Excerpt from Proceedings of the New York Historical Society: For the Year 1845 The last summer witnessed the national mourning for one of the most distinguished citizens of the Republic. Participating in the general sentiment that it was most proper to notice an event which took from among us an eminent citizen, distinguished by high marks of public re gard, the decease of their fellow member, andrew J ack son, was appropriately commemorated by the Society. Meeting upon a common ground where party differences were forgotten in the holy influences of the hour, one of the most eminent among our statesmen did not fail to bring to our assembly the tribute of his noble eloquence, and to lay a graceful garland upon the tomb of the departed vet eran. It is proper also to notice the recent death at Paris of Mr. David B. Warden, an honorary member, whose name has long been familiar to those who feel an interest in the sub jcet of American History. Of foreign birth, Mr. Warden came to this country at the close Of the last century, and for a considerable period was occupied in the comparative ly humble Sphere of teacher in an academy in this State. He accompanied General Armstrong to France as Secreta ry of Legation, and subsequently for many years filled the station of American Consul at Paris. He was a member of several foreign literary societies, and a man Of deep and varied learning. His attention was early directed to the collecting of books relative to the history of America, and during his long residence in France, he succeeded in form ing two valuable libraries, mostly confined to the subject named. The first of these was purchased some years Since by Harvard University, and the second during the past year by the State Of New York.
