^Alexander McDougal and all those of the former revolutionary leaders who were included in that Committee, as will be seen in the course of this narrative, on the twenty-third of May, by a formal vote, concurred with their aristocratic, anti-revolutionary associates in condemning the proposition of the Town of Boston and in offering another, in its stead ; it remained only for .lohn Lamb and those who had not been favored with seats in that body, to continue their agreement, in politii-al affairs, with the revolutionary leaders, in Boston.

It will be seen, also, in the course of this narrative, that Boston was not sustained, in her unreasonable demands, b^' any of the Committees of the larger Towns and Cities, in other Colonies.

<"0n Tuesday Evening, arrived here Mr. Revere, who came ICxpress "from Boston, which he left on Saturday, about 2 o'clock in the After- " noon."-- (Holt's New-York Journal, l\o. 1637, New-Yohk, Thursday, May lU, 1774.)

Reference is made to a letter which was written by Thomas Young, immediately after the adjournment of the Town-Meeting, May 13, and addressed to John Lamb, in the City of New York. It may be seen among the "Lamb Papers," in the Library of the New York Historical Society ; and every student of the history of that eventful period will be amply re-paid fjr whatever time he may spend in a careful perusal of it.

**The Minult'sof the Committeeof Con-esjiondence, " Nkw York, Monday, " Maij 23, 1774," contain a record of the reading ot " Lettei-s from the ** Committee of Correspondence of Boston, with a Vote of the Town of " Boston, of the 13th instant, and a Letter from the Connnittee of Phil- "adelpliia ; " and, in the absence of any allusion to any other letter whatever, there is no reaiion for supposing that anything, in luldition to those three lettei-s, was received from any other organization or person, at Boston or elsewhere.
