meeting Of the Friends which was ever held in
New-England, was held in the ancient and almost
dilapidated mansion now owned by the widow oil
Macintosh Alexander. in Marlborough street,
which was at that time the residence of the vene-

a number Of years after Coddington's settlement
on this island, he was visited by that distinguished
reformer George Fox, and from that period it is
presumed Coddngton embraced Fox's religious
sentiments, and was a strict member of the Society
