THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI 
 
 One hundred and twelve years ago the Continental Line of 
 the Army of the Revolution \v;is in oantunnient on the banks of 
 the Hudson. It was that critical period in the history of our 
 country which intervened between the cessation of hostilities 
 and the founding of a new government. Friendships formed 
 between the officers during the long struggle had grown into 
 warm attachments amidst common dangers, privations and suf- 
 ferings. The desire to perpetuate these associations, and to 
 transmit them to coming generations, was the sentiment wliich 
 gave birth to the Society of the Cincinnati, and no organization 
 owes its origin to nobler purposes or more interesting circum- 
 stances. 
 
 Judge Marshall, in his "'Life of Washington,"' speaks thus 
 of the feelings which prompted the formation of the Associ- 
 ation : — 
 
 "Of the sentiments with which the officers of the American 
 army contemplated a final separation from each other, those 
 only can be incapable of forming an idea, who are strangers to 
 the choicest feelings of the human heart. Companions in 
 virtuous suffering, in danger, and in glory : attached to each 
 other by common exertions made in a severe struggle for the 
 attainment of a common object ; to part forever they deemed a 
 calamity too affecting to be supported. The means of perpetu- 
 ating those friendships which had been formed, and of renew- 
 ing that endearing social intercoiirse which had taken jjlace in 
 camp, were universally desired ; some expedient which might 
 preserve the memory of the army, while it cheered the officers 
 who were on the jjoint of separating, with the hope that the 
 separation would not be eternal ; that at distant intervals they 
 might still communicate with each other ; that the bonds by 
 which they were connected could not be totally dissolved ; and 
 that for many beneticial purposes the patriots of the American 
 army would still form one great Society." 
 
 The officers of the Line therefore determined to create a 
 permanent Military Order, which should perpetuate and 
 
2 THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 
 
 strengthen the ties formed in the service, and provide a fund 
 wherewith to pension indigent children of the members of the 
 Association. 
 
 Who first conceived the plan is uncertain, but it was proba- 
 bly Gen. Henry Knox, though the idea may have been origi- 
 nally suggested to him by Baron von Steuben. John Adams 
 sarcastically called the institution a French blessing, and it is 
 ■possible that the presence of the many foreign officers, wearing 
 the decoration of the military order of St. Louis, may have 
 given birth to the desire for a similar distinction. 
 
 That Knox, however, had long cherished some such idea 
 is proved by a paragraph bearing date of 16th March, 1788, in 
 Jefferson's "Memorandum of a tour in Holland," which refers 
 to a meeting at a tavern in New York as early as 1776 of Wash- 
 ington, Knox, Lee and Adams : — 
 
 "They talked of ancient history ; of Fabius who used to 
 raise the Romans from the dust ; and Knox said he should wish 
 for some ribbon to wear in his hat or in his button-hole, to be 
 transmitted to his descendants as a badge and proof that he had 
 fought in defence of their liberties. He spoke of it in such 
 precise terms as showed he had revolved it in his mind before. 
 Baron Steuben did not arrive in America till above a year after 
 that." 
 
 A rough draft of the proposed organization in the hand- 
 writing of Gen. Knox, dated West Point, 15th April, 1783, still 
 exists, endorsed by him as a "Rough draft of a Society to be 
 formed by the American officers and to be called 'The Cincin- 
 nati'." This was presented to a meeting of officers called for 
 that purpose on May 10th, and was referred to a committee 
 consisting of Generals Knox, Hand, Huntingdon and Captain 
 Shaw. Their revision of it was finally accepted on 13th May, 
 1783, at a general meeting of officers representing all the regi- 
 ments, which was presided over by Gen. von Steuben, and was 
 held at his headquarters in the Verplanck House, near Fishkill. 
 
 It is as follows : — 
 
 INSTITUTION. 
 
 " It having pleased the Supreme Governor of the Universe, in the disposition of 
 human aflairs, to cause the separation of the colonies of North America from the 
 domination of Great Britain, and, after a bloody conflict of eight years, to establish 
 
THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 3 
 
 them free, independent, and sovereign States, connected, by alliances founded on 
 reciprocal advantage, with some of tlie greatest princes and powers of the earth. 
 
 "To perpetuate, therefore, as well the remembrance of this vast event, as the 
 mutual friendships which have been formed under the pressure of common danger, 
 and, in many instances, cemented by the blood of the parties, the officers of the 
 American Army do, hereby, in the most solemn manner, associate, constitute and com- 
 bine themselves into one Socicty of Friends, to endure as long as they shall endure, 
 or any of their eldest male posterity, and, in failure thereof, the collateral branches who 
 may be judged worthy of becoming its supporters and members. 
 
 "The officers of the American Army having generally been taken from the citizens 
 of America, possess high veneration for the character of that illustrious Roman, Lucius 
 Qui.NTius CiNCix.NATus ; and being resolved to follow his example, by returning to 
 their citizenship, they think they may with propriety denominate themselves 
 
 THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 
 
 "The following principles shall be immutable and form the basis of The Society of 
 the Cincinnati: 
 
 " An ince&sant attention to preserve inviolate those exalted rights and liberties of 
 human nature for which they have fought and bled, and without which the high 
 rank of a rational being is a curse instead of a blessing. 
 
 "An imalterable determination to promote and cherish, between the respective 
 States, that union and national honor so essentially necessary to their happiness, and 
 the future dignity of the American empire. 
 
 "To render periDanent the cordial affection subsisting among the officers. This 
 spirit will dictate brotherly kindness in all things, and particularly, extend to the most 
 substantial acts of beneficence, according to the ability of the Society, towards those 
 officers and their families who unfortunately may be under the neces.«ity of receiving it. 
 
 "The General Society will, for the sake of frequent communications, be divided 
 into State Societies, and these again into such districts as shall be directed by the State 
 Society. 
 
 "The Societies of the districts to meet as often as shall be agi-eed upon by the State 
 Society, those of the States on the fourth day of July annually, or oftener, if they shall 
 find it expedient, and the General Society on the first Monday in May, annually, so 
 long as they shall deem it necessary, and afterwards, at least once in every three years. 
 
 "At each meeting, the principles of the Institution will be fully considered, and 
 the best measures to promote them adopted. 
 
 "The State Societies will consist of all the members resident in each State respec- 
 tively; and any member removing fi'om one State to another, is to be considered, in 
 all respects, as belonging to the Society of the State in which he shall actually reside. 
 
 "The State Societies to have a Pre.'^itlent, \'ice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and 
 .Assistant Treasurer, to be chosen annually, by a majority of votes, at the State meeting. 
 
 "Each State meeting shall write annually, or oftener, if necessary, a circular letter, 
 to the other State Societies, noting whatever they may think worthy of observation, 
 respecting the good of the Society, or the general union of the States, and giving 
 mformation of the officers chosen for the current year. Copies of these letters shall be 
 regularly transmitted to the Secretary-General of the Society, who will record them in 
 a book to be assigned for that purpose. 
 
 " The State Society mil regulate everything respecting itself and the Societies of its 
 districts consistent with the general maxims of the Cincinnati, judge of the qualifica- 
 tions of the members who may be proposed, and expel any member who, by a conduct 
 
4 THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 
 
 inconsistent withi a gentleman and a man of honor, or by an opposition to the interests 
 of the community in general, or the Society in particular, may render himself unworthy 
 to continue a member. 
 
 "In order to form funds which may be respectable, and assist the unfortunate, 
 each officer shall deliver to the Treasurer of the State Society one month's pay, which 
 shall remain forever to the use of tlie State Society ; the interest only of which, if neces- 
 sary, to be appropriated to the relief of the unfortunate. 
 
 "Donations may be made by persons not of the Society, and by membere of the 
 Society, for the express purpose of forming permanent funds for the use of the State 
 Society, and the interests of these donations appropriated in the same manner as that 
 of the month's pay. 
 
 " Moneys, at the pleasure of each member, may be subscribed in the Societies of 
 the districts, or the State Societies, for the relief of the unfortunate members, or their 
 widows and orphans, to l>e appropriated by the State Society only. 
 
 " The meeting of the General Society shall consist of its officers and a representation 
 from each State Society, in number not exceedhig five, whose expenses shall be borne 
 by their respective State Societies. 
 
 " In the general meeting, the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Assistant 
 Secretary, Treasurer, and Assistant Treasurer-General, shall be chosen, to serve until 
 the next meeting. 
 
 " The circular' letters which have been wTitten by the raspective State Societies to 
 each other, and their particular laws, shall be read and considered, and all measures 
 concerted which may conduce to the general intendment of the Society. 
 
 "It is probable that some persons may make donations to the General Society, for 
 the purpose of establishing funds for tire further comfort of the unfortunate, in which 
 case such donations must be placed in the hands of the Treasurer-General, the interest 
 only of which to be disposed of, if necessary, by the general meeting. 
 
