Note 377 — Chapter II
Reading edition
It was before long known what a reception these delegates had had in New York, and how the crowd were with difficulty prevented from taking the horses from Hancock's carriage and drawing it. N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1865, p. 135. The journey of the delegates to Philadelphia in May, 1775, is described in the Deane Correspondence (Conn. Hist. Soc. Coll., ii. 222, etc.), and Jones (N. Y. during the Rev., i. 45) describes their reception.
