Note 294 — Chapter I · (continued 3)

The articles were printed in all newspapers, and in those of Boston, Nov. 7th. They are also in the Journals of Congress, i. 23; in Ramsay's Rev. in South Carolina, i. 252; in H. W. Preston's Docs. illus. Amer. Hist. (N. Y., 1886), p. 199; in Force, 4th ser., i. 915, with fac-simile of signatures; in the Charleston Year Book (1883), p. 216, with fac-similes; in Jos. Johnson's Traditions and Reminiscences of the Amer. Rev. (Charleston, 1851), p. 51, with fac-similes. The signatures, somewhat reduced, are given herewith from Smith's Hist. and Lit. Curiosities, 2d ser., p. liii. Maryland's copy of the original printed broadside, with written signatures, is in the Penna. Hist. Soc. library. Frothingham gives the best account of the genesis of the document and the effect it had (Rise of the Republic, 373, 396). In Massachusetts, a broadside Resolution of the Provincial Congress, signed by Hancock, Dec. 6th, was sent to all the ministers, urging them to give their influence to secure a general compliance (in Boston Pub. Lib., H. 90 a, 3). This plan of association was opposed by Galloway, Duane, and all the South Carolina delegates except Gadsden. Jones (N. Y. during the Rev., i. 438) gives the loyalist view. The association of the delegates, etc., by Bob Jinger, is a burlesque on the association (Harris Collection of Amer. Poetry, p. 13).