 " All the officers of the American army, as well those who have resigned with 
 honor, after three years' service in the capacity of officer?, or who have been deranged 
 by the resolutions of Congress, ujjon the several reforms of the army, as those who 
 shall have continued to the end of the war, have the right to become parties to this 
 Institution ; provided that they subscribe one month's pa}', and sign their names to tlie 
 general rules, in their respective State Societies, those who are present with tlie Ar'my 
 immeeliately, and others within six months after the Army shall be disbanded, extra- 
 ordinary cases excepted ; the rank, time of service, resolutions of Congress by which 
 any have been deranged, and place of residence, must be added to each name; and as a 
 testimony of affection to the memory and the offspring of such officers as have died in 
 the service, their eldest male branches shall have the same right of becoming members, 
 as the children of the actual members of the Society. 
 
 "Those officers who are foreigners, not resident in any of the States, will have their 
 names enrolled by the Secretary-General, and are to be considered as membere in the 
 Societies of any of the States in which they may happen to be. 
 
 "And as there are, and will at all times be, men in the re.spective States, eminent 
 for their abilities and patriotism, whose views may be directed to the same laudable 
 objects with those of the Cincinnati, it shall be a rule to admit such characters as 
 Honorary Members of the Society, for their own Uves only : Provided always, that 
 the number of Honorary Members, in each State, does not exceed a ratio of one to 
 four of the officers or their descendants. 
 
 "Each State Society shall obtain a list of it.« members, and at the first annual 
 meeting, the State Secretary shall have engrossed, on parchment, two copies of the 
 Institution of the Society, which every member present shall sign, and the Secretary

 ehall eiiileavor to procure the si-fiiature of every absent member ; one of those lists to 
 be transmitteil to the Secretary-General, to be kept in the archives of the Society, and 
 the other to remain in the hands of the State Secretary. From the State lists, the 
 Secretary-Cieneral must make out, at the tirst s<eneral meeting, a complete list of the 
 whole Society, with a cojiy of which he will furnish each State Secretary. 
 
 "The Society shall have an Order, by which its members shall be known and 
 distinguished, which shall be a medal of gold, of a proper size to receive the emblems, 
 and suspended by a deep blue ribbon, two inches wide, edged with white, descriptive of 
 the union of France and America, viz.:

 The .Society, deeply impres.seil with a sense of the generous assistance this country 
 has received from France, and desirous of perpetuating the fiiendships which have 
 been formed, and so happily subsisted, between the officers of the alUed forces, in the 
 prosecution of the war, direct, that the President-General transmit, as soon as may be, 
 to each of the characters hereafter named, a medal containing the Order of the Society, 
 viz.: 
 
 His Excellency the Chevaliek de l.\. Luzek.s'k, .Minister Plenipotentiary, 
 His Excellency the Siei'R Ger.^rd, late Minister Plenipotentiary. 
 Their Excellencies 
 
 The Count U' EsT.\iNe, 
 
 The Count de Gkasse, 
 
 The Count de Barras, 
 
 The Chevalier de Touches, 
 
 .\duiirals and Commandei's in the Navy, 
 
6 THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 
 
 His Excellency the Count de Rochambeau, Commander-in-Chief, 
 
 And the Generals and Colonels of his army, and acquaint them, that the Society 
 
 does itself the honor to consider them members. 
 
 Resolved, That a copy of the aforegoing Institution be given to the senior ofKcer of 
 
 each State line, and that the officers of the respective State lines, sign their names to the 
 
 same, in manner and form following, viz. : 
 
 " We, the subscribers, officersof the American army, do hereby voluntarily become 
 parties to the foregoing Institution, and do bind ourselves to ob.?erve, and be governed 
 by, the principles therein contained. For the performance whereof we do solemnly 
 pledge to each other our sacred honor. 
 
 " Done in the Cantonment, on Hudson's River, in the year 1783." 
 That the members of the Society, at the time of subscribing their names to the 
 Institution, do also sign a draft on the Paymaster-General, in the following terms (the 
 regiments to do it regimentally, and the generals and other officers not belonging to 
 regiments, each for himself, individually), viz. : 
 
 "Jo John Pierce, Esquire, Paynuister- General to the Army of the United Slates. 
 
 Sir.- Please pay to Treasurer for the State Association of the Cin- 
 cinnati, or his order, one month's pay of our several grades respectively, and deduct 
 the same from the balance which shall be found due to us on the final liquidation of 
 our accounts; for which this shall be your warrant." 
 
 That the members of the several State Societies assemble as soon as may be, for the 
 choice of their President and other officers ; and that the Pi-esidents correspond 
 together, and appoint a meeting of the officers who may be chosen for each State, in 
 order to pursue such further measures as may be judged necessary. 
 
 That the General officers, and the officers delegated to represent the several corps 
 of the Army, subscribe to the Institution of the General Society, for themselves and 
 theu' constituents, in the manner and form before prescribed. 
 
 That General Heath, General Baron de Steuben, and General Knox, be a 
 committee to wait on his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, with a copy of the 
 Institution, and request him to honor the Society by placing his name at the head of it. 
 
 That Major-General He.\th, second in command in this Army, be, and he hereby 
 is, desired to transmit copies of the Institution, with the proceedings thereon, to the com- 
 manding officer of the Southern Army, the senior officer in each State, from Pennsyl- 
 vania to Georgia, inclusive, and to the commanding officer of the Rhode Island line, 
 requesting them to communicate tlie same to the officers under their several commands, 
 and to take such measm-es as may appear to them necessary for expediting the estab- 
 lishment of their State Societies, and sending a delegation to represent them in the first 
 general meeting, to be holden on the first ilonday in May, 1784. 
 
 The meeting then adjourned without day. 
 
 Major L' Enfant, of the Continental Coi'ijs of Engineers, 
 to whom the design for the decoration was referred, objected 
 to a medal as an unsuitable emblem for a military order, and 
 suggested instead the Bald Eagle, as peculiar to America, and 
 distinguished from that of other climes by its white head and 
 tail. The eagle is of gold, displayed supporting on its breast 
 the medallion. G-rasped in its talons are golden olive branches, 
 with leaves of green enamel, and above its head is an olive 
 
THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 7 
 
 wreath to which is attached the bhie and white ribbon emble- 
 matic of the union of France and America. The head and tail 
 are enamelled in white, the body and wings are of gold, and 
 the medallion is enamelled in green and blue. This beautiful 
 design was accepted, and is the decoration now worn by all the 
 members of the Society. The officers of the French Navy who 
 had served in the Revolutionary War, presented to General 
 Washington the Cincinnati eagle richly set in diamonds, which 
 has been handed down to successive Presidents-General, and is 
 now in the possession of the executors of the late Hon. Hamilton 
 Fish of New York. 
 
 It is a curious fact, not generally known, that a chance 
 might have caused the Cincinnati colours to be adopted as the 
 national colours of France. When Camille Desmoulins haran- 
 gued the populace in the garden of the Palais Royal on the 
 memorable 12th of July, 1789, he proposed the adoption by the 
 revolutionists of an emblematic ribbon. "Shall it be green," 
 he said, "the symbol coloi;r of hope? Or shall it be blue, the 
 colour of the Cincinnati and of American Independence f 
 The significance of the former colour swayed the multitude to 
 its selection, but when it was remembered that the liveries of 
 the Count of Artois were green, this was changed for the red 
 and blue of the City of Paris. These, however, were also the 
 coloiars of the Duke of Orleans, and therefore to them were 
 added, at Lafayette's suggestion, the white of the old national 
 standard, thus making the famous tricolor of the flag of France. 
 
 In the early days of the Society, the ribbon and eagle of the 
 Cincinnati were frequently worn by the members, and many of 
 the portraits of the founders of the Association are painted with 
 the decoration on their breasts. At the first general meeting 
 a discussion arose as to when the badge should be worn. No 
 definite action was taken on the question, but the usage recom- 
 mended was that which has since prevailed, not to weai.' the 
 emblem on all occasions, but to reserve it for meetings of the 
 Society or when attending the funeral of deceased members. 
 
 The general Society was formally organized at the meeting 
 held in the Cantonment on the 19th of June, 1783, when the 
 eagle was adopted as the emblem of the Order, a diploma on 
 parchment was ordered to be given to each member, and General 
 
8 THE SOCIETY OF THE CrNCINNATI. 
 
 Washington was elected President-Geueral, Gen. McDougall 
 Treasurer-General, and Gen. Knox Secretary-Genei'al. 
 
 In the course of the year all of the thirteen State Societies 
 were formed. 
 
 But no sooner was the new Order established than it became 
 the object of fiercest attacks from all quarters. In our genera- 
 tion, when the Society of the Cincinnati is so limited in numbers, 
 and so entirely devoid of any political significance that the 
 mere fact of its existence is unknown to the great majority of 
 Americans, it is difiicult to understand the bitter storm of 
 opposition which it at first encountered. Writers and orators 
 throughout the country proclaimed a body existing by hered- 
 itary right would inevitably become a privileged ai-istocratic 
 class, antagonistic to the spirit of our institution and a danger- 
 ous element in a Republican commonwealth. Legislative com- 
 mittees declared the members of the Association unworthy of 
 American citizenship, and the Congress at Annapolis threatened 
 to disfranchise them unless they abolished the hereditary 
 feature of membership. 
 
