Paine Wingate's Annotated Copy of 'A bill to establish the judicial courts of the United States'

Sometime between June 16th and July 17th, 1789, Senator Paine Wingate of New Hampshire made these annotations on his personal copy of the Judicial Bill (which eventually became the Judiciary Act of 1789) as the Senate debated. These copies were sent to me from the Rauner Special Collections Library, Dartmouth College (Call No. E 310 .B54).
