[Rhode Island]:

AN ACT TO INCORPORATE THE CODDINGTON FIVE CENTS SAVINGS BANK IN NEWPORT.

[Providence: c. 1860]. Folio, [4] pp folded to 8-1/2" x 14-1/8". Pale blue paper, printed on middle two pages only. Final blank leaf with contemporary accounting notes, evidently by a Rhode Island farmer. Very Good.

Members of the Coddington family were politically prominent in Rhode Island's and Newport's civic and political life from the 17th century onward. This memento of the Coddington savings bank appears to be unrecorded. "Deposits made by married women personally may be legally withdrawn by them."