 In New York the Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, 
 as it was originally called, was founded in 1789 to antagonize 
 that of the Cincinnati, and was the first of those iiltra-demo- 
 cratic organizations which glorified the French Revolution and 
 were so detested by Washington. It is a striking commentary 
 on the trustworthiness of political prophecy, that while the 
 Order of the Cincinnati has been of little weight in the history of 
 the country, and is now entirely without political intiuence, its 
 old rival, with its membership of thousands and its arbitrary, 
 though nominally democratic methods, has gone on increasing 
 in power and prestige until it has grown into the most formida- 
 ble, and possibly, the most dangerous, political organization in 
 the union. 
 
 TJie early opponents of the Cincinnati numbered in their 
 ranks many illustrious patriots and statesmen ; but they were 
 all men who had been engaged in the civil service of the gover- 
 ment during the Revolution, and while one may not doubt the 
 sincerity of their convictions, it is evident that they were 
 swayed by jealousy of the army, and the fear that the estab- 
 lishment of a Military Order would result in giving to Wash- 
 
THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 9 
 
 ington's officers the exclusive honour of securing our inde- 
 pendence. 
 
 The Governoi' of South Carolina in an address to the Legis- 
 lature in February, 1784, i)ointed out the dangers of such a 
 Society as the Cincinnati, rebuked its members as seeming to 
 have fought for mere distinction, and predicted that its success 
 meant ruin to the country. 
 
 John Jay declared that if the Society obtained a perma- 
 nent foothold in America, he would cease to "care whether the 
 Revolution had succeeded or not." 
 
 Samuel Adams wrote to Elbridge Gerry, April and 
 May, 1784:— 
 
 •'I confess I do not barely dislike the Order. With you 
 I think it dangerous, and look upon it with the eye of jealousy. 
 When the pride of family possesses the minds of men, it is 
 threatening the community in proportion to the good they have 
 done This is as rapid a stride towards an heredi- 
 tary military nobility as ever w^as made in so short a time." 
 
 Franklin wrote from France, 26th January, 1784 : — 
 
 •'I wonder that when the united wisdom of our nation had, 
 in the articles of confederation, manifested their dislike of 
 establishing ranks of nobility by authority either of the Congress 
 or of any particular State, a number of private persons should 
 think proper to distinguish themselves and their posterity 
 from their fellow citizens, and form an Order of hereditary 
 knigfds, in direct opposition to the solemnly declared sense of 
 their country!" 
 
 John Adams asserted that the formation of the Society was 
 "the first step taken to deface the beauty of our Temple of 
 Liberty,'' and he wrote to Elbridge Gerry, 25th of April, 1785 : — 
 
 "What is to be done with the Cincinnati? Is that order 
 of chivalrj-, that inroad upon our first principle, equality, to be 
 connived at ? It is the deepest piece of cunning yet attempted. 
 It is sowing the .seeds of all that European courts wish to grow 
 up among us, viz.: of vanity, ambition, corruption, discord and 
 sedition! . . . Such marks of reward should not be adopted 
 in any country where there is virtue, love of country, love of 
 labour. When virtue is lost, ambition succeeds. Then indeed 
 ribbons and garters become necessary, but never till then." 
 
10 THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 
 
 Jeflferson wrote lo Washington from Paris, 14th November, 
 1786 :— 
 
 "What has heretofore passed between ns on the institution 
 of the Cincinnati makes it my duty to mention to you that I 
 have never heard a jierson in Europe, learned or unlearned, 
 express his thoughts upon this institution, who did not consider 
 it as dishonourable and destructive to our governments ; and 
 that every writing which has come out since my arrival here, 
 in which it is mentioned, considers it, even as now reformed, 
 as the germ whose development is one day to destroy the fabric 
 
 we have reared Though the day may be at some 
 
 distance, beyond the reach of oiir lives, perhaps, yet it will 
 certainly come, when a single libre of this institution will pro- 
 duce an hereditary aristocracy, which will change the form of 
 our governments from the best to the worst in the world. 
 . . The branches of this institution cover all the States; the 
 Southern ones are at this time aristocratical in their disposition ; 
 and that that disposition should grow and extend itself is within 
 the natural order of things. I do not flatter myself with the 
 immortality of our governments ; but I shall think little also of 
 their longevity, unless this germ of destruction be taken out." 
 
 But the most formidable indictment of the Society of the 
 Cincinnati in its origin, aims and tendencies, is the virulent 
 pamphlet of iEdanus Burke, an eccentric Irishman who was a 
 Judge of the Supreme Court of South Carolina. Writing under 
 the pseudonym of Cassius, he opens his attack with the Bibli- 
 cal phrase "Blow ye the triimpet in Zion !" and inveighs against 
 the new Order, says Judge Marshall, "in that fervid and infec- 
 tious language which is the genuine offspring of passion." 
 
 These are some of his wild assertions, for arguments they 
 can hardly be called : — 
 
 "This establishment ere long must strip the posterity of 
 the middling and lower classes of every influence or authority, 
 and leave them nothing but insignificance and contempt. . . 
 
 "A hereditary peerage will be as firmly settled in each 
 potent family, and riveted in our government, as any order of 
 nobility is in the monarchies of Europe. This Order is planted 
 in a fiery, hot ambition, and thirst for power ; and its branches 
 will end in tyranny 
 
THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 11 
 
 "In less than a century it will occasion such an inequality 
 in the condition of our inhabitants, that the country will be 
 composed only of two ranks of men, the patricians or nobles, 
 and the rabble 
 
 "In a few generations hence the peers of Cincinnati may 
 consider themselves as deriving their lineage from Heaven. . . 
 
 "They will soon have and hold an exclusive right to 
 offices, honours and authorities, civil and military. And the 
 whole country, besides themselves, a mere mob of plebeians, 
 without weight or estimation 
 
 "Our government will be in a few years as fierce and op- 
 pressive an aristocracy as that of Poland or Venice, if the Order 
 of Cincinnati be sufl'ered to take root and spread in it. . . . 
 
 "It is a deep-laid contrivance to beget and perpetuate family 
 grandeur in an aristocratic nobility, to terminate at last in 
 monarchical tyranny." 
 
 Burke's tract, published in October, 1783, attracted very 
 general attention. Franklin brought it to the notice of Mira- 
 beau, the future French revolutionary leader, then in exile in 
 London, who printed in September, 1784, a carefully prepared 
 pamphlet, in which he echoed the trumpet-blast of Cassius and 
 predicted anew the dire calamities which the Cincinnati would 
 bring upon the young Republic. 
 
 "Americans,-' says he, "who exterminate the feeble rem- 
 nant of a party which has lost all importance, and drive the 
 Tories with fury from their coasts, suffer with the most supreme 
 inattention an institution to be introduced among them, which 
 must shortly undermine the public weal, their liberty and their 
 country ; strip the middle and lower ranks of life of all influ- 
 ence, and of all importance ; consign them to the most palpable 
 contempt, and reduce them to the completest nullity ; or at best 
 to the sad privilege of murmuring, when it will be too late to 
 remedy the evil 
 
 "The institution of the Order of Cincinnati is the creation 
 of an actual patriciate, and of a military nobility which will 
 ere long become a civil nobility, and an aristocracy the more dan- 
 gerous, because, being hereditary, it will perpetually increase 
 in the course of time, and will gather strength from the very 
 prejudices which it will engender ; because, originating neither

 in the Constitution nor the law, the law has provided no 
 means to control it, and it will immediately overbear the 
 Constitution of which it forms no part ; till the time shall 
 come when, by rejieated attempts, made sometimes clandes- 
 tinely and sometimes openly, it will at length have incorpo- 
 rated itself into the Constitution, or when, after having for a 
 long time sapped its foundations, it will in the end overturn 
 and utterly destroy it 
 
 "All outward marks of distinction are repugnant to the 
 spirit of a republic. Liberty has an elevated pride which all 
 distinctions offend. In her presence nothing must be emi- 
 nently conspicuous ; all must be confounded in one undistin- 
 guished mass. She cannot even behold these ornaments with- 
 out terror ; if they are worn by only one description of citizens, 
 her terror redoubles. But if the solitary body of men, who dare 
 thus to distinguish themselves from their fellow citizens, be a 
 body of soldiers, all is lost. Liberty will not linger long in 
 climates disgraced by such distinctions 
 
 "Every family will preserve the eagle of the Cincinnatus 
 their ancestor, and they will refuse to marry into families which 
 cannot boast a similar title of nobility. These kinds of ine- 
 quality obstruct the natural course of honourable love, and 
 keep asunder those whom Heaven seems to have formed for 
 each other 
 
 "In less than a century this institution, which draws a line 
 of separation between the descendants of the Cincinnati and 
 their fellow-citizens, will have caused so great an inequality, 
 that the country which now contains none but citizens perfectly 
 equal in the eye of the Constitution and of the law, will con- 
 sist altogether of two classes of men, patricans and plebe- 
 ians 
 
 "Let the Legislature blast this destructive institution of 
 an artificial, and (which is its masterpiece) a decorated nobility!" 
 
