This was issued at Boston, some time after the founding of the Society.
It was a small booklet of twelve pages containing a statement of the
Society’s objects, a list of the officers, and other matter bearing upon
the work of the organization. So much interest was displayed, that the
edition was soon exhausted.

To a certain extent, this was a second edition of the previous
publication, but larger and more comprehensive. It comprised 32 pages,
and had a portrait of President-General Meade as a frontispiece. The
