Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Chicago Historical Society: To the Governor of Illinois To His Excellency, Richard Yates, Governor etc: Sir: - In compliance with a law passed by the Legislature of Illinois, in 1860, granting to the Chicago Historical Society fifty copies of all publications of the State, on certain conditions - among which, it was required that the Society should communicate, biennially, an account of its transactions, for the information of the people of the State - I have the honor, in the Society´s behalf, and by its direction, to submit to your Excellency the following Report: This Society was organized at Chicago, April 24th, 1856, and received its charter from the State, February 7th, 1857. Its objects, as expressed in its constitution, are - "1. To encourage historical inquiry, and spread historical information, especially within the State of Illinois, and also within the entire territory of the Northwest - to embrace, alike, their aboriginal and modern history. "2. The particular objects of this association shall be: First, the establishment of a library of books and publications, appropriate to such an institution, with convenient works of reference, and also a cabinet of antiquities, relics, etc. Second, the collection, into a safe and permanent depository, of manuscripts, documents, papers and tracts, possessing an historical value and worthy of preservation. Third, to encourage investigation of aboriginal remains, and, more particularly, to provide for the complete exploration and survey of such aboriginal monuments as exist within the limits of this State, and at the earliest day. Fourth, to collect and preserve such historical materials, as shall serve to illustrate the settlement and growth of the city of Chicago." It was deemed fortunate for the Society, that it possessed, as its first President, (who but recently resigned his place,) a gentleman, (Mr. William H. Brown,) an early citizen of this State, well known and esteemed, and conversant with the men and the events most conspicuous in our State history.