 The controversy was bitter and animated ; no one seems to 
 have seen the humourous side of it but Steuben, who, together 
 with Knox, was especially singled out by the pamjihleteers as 
 chiefly responsible for this attempt to inoculate the body politic 
 with the virus of feudalism. He wrote to Knox on 11th No- 
 vember, 1783: — 
 
THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 13 
 
 ''A 9a, Monsieur le Cincinnatus ! your pernicious designs 
 are then unveiled, — you wish to introduce dukes and peers into 
 our republic I No, my Lord, no, your Grace, that will not do : 
 there is a Cassius more far-sighted than this German baron, of 
 whom you have made a cat's-paw to draw the chestnuts out of 
 the fire. Cassius knows only a part of the secret. He makes 
 me author and grand-master, thus whipping you over my 
 shoulders. But listen I I will prove to Cassius that this dan- 
 gerous plan had its birth in tlie brain of two Yankees; /. e., 
 Knox and Huntington : therefore 
 
 ' Blow ye the Trumpet in Zion I " 
 
 " We know very well these Bostonians and the people of 
 the Holy Land, who beneath a Presbyterian and modest air 
 conceal the most ambitious designs. Cassius does not know 
 all the danger. When I shall tell him that the young Marquis, 
 Henry Knox, is already promised in marriage to a Princess of 
 Hyder Ali, and that the young Countess of Huntington is to 
 marry the hereditary Prince of Sweden, and that the King of 
 Spain wishes to accept the place of Treasurer of the Order, then 
 
 ' Blow ye the Trumpet in Zion ! * 
 
 "See the pamphlet of Cassius — read it — tremble. 
 
 " You have sent L' Enfant to France to procure some Gold 
 Eagles, but you have forgotten to give him some coppers for 
 his tavern expenses. Our reputation will be well established 
 in France 1 As for Germany, that will be my affair. I love 
 yon too well, you American dogs, to speak all the evil of you 
 that you merit. "" 
 
 Knox replied, in somewhat the same vein, to this letter 
 from Boston, on 21st February, 1784 : — 
 
 ' ' We had a meeting of the Society in this town on the 
 loth instant, and a committee was chosen to attend the meeting 
 in May next, at Philadelphia. Your Society, Mr. Baron, has 
 occasioned a great deal of jealousy among the good people of 
 New England, who say it is altogether an outlandish creation 
 formed by foreign influence. It is still heightened by a letter 
 from one of our ministers abroad, who intimates that it was 
 formed in Europe to overthrow our happy institutions. Burke's 
 pamphlet has also had its full operation. You. see how much 
 you have to answer for by the introduction of your European 
 
14 THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 
 
 institutions. I contend to the utmost of my power, that you 
 only had your share in the matter, and no more ; but it will 
 have no effect. Burke's allusion has fixed it, and you must 
 siipport the credit of having created a race of hereditary 
 
 nobility You must have observed, my dear friend, 
 
 how possible it is for the best intentions to be misconstrued 
 and misrepresented." 
 
 Moved by an opposition so violent and so wide-spread, 
 some prominent members withdi'ew from the Society, and others 
 laid aside the insignia. In France, however, the new Order 
 was received with enthusiasm, and admission to membership 
 was eagerly sought. 
 
 Baron von Steuben thus characterizes it, in an invitation to 
 the Chevalier de la Luzerne of 24th May, 1783 : — 
 
 "The design of this Institution, which is founded on the 
 principles of patriotism and gratitude, is to perpetuate the 
 memory of an epoch so glorious to America as the present, and 
 the effectual assistance this country has received from her gen- 
 erous ally. The American officers will consider themselves 
 honoured by being permitted to connect with their own the 
 names of those celebrated characters who have shown their 
 attachment to the rights of the human species in general, and 
 of the American in particular." 
 
 Washington wrote to Rochambeau on 29th October, 1783 : — 
 "The officers of the American army, in order to perpetuate 
 that mutual friendship which they contracted in the hour of 
 common danger and distress, and for other purposes which are 
 mentioned in the instrument of their association, have united 
 together in a Society of Friends under the name of Cincinnati ; 
 and, having honoured me with the office of President, it becomes 
 a very agreeable part of my duty to inform you that the Society 
 have done themselves the honour to consider you and the gen- 
 erals and officers of the army which you commanded in America 
 as members of the Society. 
 
 " Major L' Enfant, who will have the honour to deliver this 
 letter to you, will execute the Order of the Society in France, 
 amongst which he is directed to present you with one of the 
 first Orders that are made, and likewise with Orders for the 
 other gentlemen of your army, which I take the liberty to 
 
THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 16 
 
 request you will present to them in the name of the Society. 
 As soon as the diploma is made out, I will have the honour to 
 transmit it to you." 
 
 Lafayette wrote from Paris to Gen. Knox, 8th January, 
 1784 :— 
 
 " Our Association meets with great success. On Thursday 
 next a sufficient number of Eagles will be made to answer 
 immediate purposes. T intend inviting all the American officers 
 to my house, and to conduct them in a body, with our regi- 
 mentals, to the General of the French army, to whom we will 
 present the marks of the Association. You will receive many 
 applications relative to an addition to the brotherhood.'" 
 
 Major L" Enfant informed von Steuben of the result of his 
 mission in a letter of 25th December, 1783 : — 
 
 "It is with the greatest satisfaction that I acquaint you of 
 the success of the Cincinnati in France. The difficulties have 
 been removed which could have been opposed to the admission 
 of the Order into France, where they are accustomed to tolerate 
 no foreign Order. His Majesty, desirous of giving the Ameri- 
 cans a proof of the friendship which he wishes to maintain 
 with them, in his Council has permitted his officers to wear 
 
 this badge with the other Orders of his kingdom 
 
 Here in France they are more ambitious to obtain the Order of 
 the Cincinnati than to be decorated with the Cross of St. Louis." 
 
 He wrote to Washington on the same date : — 
 
 "I proceeded to Paris with all possible dispatch, and 
 handed at once your letters to Counts Rochambeau, d'Estaing, 
 
 de Grasse, and to the Marquis General de Lafayette 
 
 It is flattering to me to be able to inform your Excellency of 
 the success of my mission, and of the high appreciation which 
 the French nation entertain towards the American army for 
 thus honouring an illustrious part of their own army with such 
 flattering distinction. One single conversation with the French 
 officers would at once convince you how thoroughly they appre- 
 ciate, at the bottom of theii' hearts, those brotherly sentiments 
 which make them take so powerful an interest in the happiness 
 of America. This Institution, which they consider as a monu- 
 ment erected to republican virtues, as a fundamental basis of a 
 coi-dial union between the different States, as a new tie which 
 
16 THE SOCIETY OF THE CIISrCINNATI. 
 
 assures the duration of that reciprocal friendship which France 
 has devoted to America, cannot be looked upon in too advanta- 
 geous a light. 
 
 "The permission which this illustrious monarch, the most 
 Christian king, has already given to his siibjects to wear in his 
 dominions the Order of the Society of the Cincinnati, is not 
 only a strong mark of his deference, but also an unmistakable 
 proof of the sentiments of his majesty towards America." 
 
 The privilege accorded to the French Cincinnati of wear- 
 ing their insignia at the Coiirt was a very special one, for at 
 that time no foreign Order was allowed to be borne by a French 
 Officer except that of the Golden Fleece. In a letter to the 
 N. Y. Society, in 1786, Major L' Enfant again dwells upon: — 
 
 "La faveur que sa Majeste tres-Chretienue a bien voulu nous 
 accorder, en nous permettant de porter la marque de notre union 
 dans son royaume, ou nul autre ordre etranger est tolere. Nous 
 jouissons du credit aussi dans les autres cours d' Europe, oii 
 nombre de nos freres, qui y sont les premiers en rang et en 
 reputation, y font briller I'Aigie de Cincinnati.'' 
 
 The French members of the Society, about eighty in num- 
 ber, subscribed sixty thousand francs for the relief of their 
 brethren in America, but Washington, with characteristic deli- 
 cacy, declined the donation. Many efforts were made to extend 
 the privilege of membershij) in France, and as late as 24th 
 April, 1790, the Viconite de Noailles, who was then a Jacobin 
 member of the National Assembly, wrote to Washington : — 
 
 "The Cross of St. Louis, the sign of military service, is 
 going to be conferred thi'oughout all the ranks of the army. 
 Condescend to grant the same favour to all the officers who have 
 been under your orders, and who have contributed as we 
 to the salvation of the commonwealth. Condescend to obtain 
 for them the right of bearing the Order of Cincinnatus. In 
 the name of the small army you had some esteem for. 1 dare 
 petition the favour." 
 
