Although no action, on that subject, appears to have been taken by the Meeting, its master-spirit and Chairman, in his official capacity, appears to have continued the work for which the Meeting had been convened, completing it before he left the White Plains, by preparing an official narrative of the origin of the Meeting ; of the Caucus which had " recom- " mended " it; of its Proceedings, when convened; and of its noisy loyalty to that " gracious Sove- " reign " whose recognized authority it had so boldly assailed. That narrative was duly published ; and, at the e.xpense of repeating some matters of which mention has been already made, as an important portion of the historical literature of Westchestercounty, a place is made for it, in this work. It was in the following words :

" White Plains, ix the County of AVestchestfr " the 11th day of April 1775. "On the 28th day of March last, the following " Gentlemen having received letters from the Chair- " man of the Committee of the City and County of " New-York relative to the appointment of Deputies " for this County, met at this place for the purpose of " devising means for taking the Sense of this County " upon the Subject, viz :
