3 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 John Lamb and those who had not been favored with seats in that body, to continue their agreement, in political 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, by any of the Committees of the larger Towns and Cities, in other Colonies.

*"0n Tuesday Evening, arrived here Mr. Revere, who came Express " from Boston, which he left on Saturday, about 2 o'clock in the After- "noon." -- (Holt's New-York Jowncri, No. 1637, New-York, Thursday, May 19, 1774.)

6 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 for whatever time he may spend in a careful perusal of it.

6 The M mutes of the Committee of Correspondence, " New Yobk, Monday, "May 23, 1774," contain a record of the reading of " Letters from the " Committee of Correspondence of Boston, with a Vote of the Town of " Boston, of the 13th instant, and a Letter from the Committee of Phil- < ' adelphia ; " and, in the absence of any allusion to any other letter whatever, there is no reason for supposing that anything, in addition to those three letters, was received from any other organization or person, at Boston or elsewhere.
