Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, Vol. 3: October, 1883 April, 1885 The Third Volume of the New Series of the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society includes the proceedings of the four regular meetings of the Society ft om October, 1888, to April, 1885, inclusive, and of special meetings of the Council held to take action upon the death of our associate, the Hon. Dwight Foster, and that of the Hon. Stephen Salisbury, our President for thirty years. The reports of the Council include an interesting incident in the life of Alexander Hamilton, by the Hon. George Bancroft; a discussion of the origin of towns and their relations to the State, by Judge P. Emory Aldrich; facts concerning the first essays at banking and the first paper money in New England, presented by Dr. J. Hammond Trumbull; and the obligations of New England to the county of Kent, by our President, the Hon. George F. Hoar. At the annual meeting in October, 1884, a fitting memorial of President Salisbury was read by the Rev. Dr. Andrew P. Peabody. The report of that meeting also includes a letter from the Hon. George Bancroft to Dr. Peabody, and accounts of the action of the Massachusetts Historical Society and the New England Historic Genealogical Society, with the remarks of President Robert C. Winthrop of the former society, - all called forth by Mr. Salisbury´s death. The papers presented at the several meetings cover a wide range, and will be found worthy of a place in our proceedings. The list of writers includes Prof. Heinrich Fischer of Freiburg, the Hon. Hamilton B.Staples, Dr. Daniel G. Brinton, Dr. Ph. J. J. Valentini, Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge, Prof. Henry W. Haynes and Prof. Franklin B. Dexter. Obituary notices of the associates who have died during the two years are given in the reports of the Council and in papers by other members. A very satisfactory likeness of President Salisbury, from an engraving on steel, accompanies the volume. The Index is from the hands of the Librarian and Mr. Colton his assistant.
