Such being the facts, how is it possible that my late cousin knew or suspected that any portion of his prized manuscript book had been, or could have been, Copied? Or that he would have safi'er ed it, seeing that he was preserving everything to enrich the pages of his own proposed book?
As to the challenge above alluded to, tho obliging answer to it as given in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society for April to June, 1884, clears up many obscurities, but not all. The lending of the volume was fair and Open, but there is a point beyond this which invites attention. There is every permission to read, but no permission to copy. And my cousin, in his letter of January 7, 1843, (which accompanied the book,) when alluding principally to the pages containing the conversation with the King, uses the words to read them and further down he says and therefore am proud to forward for your perusal the enclosed. Surely there is no permission here to make any copy, but only to read and so the Ambassador evidently understood it, for when writing to Mrs. Everett, January 8, he says He has sent me to-day, to read, a part of his grandfather's private Journal, which has never seen the light. Mr. Rives, his Secretary of Legation, having transcribed so much as was desired, he stamped the act with his approval on the first of February, by appending thereto his sign manual.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and tumultuous period leading up to the American Revolution through the personal diaries and letters of Thomas Hutchinson, a prominent figure in colonial Massachusetts. The author meticulously compiles and presents these primary source materials, offering a unique and intimate glimpse into the political and social dynamics that shaped this pivotal historical moment. The book highlights the contrasting perspectives of both the British and colonial sides of the conflict, providing rich insight into the complex and evolving relationship between Great Britain and its American colonies. Through Hutchinsonââ â¢s writings, readers gain access to his firsthand experiences as a key player in the escalating tensions, as he navigates the turbulent waters of political discourse, administrative challenges, and the growing sentiment for independence.
