Synopsis
Excerpt from The Magazine of History With Notes and Queries, Vol. 4: Extra Numbers 13-16
Responding to the flattering invitation extended by this Society,' I come tonight to recall the image of one who a century ago was the honored chief magistrate of this commonwealth - who acted a conspicuous part in our colonial struggle for independence - who was numbered among the earliest and the most zealous Sons of Liberty - whose reputation, both civil and military, was free from all alloy - who bore himself on every occasion as a courageous man and a worthy citizen - who sleeps in an unmarked grave within cannon-range of this Hall in which we are now assembled to render tribute to his virtues - and of whom, so far as our information ex tends, we possess no portrait save such as his own brave hand has painted on the historic canvas.
