From 1847 to 1865, he served with both groups of commissioners convened for this task and, more than any other individual, was responsible for the drafting of all of the codes. This draft of the penal code was issued for public comment. It was completed on December 1864, just before Noyes' death. Noyes was a prominent New York City lawyer. A man of extensive learning, he was an important member of the Code Commission. "L. Tremain" may be Lyman Tremain [1819-1878], a fellow New York jurist and politician who served as the state attorney general from 1858-1859 (defeating Noyes, who ran on the Republican ticket). John Mack, a former owner of this book, may have been the notable nineteenth-century New York publisher. Babbitt, Hand-List of Legislative Sessions and Session Laws 364.
