BLUE LAWS

BLUE LAWS (IN U. S. HISTORY), codes of laws of remarkable severity against minor offenses, based upon the Mosaic law, so far as applicable, said to have been adopted by the original settlers of Connecticut and New Hampshire. Their existence, in the form commonly attributed to them, has been frequently disproved.

—See Code of 1650, with extracts from the laws of New Haven, commonly called Blue Laws; Trumbull's True Blue Laws; 107 Blackwood's Magazine; 30 New Englander.