 This interesting branch of the Society was torn away and 
 destroyed by the whirlwind of the revolution, and several of 
 its most illustrious members perished by the guillotine. There 
 came a time indeed when i)ossession of the coveted Eagle 
 became a great danger, and might consign its bearer to the

 scaflfold, or to a death of torture at the hands of the fierce rab- 
 ble. In one of the dark days of "The Terror" it appears con- 
 spicuous in a scene of savage and cowardly cruelty. In Septem- 
 ber, 1792, a number of political lu'isoners, including the venera- 
 ble Due de Brissac and other persons of distinction, were 
 ordered to be transported, under escort, from Orleans to Paris. 
 Seven wagons, each containing eight prisoners loaded with 
 chains, set out on the fatal journey, headed by Fourmier, a 
 renegade American. Arrived at the gates of Versailles, they 
 were attacked by a mob of assassins that lay in waiting, and 
 savagely butchered in cold blood. A few escaped in the con- 
 fusion, but forty-seven dead bodies, with the chains still hang- 
 ing to their hands and feet, were piled up in the street, and 
 even children cut pieces from the corpses and threw them to the 
 dogs. The heart of Brissac was torn out, and his hoary head 
 was i:ilanted on one of the palisades of the palace gates. "From 
 the neck of Fourmier's horse," says Lamartine, in his History 
 of the Girondins, "dangled a collar composed of Crosses of 
 St. Louis, Eagles of CincinnaUis, and other military decora- 
 tions snatched from the breasts of the victims." 
 
 Washington appointed tlie tirst general meeting of the 
 Cincinnati to be held in Philadelphia on 4th May, 1784, and 
 took great pains to secure a full attendance by sending urgent 
 letters to the Presidents of all the State Societies. From 
 many quarters came to him earnest protests against the Institu- 
 tion of the new Order, and Cassandra-like prophecies of the 
 evils it must entail on the country. America seemed to forget 
 the splendid services rendered by the Continental officers in her 
 hovir of sorest need, and that their sacrifices in her behalf in the 
 past were a guarantee for their unselfish patriotism in the days 
 to come. Washington could not forget this, and he was devoted 
 to his faithful followers ; but he was deeply moved by the dis- 
 satisfaction, distrust and genuine alarm aroused throughout the 
 country by the establishment of an hereditary military Order. 
 
 In deference to public sentiment he determined to recom- 
 mend radical changes in the Institution of the Society, though 
 many of his most trusty Lieutenants were opposed to any con- 
 cession to the popular outcry. Gfen. Nathanael Greene wrote to 
 him from Newport on April 22nd, 1784 : — 
 
18 THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 
 
 "The uproar that is raised against the Cincinnati makes 
 me more anxious to be at the meeting than I ever expected to 
 
 feel The subject is important, and it may be 
 
 equally dangerous to recede or push forward ; but I am decided 
 in my opinion not to abolish the Order from x>revailing clamours 
 
 against it It is in the temper of the people, not 
 
 in the matters complained of. I hope the meeting will not be 
 hasty in their determination, or in too great a hurry to sepa- 
 rate I am confident the tranquility of the public can 
 
 only be preserved by the continuance of the Order I 
 
 am for continuing the Institution without aiterati(m. To make 
 any alteration in the present hour will be premature, injure its 
 inriuence, and defeat all the good that may be expected from 
 the continuing it an object of public attention." 
 
 Finding it impossible to attend the meeting, Greene wrote 
 again on 6th May : — 
 
 "Many sensible people are anxious for the continuance of 
 the Order. Many more wish the hereditary part lopped ofl', 
 as the most exceptionable of the whole Institution. Others 
 again are oifended at the hereditary pai't on account of the 
 French officers. It is thought that it nmy lead to an improper 
 
 influence in our national affairs It is worthy of 
 
 some consideration to attempt giving reasonable satisfaction to 
 the apprehensions of the people ; but I am at a loss to deter- 
 mine what will effect it." 
 
 Washington, however, was convinced of the necessity of 
 immediate and essential alterations, and even intimated his 
 purpose of resigning from the Society unless they were adopted. 
 The following memorandum, in his own writing, which still 
 exists, shows the important changes which before the meeting- 
 was convened he had resolved to demand of his fellow-members: — 
 
 "Stiike out every word which has a j^olitical tendency. 
 
 "Discontinue the hereditary part in all its connections 
 absolutely. 
 
 "Admit no more honorary members into the Society. 
 
 " Reject subscriptions or donations from any person who is 
 not a citizen of the United States. 
 
 "Place the funds upon such a footing as to remove the 
 jealousies which are entertained on that score. 
 
THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 19 
 
 "Authorize the foreign officers to hold meetings in France, 
 and empower them to decide upon the pretensions of those of 
 their own body who claim the privilege of becoming members 
 of the Cincinnati. 
 
 "Abolish the general meetings as unnecessary. 
 
 " Upon these principles let the Institution be formed in as 
 clear, distinct and explicit terms as language can convey. Send 
 co])ies to the President of each State Society, and accompany 
 these with a well-composed letter expressive of the reasons 
 which induced us to alter the Constitution.'" 
 
 The delegates met on May 4th, at the City Tavern, on 
 Second Street, near Walnut, and remained in session for a 
 fortnight, all the States being represented except Rhode Island. 
 Opinions were divided as to any amendment of the Institution, 
 but in deference to the wishes of Washington a committee of 
 one from each State was appointed "to revise and alter the 
 general system of the Society of the Cincinnati, and to form a 
 correct institution or code of principles and obligations." After 
 several days of deliberation this committee of revision reported, 
 and a special consideration of certain paragraphs of this report 
 was referred to a committee of five, chosen by ballot — Gov. 
 Dickinson of Pennsylvania, Gen. O. H. Williams of Maryland, 
 Col. Henry Lee of Virginia, Col. W. S. Smith of New York, 
 and Gen. Henry Knox of Massachusetts. 
 
 Their recommendations were discussed and amended, and 
 iinally, by an affirmative vote of the delegates from all the States 
 (except Xew York), the Amended Institution of the Society of 
 the Cincinnati was adopted. 
 
 The following letter was drafted and ordered to be sent to 
 the French members of the Association : — 
 
 '■'•To the Senior Land, and Naval Officers and others^ 
 
 Members of the Society of the Cincinnati in France. 
 "Gentlemen : — We, the delegates of the Cincinnati, having 
 judged it expedient to make several material alterations and 
 amendments in our Institution, and having thought it our duty 
 to communicate the I'easons upon which we have acted, in a 
 Circular Address to the State Societies, do now transmit for 
 your information a transcript of that letter, together with a 
 copy of the Institution as revised and amended. 
 
20 THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 
 
 "Conscious of having done what prudence and love of coun- 
 try dictated, we are persuaded you will be satisfied with the 
 propriety of our conduct, when you are informed our decisions 
 were influenced by a conviction that some things contained in 
 our original system might eventually be productive of conse- 
 quences which we had not foreseen, as well as by the current of 
 sentiments which appeared to prevail among our fellow-citizens. 
 Under these circumstances, we viewed^it as no proof of^^mag- 
 nanimity to persist in anything which might possibly^ be 
 erroneous, or to counteract the opinion of the community, 
 however founded. 
 
 "Nor were we displeased to find the jealous eye of Patriotism 
 watching over those liberties which had been established by our 
 common exertions, especially as our countrymen appeared 
 fully disposed to do justice to our intentions, and to apprehend 
 no evils but such as might happen in process of time, after we, 
 in whom they placed so much confidence, should have quitted 
 the stage of human action ; and we flatter ourselves we felt not 
 less interested in guarding against disastrous contingencies, in 
 averting present or future political evils, than the most zealous 
 of our compatriots. 
 
 "For as then it is enoixgh that our benevolent purposes of 
 relieving the unfortunate should not be frustrated, that our 
 Friendships should be as immutable as they are sincere, and 
 that you have received the tokens of them with such tender 
 words of sensibility. For you, Gentlemen, let it be sufficient 
 that your merits and services are indelibly impressed upon the 
 hearts of a whole Nation, and that your names and actions can 
 never be lost in oblivion. 
 
 "Cherishing such sentiments, and reciprocating all your 
 affections, we pray you will have the goodness to believe, that 
 although nothing could have increased our friendship, yet by 
 your alacrity in associating with us you have taken the most 
 effectual measures for riveting more strongly those indissoluble 
 ties. 
 
 We have the honoiir to be, etc., etc." 
 
 The committee for preparing a form for the diploma 
 reported the following, which was adopted : — 
 
THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 21 
 
 Be IT Known, That A. B. is a member of the Society of 
 the Cincinnati, instituted by the officers of the American army 
 at the period of its dissolution, as well to commemorate the 
 great event which gave Independence to North America, as for 
 the laudable purpose of inculcating the duty of laying down 
 in peace arms assumed for public defence, and of uniting in 
 acts of brotherly affection, and bonds of perpetual friendship, 
 the members constituting the same. 
 
 In Testimony Whereof, I, the President of the said 
 
 Society, have hereunto set my hand, at , in the 
 
 State of , this day of , 
 
 in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and 
 
 , and in the year of the 
 
 Independence of the United States. 
 
 By order, 
 
 . , Secretary. 
 
 -, President. 
 
 Everything was done at the meeting that Washington 
 demanded, for it was considered absolutely essential that he 
 should continue at the head of the Society, and he remained its 
 President until his death. The timely concessions made to 
 popular prejudice stilled all clamour against the Cincinnati, 
 and the antagonism to it soon ceased. Yet no change in the 
 Institution was really made, for the delegates had no power to 
 bind their respective States ; and when the amendments were 
 reported to the local Societies, some took no deliuite action and 
 others refused to ratify tliem. Finally, as it became evident 
 that it was impossible to obtain general consent to the organic 
 changes which would mark so wide a departure from the origi- 
 nal principles of the Association, the General Society, at its 
 meeting in Philadelphia, on 7th May, 1800, declared by a 
 unanimous vote, "That the Institution of the Society of the 
 Cincinnati remains as it was originally proposed and adojited 
 by the officers of the American army, at their cantonments on 
 the banks of the Hudson River, in 1783." 
 
