Note 595 — Chapter IX · (continued 2)

A copy of the rare first edition is in the library of the American Antiquarian Society, from which twenty copies were reprinted by Mr. Hoadly, Secretary of State of Connecticut, in 1858. The important subject of this confederation is sufficiently illustrated in a lecture by John Quincy Adams, in 1843, published in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll., ix. 187. [See references to reprints of the articles, and notes on the Confederacy in Memorial History of Boston, i. 299.—Ed.]
