"The table."--[15] p., 2nd count. An index to the Acts. Sometimes found bound after the title page to the Acts.
"Acts and laws, of His Majesty's colony of Rhode-Island, and Providence-Plantations, in New-England, in America."--[2], 308 p., with separate title page, dated 1745.
Evans entry 5483 calls for the Charter and the Acts and laws, each with imprint date 1744; no copy of the Acts and laws dated 1744 is known, and the entry is likely a ghost of Evans 5683. Evans entry 5484 calls for the Charter only, and notes "Usually found bound with the Acts and laws of 1745." Evans entry 5683 calls for the Charter (with imprint date 1744), followed by the Acts and laws (with imprint date 1745).