 Different usages now prevail in the various State Societies 
 as to the election of members and the claims to membership, 
 but no change has been made in the original constitution, 
 except what is known as The Rule of 1854. At the meeting of 
 
22 THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCIJJNATI. 
 
 the General Society, held that year in Baltimore, an ordinance 
 was unanimously adopted which makes eligible descendants of 
 any Revolutionary oflBcer who had a right to original member- 
 ship, though he failed to assert his claim to admission on the 
 formation of the Society. 
 
 The interest of the early meetings ch;sters around the 
 name of Washington, though official duties elsewhere prevented 
 his attending any meeting except the critical one of 1784. On 
 his election to the Presidency of the United States, the follow- 
 ing address and resolution were adopted by the Cincinnati, in 
 session in Philadelphia, in May, 1790 : — 
 
 " 8iR :— We, the delegates of the State Societies of the Cincinnati, assembled at our 
 triennial general meeting, congratulate you on being unanimously elected the head of 
 our rising republic. 
 
 "As a part of the community we felicitate our countrymen on this happy event, ami 
 we embrace the first opportunity of expressing our sentiments with no less zeal than 
 sincerity. 
 
 " When we say we love and revere you as a father, we not only speak the language of 
 our own hearts, but we speak the language of all who have fought, suffered and con- 
 quered under your command. Were poverty and consciousness of duty our only 
 recompense, still should we glory in the part we have acted ; for our motives, as they 
 regarded our country, will afford us satisfaction as well through the vicissitudes of life 
 as in the moment of dissolution. As members of our institution, on a former occasion, 
 we appealed to heaven and our own hearts for the purity of our intentions. Our fellow 
 citizens wiU witness that the conduct of the officers and soldiers of the late American 
 armies has not been less patriotic in peace than it was glorious in war. 
 
 "A good constitution was the object for which we risked our lives and experienced 
 unparalleled difficulties. We are happy in the conviction that oiu- views are answered 
 in the present government of the United States. While we applaud the wisdom of our 
 countrymen in placing you at the head ol it, we pledge ourselves to support its admin- 
 istration with the remnants of lives long since devoted to the public service. We need 
 not enumerate your titles to the gratitude of yom' countiy, or echo, in the suffrages 
 of our particular constituents, the public sentiment. But we may say we see, with 
 exultation, our countrymen beginning to reap the fruits of independence under the 
 auspices of the person who was more instrumental than any other in its establishment. 
 May you, as a reward for your services, enjoy length of days and every temporal blessing, 
 and may such blessings be a prelude to everlasting feUcity." 
 
 Resolwd, That the foregoing address be presented to the President of the United 
 States by a committee of nine members, to wit: — 
 
 General Knox, General Matthews, Colonel Gunn, 
 
 Colonel Hawkins, Captain Dayton, Colonel Smith, 
 
 General Clarkson, Colonel Wadsworth, Colonel Humphreys.

 Meeting : — 
 
 "Gentlemen : — Although it is e;i.sier for you to conceive than for me to explain the 
 pleasing sensations which have been exfited in my breast by your congratulations on 
 my appointment to the head of this rising republic, yet I must take the liberty to thank 
 you sincerely for the polite manner in which you felicitate our countrymen, and testify 
 your regard to me on this oci'asion. 
 
 "In addition to that rewar< 1 for your sufferings and services which arises fron\ the con - 
 sciousness of having done your duty, you have erected monuments more expressive of 
 your merits than even the univei'sal applause of your country in the establishment of its 
 independence and sovereignty; nor should any possible circumstances of poverty or 
 adversity compel you to give up that sweet satisfaction for the part you have acted, 
 which ought to attend you as well through the vicissitudes of life as in the moment of 
 dissolution. 
 
 "The candor of yoiu- fellow-citizens acknowledge the patriotism of your conduct in 
 peace, as their gratitude Ikuj declared their obligations for your fortitude and persever- 
 ance in war. X knowledge that they now do justice to the purity of your intentions 
 ought to be your highest consolation, as the fact is demonstrative of your greatest glory. 
 
 "The object for which your gallantry encountered every danger, and your virtue sus- 
 tained unparalleled difficulties, has happily been attained. A government, i)roniising 
 protection and prosperity to the people of the United States, is established, and its ope- 
 rations hitherto have been sucli as to justify the most sanguine expectations of further 
 success. It was naturally to be expected that live!! which had long since been devoted 
 on the altar of freedom could never be offered at the shrine of anarchy and despotism. 
 .\nd the otier which you make of the residue of those lives to support the administration 
 of this government is not less a proof of its excellence than an encouragement for those 
 concerned in its execution to use their best endeavors to make it a source of extensive 
 and permanent blessings to their country. 
 
 " Whatever titles my military services may have given me to tlie regard of my coun- 
 try, they are principally corroborated by the firm support of my brave and faithful as- 
 sociates in the field; and if any consideration Ls to be attributed to the successful exer- 
 cise of my civil duties, it proceeds, in a great measure, from the wisdom of the laws and 
 the facility which the disposition of my fellow-citizens has given to their administration. 
 
 " To the most affectionate wishes for your temporal happiness, I add a fervent prayer 
 for your eternal felicity, 
 
 " G. Washington." 
 
 The members of the Society of the Cincinnati gave a warm 
 support to their illustrious chief in his administration of the 
 government. Many of them held high office under him. 
 
 On May 7, 1800, at the fii'st meeting of the G-eneral Society 
 after the death of the President, Mr. Bingham, from the com- 
 mittee appointed for that purpose, reported the following testi- 
 monial of respect to the memory of General Washington, which 
 was twice read, unanimously agreed to and ordered to be en- 
 tered on the records of the Society as the first act of the present 
 general meeting after its organization : — 
 
24 THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 
 
 " Under the most profound impressiou of veneration and afiection, the Society of the 
 Cincinnati, at a general meeting, are called upon to express the mournful tribute of their 
 sorrow at that an"ful dispensation of Providence, which has recently removed from their 
 councils their much revered and lamented President-General. 
 
 "The arduous, though successful struggle which terminated in establishing the liber- 
 ties of our country, and in which they fought under his banners, and shared with him 
 the dangers and toils of the tieli.l, attached him to this Society by the ties of the most 
 intimate and endearing nature. His valor ami prudence seemed to control the events 
 of war, led the American armies to victory, and acliieved the independence of their 
 country. Whilst mingling their tears with those of theii- fellow-citizens, they are 
 naturally impelled to pour out the effusions of a deeper regret for the irreparable loss 
 which they have sustained. 
 
 " But it is not only in their relationship to this illustrious character, as soldiers, that 
 the Society of the Cincinnati have cause to deplore his loss. 
 
 "When the storm of war had ceased to rage, and the blessings of peace had been 
 restored, their country was suffering under the weakness of a confederation which 
 threatened the existence of that union which their joint efforts in arms had so essen- 
 tially contributed to establish. 
 
 " With his auspicious co-operation a Constitution was formed, calculated, by its 
 wisdom and energy, to redeem us ft'om that prostrate state to which we had been 
 reduced, and to restore that reputation which our country had lost fi-om the imbecility 
 of the old system. The administration of the government was committed to his care, 
 and his country will ever hold in grateful remembrance the inflexible virtue and forti- 
 tude with wliich he conducted its affairs, and saved it from the effects of domestic 
 faction and foreign intrigue. 
 
 "After a second retirement from the active scenes of public life, in which his merits 
 as a statesman rivaled his fame as a soldier, his country, at the approach of danger, 
 again required his services. The crisis was important, and the situation dehcate ; a 
 nation which had mingled its blood with ours in the defence of our liberties had now 
 assumed a hostile appearance; a war from this unexpected quarter thi'eatened the peace 
 of our country. 
 
 " Washington, who never hesitated when urged by a sense of duty, obeyed the call 
 of the government. He again abandoned his beloved retirement, hazarded a reputa- 
 tion consummate in every point of view, and assumed command of the armies. 
 
 "His military companions, who had frequently witnessed the magnanimity of his 
 conduct in seasons of adveraity as well as of triumph, felt the full force of theii' country's 
 appeal to arms whilst Washington was their leader. 
 
 " In this momentous crisis of our affairs, by the inscrutable decrees of heaven, he was 
 snatched from America and the world. 
 
 " Under this pressure of calamity, which more peculiarly operates upon the sensi- 
 bilities of this Society, their only consolation is derived fi-om the animating reflection 
 that although he is summoned to the enjoyment of the happy destinies of a future state, 
 the bright example of Ids virtues and talents will still sm-vive, and the inheritance of 
 his name prove a futm-e incentive to heroes and legislators, who will strive to emulate 
 his fame and merit the glory he has acquired." 
 
