Sargent's Code, 1799 Sargent's Code : A Collection of the Original Laws of the Mississippi Territory Enacted 1799-1800 by Governor Winthrop Sargent and the Territorial Judges. Prepared by The Historical Records Survey, Division of Professional and Service Projects, Works Progress Administration. The Historical Records Survey. Jackson, Mississippi. June, 1939.

["The first laws for the government of the Mississippi Territory approved by Act of Congress, April 7, 1798, are known collectively as Sargent's Code. The published copies of these first Territorial laws are exceedingly rare. In fact, there are only three known copies in existence. Needless to say, none of these are in Mississippi or in the South for that matter... The original published copy contains but 25 of the total 46 laws promulgated over the period from February 28, 1799 to October 30, 1800. All of Sargent's laws for the government of the Mississippi Territory are herein collected and appear therefore for the first time in this edition by the Historical Records Survey." Excerpt from the 1939 Introduction; ix, 168 p.; Call No. : KFM 6630 1799 A22]
