THE CHARTER AND BY-LAWS, WITH A HISTORY OF The Chamber of Commerce of the State of Low-York. INSTITUTED APRIL 5, 1768; INCORPORATED MARCH 13, 1770; CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF NE NEW-YORK: PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE CHAMBER. NOTE. THE original Charter of the Chamber of Commerce, written on parchment, and contained in a mahogany case, which was enclosed in a tin box, is believed to have been preserved at the time of the destruction of the Merchants' Exchange by fire, in December, 1835. Since that time, although diligent inquiry has been made, no trace has been found of it. This notice is made, in the hope that the members of the Chamber will assist in an effort to recover a record of such antiquity and interest. Information on the subject is requested by the Secretary.