 The most interesting and important of all the meetings of 
 the General Society since those of the early days, was that one 
 held at Baltimore, in 1854. For the first time in the history of 
 the Association all the existing State Societies were represented, 
 
THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 25 
 
 many salutary measures were adopted, and with the accession 
 of Hon. Hamilton Fish to the Presidency the Society entered 
 upon a career of renewed life and activity. 
 
 After a resolution to hold a meeting in the following year 
 at Charleston, a motion to adjourn was made and carried in the 
 affirmative. 
 
 On announcing this result, the President-General made 
 some remarks on the condition and prospects of the Society, 
 which, at the unanimous request of members, were furnished 
 by the President to be placed on the minutes, and are as 
 follows : — 
 
 " Before announcing the result of the vote just taken, I ask permission to congratu- 
 late the Society upon the aui?i)iciou.« prospect which this meeting ha.-^ encouraged us to 
 contemplate. 
 
 " For the first time in the history of the Institution every State Society extant haa 
 been represented at a general meeting, and while giving utterance to my own most 
 cordial emotions, I feel and 1 know that it is but expressing the warm sentiment of all 
 the delegates from the other Societies to say that no incident could have added so much 
 to the interest of the meeting, or to the gratification or the encouragement which it has 
 inspired, as the presence of our friends, the representatives of our bretlu-en of Maryland 
 and of South Carolina. 
 
 " Never estranged, still for long years we have failed all to come together ; but the 
 friendships of our fothers, 'formed under the pressui-e of comnjon danger, and, in many 
 instances, cemented by their blood,' have desceniled to their sons, and, after a lapse of 
 seventy yeara ft-om the organization of the Society, have brought us here from the 
 remote points of the old thirteen States, representing all that is left of an Institution 
 which its founders hoped to be perpetual, but representing it, as they designed it, 
 ' One Society of Friends.' 
 
 " This reunion marks an epoch in our history. The destinies of the Society are now 
 in the hands of its hereditary members. The founders of the Institution, with one 
 exception, have passed away; one original member alone is known to survive; and he, 
 far advanced in the vale of years, with an intellect still vigorous, and a patriotism as 
 ardent as that of his youth, is still spared, closing a w^ell-spent life, at his home near 
 the 'Cantonment of the .\merican army on Hudson's River,' like a fond parent while 
 waiting his summons, watching over the birtliplace of a beloved ciiild. 
 
 "The interest in the Society which the presence of the heroes who formed it gave to 
 its meetings has gone — their virtues, their memories, their h-iendships, the principles 
 which they a.sserted, remain to constitute it.s interest. These are now in our keeping ; 
 and our Institution is henceforth to be maintained by the enmlation of their virtues, 
 the reverence of their memories, the ado|)tion of their friendsliips, and the advocacy of 
 their principles. It is for us to show that the work which they did was not in vain; the 
 past is theirs, and haa been well done — the present is ours, fuU of hope and promise; 
 and when the present comes, as it soon will, to be the past, may our sons say that it, too, 
 has been well done. 
 
 " Standing between two generations, we owe a duty to both. The wreath upon our 
 Society's badge is inscribed, 'Virtulis pricinium.' As we received it, so may we part 
 with it. A device in that badge represents two 'hands joined,' but those hands are 
 
26 TH« SOCIKTY OF THE CINCINNATI. 
 
 joined 'supporting a heart.' The motto of our Society is our Father's prayer in its 
 liehall', '&/(j /<(r//rf»a. ■ This inscription, this device, and this motto, are suggestive of 
 our double duty. Wliat we liave i-eceiveii h'om wortliy sires, let us transmit unimpaired 
 to sons whom we sliall train to emulate their virtues and their patriotism. 
 
 "Gentlemen, you have voted that this meeting stand adjourned. We met, many 
 personally unknown to others; we part friends, I trust, for life. Accept my thanks for 
 your kindness and support in the duties of the ottice in which your favour has placed 
 me, and my best wishes for your safe return to families and to home." 
 
 For various reasons the State Societies of Georgia, North 
 Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island and 
 New Haniiishire, after only a few years of life, ceased to hold 
 meetings, so that the original members died out without elect- 
 ing any successors. The Society of Rhode Island was revived 
 in 1881, and that of Connecticut in 1893, while the Societies of 
 South Cai-olina, Maryland. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New 
 York and Massachusetts liave had an unbroken existence from 
 the beginning until now. For nearly a century the triennial 
 sessions of the Genera] Society were very sparsely attended, 
 and often not a quorum could be gathered together. But with 
 the present facility of communication, and the great revival of 
 interest in the Cincinnati, all of the eight Societies are now 
 represented by full delegations at each recurring General Meet- 
 ing. The Association is full of life and activity, but it is greatly 
 reduced in numbers by the dying out of some Revolutionary 
 families, and the apathy of others in claiming their hereditary 
 rights to membership. The whole number of the Cincinnati is 
 now less than five hundred, of which Maryland has thirty-seven; 
 while at the founding of the Order Massachusetts alone had 
 three hundred and forty-three members, and Maryland one hun- 
 dred and forty-eight. The last survivor of the original mem- 
 bers. Major Robert Burnett, died in 1854. 
 
 The early meetings of the Cincinnati were conducted with 
 much dignity and ceremony, the members assembling in full 
 uniform or court dress, and after the transaction of business, 
 marching in stately procession to some churcli or public hall to 
 listen to an elaborate address. The annual reunion, moreover, 
 was often marked by a round of festivities lasting through an 
 entire day, as at the meeting of the North Carolina Cincinnati 
 at Halifax, on 4th July, 1786, which was opened in the middle 
 of the morning by a salute of artillery. At an early hour a 
 sumptuous dinner was served, at which thirteen formal toasts 
 
THE SOCIETY Op" THE {;INCINNATI. 27 
 
 were drunk, "iK-companied by sepai-ate discharges of cannon, 
 and animated by the most rational mirth and patriotic enthusi- 
 asm. Tlie afternoon was spent in the utmost conviviality, en- 
 livened with a number of gay and political songs and toasts. 
 In the evening the Society gave a ball, which was honored with 
 a numerous attendance of ladies." 
 
 An account has been preserved of a very elaboi'ate ceremo- 
 nial of investiture at the City Tavern in New York, at which 
 Baron von Steuben presided and Alexander Hamilton was the 
 orator. The building was decorated witli laurel wreaths; drums 
 and trumpets filled the air with martial music ; the members 
 were in full Continental uniform ; two satin cushions held the 
 eagles and diplomas of the novitiates, and a standard was dis- 
 played with the Cincinnati eagle on thirteen stripes of white 
 and blue. The President, on entering, was saluted by dipping 
 the flag, by a roll of drums and flourish of trumpets. After the 
 inaugural address by Col. Hamilton, the new members signed 
 the Institution, and were then marshaled with ceremony before 
 the chair of state of the President, who handed each an eagle, 
 saying: "Receive this mark as a recompense for your merit, 
 and in remembrance of our glorious independence;" and a 
 diploma, with the words : "This will show your title as a mem- 
 ber of our Society. Imitate the illustrious hero, Lucius Quin- 
 tus Cincinnatus, whom we have chosen for our patron ; like 
 him be the defender of your country and a good citizen." Then 
 all the old members arose to salute the new brethren, and the 
 ceremonies of the day ended with a brilliant festival. 
 
 When Lafayette visited America, in 1824, the State Socie- 
 ties of the Cincinnati vied with each other in doing him honour. 
 In Baltimore he was received in the tent used by Washington 
 during the war, which was lent by Gen. Washington Park Cus- 
 tis for the occasion. In New York the entertainment was on 
 Lafayette's birthday, and we are told that "as he took his seat 
 beneath a canopy of oak and laurel, a triumphant wreath fell 
 from the beak of an eagle suspeuded above his chair.""

 In consequence of a public request of the Honorable

 line to meet in this City the 20th instant to take into consid- 
 eration several matters very interesting to the line, a consid-

 the absence of Gen'l Smallwood and Gen'l Gist, two senior 
 officers, they postponed the consideration of the several sub-

 The incouvenieiice and expense of further attendance at 
 this time, or of meeting- again soon, and an earnest desire the 
 officers liave of becoming members of that Honorable Society, 
 induce tliem now to testify their heart}' and entire approbation 
 of the principles thei-eof, by most cheerfully concurring in the 
 establishment of the said Order, and by subscribing their 
 names ; each officer previously pi'oducing sufficient vouchers 
 of his being fully qualified and entitled thereto ; and for the 
 more effectual execution and fulfilment of the same, the subscri- 
 bers formed themselves into a Committee of the Whote, to 
 ajipoint by election, the officers and representatives of their 
 State Society , of which committee (xen'l Williams was appointed 
 President, Lietxt.-Col. Eccleston, Secretary. 
 
 It was thereupon moved and debated whether the election 
 should be by ballot or otherwise ; and 
 
 Resolved, that all elections in this Society shall be by 
 ballot. And the committee adjourned until to-morrow at nine 
 o'clock. 
 
 November 22, 1783. 
 
 The committee met according to adjournment and i^roceeded 
 to the election of officers for the State Society. Whereupon 
 Major-Gen'l Smallwood was apiiointed President, Brig.-Gen'l 
 Uist was appointed Vice-President, Brig. -Gen' 1 Williams was 
 ai)i)ointed Secretary, Col. Ramsay was appointed Treasurer, 
 Lieut. -Col. Eccleston was appointed Assistant-Treasurer. 
 
