laws--those that granted divorce, established pension for a veteran who didn't qualify under current law, paid individuals for goods and services, allowed a free Negro to remain in Virginia contrary to law or provided relief to individuals who sought exemption or special treatment in regard to everything from inheritance to an inconveniently placed road, others will find the ability to track the changes in tax or inheritance law, the requirements regarding militia duty or any of the items that came under the authority of the General Assembly the most valuable. Although the index provides both the date, i.e. 1814/15 and a page number, the page number is keyed to the original bills enrolled on single sheets of parchment and not to the published version. Once the session is determined researchers can use the index in that volume to get to the proper page. Although getting to the proper bill requires this two step process, the ability to search a single volume in order to determine what laws were passed and when they were passed rather than the over 130 individual indexes is still of value beyond measure"--Back cover.
