It has been my good fortune to read to the Society this series of papers of which it is not too much to say that none have RESOLUTIONS 81

ever been received with more interest or satisfaction. It is certainly to be hoped that they will hereafter be preserved in a permanent form--at once a valuable contribution to the his-torical literature of the State, and an enduring memorial of his peculiar services to the cause of history and interest in the objects of this Society. And this brings vividly to me the recollections of my own personal intercourse with Judge Macdonald.
