Excerpt from Addresses and Speeches on Various Occasions, From 1878 to 1886 Another Serial Number of our Proceedings is on our table this morning. It forms the conclusion of a new volume, which, thanks to the unwearied devotion of our Secretary, will soon be forthcoming. There is nothing more interesting in this number, - nor, indeed, in any Of the Serials or Volumes which have preceded it, I think, than the Extracts from the Journal of Thomas Hutchinson, Governor of Massachusetts, containing the record of his conversation with George III., in July, 1774, im mediately on the arrival of Hutchinson in England, after he was superseded in the Government Of Massachusetts by General Gage. We are indebted for this valuable paper to our Honorary Member, the historian bancroft, from whom it came to Mr. Frothingham; and the paper is verified by the Signature of Edward Everett, under whose direction - while he was our Minister at London - the copy was made by his Secretary Of Legation, Mr. Francis R. Rives, in 1843. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
