Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, Vol. 4: October, 1885 April, 1887 The Fourth Volume of the New Series of Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, herewith presented, includes the proceedings of four regular meetings, from October, 1885, to April, 1887, inclusive. The stated meetings of the Council, held during the same time, have fortunately been occupied only with routine matters and with shaping the business of the meetings of the Society. The reports of the Council contain, In addition to memorial notices of deceased members, essays by the gentlemen charged with their preparation, upon subjects of general Interest. The Rev. Dr. Peabody treats, in his charming manner, of the Fallacies of History. Mr. Samuel S. Green shows that both Pilgrims and Puritans supported their ministers by voluntary contributions; and this, too, largely from principle rather than from convenience merely. Dr. Charles Deane refutes some broad charges which have at various times been brought against Massachusetts In the matter of the slave-trade. And in a discussion of the Great Charitable Trusts of Great Britain, Mr. Charles A. Chase brings out some facts about the origin as well as the financial condition of the universities, the great schools, the hospitals and certain other trusts. In the autumn of 1885 "Lechford´s Note-book" was published as Vol. VII. of the "Transactions." The history of this work, and the manner in which it came into the Society´s hands, are described by the Rev. Dr. Hale on page 6, et seq. of the current volume. Thomas Wentworth Hlgginson, Edward H. Thompson (U. S. Consul at Merida, Yucatan), J. Evarts Greene, and Prof. Franklin B. Dexter furnish elaborate papers, and Prof. Frederick W. Putnam and Andrew McF. Davis make Interesting communications. At the April, 1887, meeting.
