Toward the end of his life, St. George Tucker (l752-l827) collected and had bound historic pamphlets as a legacy to his son. His copy of the Virginia Bill of Rights stands as a cornerstone of this collection. With the unassuming title of "Ordinances," it is the product of the l776 convention and was penned by George Mason.
