: Scarinci had the time to write a book so the conditions of graft and corruption must be good for Menedude and the Donald if he has the time to kick back and stroke a book out.

: The Lawrence Historical Society will host a reception on Aug. 6 feting a new book about David Brearley, a key player in the formation of the U.S. Constitution, and a cousin of James Brearley, of Lawrence. 

: New Jersey is home to a lot of unsung heroes. The Lawrence Historical Society wants to sing out about a recent book about one such local hero.
:    The Historical Society will honor new author Donald Scarinci for his book, "David Brearley and the Making of the United States Constitution" at a reception on Aug. 6 at the Brearley House on Meadow Road.
:    Mr. Scarinci is the founding partner of Scarinci & Hollenbeck, a law firm based in Lyndhurst. He became interested in David Brearley's achievements through personal research.
:    "It started when I was legal council to Gov. McGreevy's transition team," said Mr. Scarinci of Allendale. "The transition office was right across from the state archives. I went in, in the afternoons, to see what was there, and I discovered a wealth of original letters. It piqued my curiosity about David Brearley. The more I researched, the more I thought he was more important than was accepted."
:    David Brearly was selected by the delegates to be the chairman of the Committee on Post-poned Matters in 1787, and in four days the committee developed two ideas that would the fledgling country's political landscape — the vice presidency and the Electoral College. These ideas had never been discussed before, said Mr. Scarinci.
:    The history of government and its inner workings have been a longtime interest for Mr. Scarinci.
:    "I love government and have been involved in government my entire career as a lawyer," said Mr. Scarinci. People who like cars take them apart; people who like government take the Constitution apart, he quipped.
:    Mr. Scarinci said he has spent some time at the Brearley House, and he praised the members of Historical Society for their efforts.
:    "That's the most important work we in New Jersey can ever do — to preserve our past," said Mr. Scarinci.
:    The Brearley House was built for James Brearley, David Brearley's cousin, in 1761 in Maidenhead, later renamed Lawrence Township, said Janet Bickal, president of the Historical Society.
:    The township purchased the property in 1978. The house was restored in 2000, with funds raised by the Lawrence Historical Society, Lawrence Township and the New Jersey Historical Trust, she said.
:    Ms. Bickal said David Brearley made crucial contributions to the development of the Constitution.
:    "David Brearley was a New Jersey delegate to the Constitutional Convention, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and he fought in the Revolution with Washington," she said. "He was born in Cherry Grove Farm."
:    The Historical Society hosts a vast array of events at the Brearley House throughout the year.
:    "The house opened in May 2001," said Ms. Bickal. "Every year, eighth-grade Lawrence Middle School students come with professional archaeologists and dig in the meadow. On the first Saturday of every month, the house is open for a tour. There is also a bonfire every New Year's Eve."
:    The book can be purchased online at www.njheritage.org or by contacting Sean Hughes at (201) 964-2397 or shughes@mww.com. For more information about the New Jersey Historical Society, visit www.thelhs.org.
