The Massachusetts Spy

BOSTON, OCT. 26.

Antiquarian Society.—An annual meeting of this National Institution was held on Tuesday. Isaiah Thomas, Esq. was re-chosen President; and the Rev. Aaron Bancroft, D. D. and the Hon. DeWitt Clinton, Vice-Presidents—the latter gentleman in the room of the Hon. Timothy Bigelow, deceased. The Hon. Edward H. Robbins, Benjamin Russell, Esq. Rev. William Jenks, Rev. Charles Lowell, Thomas L. Winthrop, Esq. [this gentleman was chosen in the room of the Hon. James Winthrop, deceased,] Hon. Oliver Fiske, Hon. Abijah Bigelow, Hon. Levi Lincoln, Samuel Jennison, and Edward D. Bangs, Esq'rs. were chosen Counsellors; Rejoice Newton, Esq. Recording Secretary, and James C. Merrill, Esq. Assistant Recording Secretary. Committees reported, that the communications to the Society on subjects connected with the Antiquities of our country had increased to an extent nearly sufficient to form another volume—that the elegant Edifice erected at Worcester, for the safe keeping of the Library, Documents, and Cabinet of the Society, was entirely completed and well filled; and that many additions to all the departments of it have been made since the last meeting. Few travellers pass through Worcester without stopping to view the Library and Cabinet, and all express the high satisfaction they afford to every one who feels an interest in the preservation of memorials of the origin of our beloved country and nation.
