my approval OF what has been accomplished by
this society In furtherance or the object which
1t was founded. 1t is asserted upon what l sup

wish that for aiding to transmit his fame TO future
generations OF his countrymen, for kindling In
thelr hearts The nane OF patriotism, and Tor In
structing them IN the principles OF constitutional
government, there should be disseminated far and
wide among them such recorded efforts or his genius
as seemed most worthy to be thus preserved.
