"The Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia, 1619-1776 are the official minutes of the lower house of the colonial Virginia legislature. Throughout the colonial period, the legislature met frequently but irregularly, with sessions lasting from a few days to several weeks; in some years, the legislature did not meet at all."--Section of book, pg. _ or v. _