 On motion of Col. Ramsay : 
 
 Resolred, unanimously, that the Secretary write to the 
 President and Vice-President, and inform them of their respec- 
 tive ai)iK)intments ; and 
 
 Besolced, unanimously, that Gen'l Williams be invested 
 with all the powers of President, until one or both of the honor- 
 able gentlemen elected as President and Vice-President become 
 subscribing members of this Society, and take upon them the 
 exercise of their respective offices. 
 
 Tlie committee thereupon considering themselves virtually 
 and actually constituted and instituted a State Society of the 
 Order of the Cincinnati, consider it their indisj)ensable duty to 
 offei' to Almighty God their most grateful thanks for His 
 gracious dispensation in the order of human events, whereby 
 
32 ANNALS OF THE 
 
 they are permitted to felicitate each other on the fortunate 
 and glorious conclusion of an uneqiial, precarious and 
 bloody war, and to return with joy to their country and 
 possess the invaluable rights of citizens, in peace and national 
 independence. 
 
 As a testimony of the satisfaction which we feel in the 
 opportunity we enjoy of returning to our respective stations in 
 the general class of the community, and of recommencing our 
 civil occupations under a government which we have aided to 
 establish and which we all approve and will endeavor to maintain; 
 and in consideration of the abilities, merit and patriotism of 
 His Excellency, Governor Paca, this Society direct that the 
 Secretary, General Williams, wait on His Excellency and inform 
 him that this Society do themselves the honor to consider him 
 as an honorary member of their body. 
 
 The Society then proceeded to the election of Delegates 
 to represent them in the General Society ; whereupon the bal- 
 lots being taken. General Williams, Governor Paca, General 
 Smallwood and Colonel Ramsay were dnlj elected. 
 
 Jiesohed, that Annapolis be the place of the Annual 
 State Meeting. 
 
 Hesohied, that in future no honorary member can be appoin- 
 ted unless the person applying signify his wish to the Secretary, 
 in writing, at least three months before the Annual State Meet- 
 ing. A regular list of such applicants shall, on the first day of 
 the meeting, be produced to the Society and lie on the table 
 for the inspection of the members. Any person thus qualified 
 may then be put in nomination by any member ; and if seconded 
 shall be ballotted for, provided, that at least one-third of the 
 members and one-half of the ofiicers be present. 
 
 Besolved, that the system of the Order of the Cincinnati, 
 together with the proceedings of this Committee, be published 
 for the information of absent friends, and that the Secretary 
 draw upon the Treasurer for the expenses. 
 
 And the Society adjourned without day.

34 ANNALS OF THE 
 
 Order being called, it was proposed by the President to 
 appoint a Secretary (pro tem.), General Williams being absent, 
 and Capt. Kilty being nominated by Col. Ramsay, was 
 appointed. 
 
 The circular letter addressed to the State Societies by the 
 General Meeting, and the Institution of the Society as altered 
 and amended at the said General Meeting were read by the 
 Secretary : — 
 
 {CIMCULAR.) 
 
 From the Society, at their first general meeting, dated 
 Philadelphia, May 15th, 1784, and enclosing "the Institution 
 of the Society, as altered and amended" at the said meeting. 
 
 [signed] 
 
 George Washington, President. 
 
 Gentlemen : — We, the delegates of the Cincinnati, after the most mature and 
 deliberate discussion of the principles and objects of our Society, have thought proper 
 to recommend that the enclosed " Institution of the Society of the Cincinnati, as altered 
 and amended at their first meeting," should be adopted by yom- State Society. 
 
 In order that our conduct on this occasion may stand approved in the eyes of the 
 world, that we may not incur the imputations of obstinacy on the one hand, or levity 
 on the other, and that you may be induced more cheerfully to couiply with our recom- 
 mendation, we beg leave to communicate the reasons on which we have acted. 
 
 Previous to our laying them before you, we hold it a duty to ourselves and to our 
 fellow-citizens, to declare, and we call Heaven to witness the veracity of our declaration, 
 that, in our whole agency on this subject, we have been actuated by the purest prin- 
 ciples. Not\nthstanding we are thus conscious for ourselves of the rectitude of our 
 intentions, in instituting or becoming members of this Fraternity ; and notwithstanding 
 we are confident the liighest evidence can be produced from your past, and \nll be given 
 by your future behaviour, that you could not have been influenced bj' any other motives 
 than those of friendship, patriotism and benevolence, yet, as our designs, in some 
 respects, have been misapprehended ; as the instrument of our Association was of neces- 
 sity drawn up in a hasty manner, at an epoch as extraordinary as it will be memorable 
 in the annals of mankind, — when the mind, agitated by a variety of emotions, was not 
 at liberty to attend minutely to every circumstance which respected om' social connec- 
 tion, or to digest our ideas into so correct a form as could have been wished ; as the 
 original Institution appeared, in the opinion of many respectable characters, to have 
 comprehended objects which are deemed incompatible nith the genius and spirit of the 
 confederation ; and as, in this case, it would eventually frustrate our purposes, and be 
 productive of consequences which we had not foreseen — therefore, to remove every 
 cause of inquietude, to annihilate every source of jealousy, to designate explicitly the 
 ground on which we wish to stand, and to give one more proof that the late Otficera of 
 the American Army have a claim to be reckoned among the most faithful citizens ; we 
 have agreed that the following material alterations and amendments shall take place : 
 
 That the hereditary succession should be abolished ; that all interference with 
 political subjects should be done away ; and that the funds should be placed under the 
 
CINCINNATI OF MARYLAND. 35 
 
 immediate cognizance of the several lef;islatin-es, who should also be requested to grant 
 Charters for more eflectiially carrying our humane designs into execution. 
 
 In giving our reasons for the alteration in the first article, we must ask your indul- 
 gence, while we call your attention to the original occasion which induced us to form 
 ourselves into a Society of Friends. 
 
 Having lived in the strictest habits of amity through the various stages of a 
 war unparalleled in many of its circumstances ; having seen the olijects for whicli we 
 contended happily attained ; in the moment of triumi)h and separation, when we were 
 about to act the last pleasing, melancholy scene in our military drama — iileasing, be- 
 ca.u!-e we were to leave our country possessed of independence an<l peace ; melancholy, 
 because we were to part, perhaps never to meet again — while every heart was pene- 
 trated with feelings which can be more easily conceived than described ; while every 
 little act of tenderness recurred fresh to the recollection, it was impossible not to 
 nnsh our friendships should be C(intinue<l ; it was extremely natural to desire they might 
 be perpetuated by our Posterity to the remotest ages. With these imiiressions and with 
 such sentiments we candidly confess we signed the Institution. We know oui' motives 
 were irreproachable ; but finding it aiiprehended by many of our countrymen, that 
 this would be drawing an unjustitiable line of cUscrimination between our descendants 
 and the rest of the community, and avei-se to the creation of unnecessary and un- 
 pleasing distinctions, we could not hesitate to relinquish everything but our jjereonal 
 friendships, of which we cannot be divested ; and those acts of beneficence, which it is 
 our intention should flow from them. 
 
 With views equally i-uire and disinterested, we jiropose to use our collective infiuence 
 in support of that government, and confirmation of that union, the establishment of 
 which has engaged so consiileraljle a part of our lives ; but learning from a variety of 
 information, that this is ileemed an officious and improper interference, and that if we 
 are not charged with having sinister designs, yet we are accused of arrogating too much, 
 and assuming the guardianshi|) of the liberties of our Country. Thus circumstanced, 
 we could not think of opposing ourselves to the concurring opinions of our fellow- 
 citizens, however founded, or of giving anxiety to those whose happiness it is our duty 
 and interest to promote. 
 
 We come next to speak of the charitable part of our Institution, which we esteem 
 the basis of it. By placing your fund in the hands of the Legislature of your State, and 
 letting them see the application of it is to the best of purposes, you will demonstrate 
 the integrity of your actions, as well as the rectitude of your principles ; and having con- 
 vinced them your intentions are only of a friendly and benevolent nature, we are 
 induced to believe they n-ill iiatronize a design which they cannot but approve; that 
 they will foster the good dispositions and encourage the beneficent acts of those who 
 are disposed to make use of the most effectual and most unexceptionable mode of 
 relieving the distressed. For this purpose it is to be hoped that Charters may be 
 obtained in consequence of the applications which are directed to be made. 
 
 It is also judged most proper that the admission of members should be submitted 
 to the regulation of such Charters; because by thus acting in conformity to the senti- 
 ments of government, we not only give another instance of our reliance upon it, but of 
 our disposition to remove every source of uneasiness respecting om- Society. 
 
 We trust it has not escaped youi- attention, gentlemen, that the only objects of 
 which we are desirious to preserve the remembrance, are of such a nature as cannot be 
 displeasing to our countrymen or unprofitable to posterity. We have retained accord- 
 ingly those devices which recognize the manner of returning to our citizenship ; not ae 
 ostentatious marks of discrimination, but as pledges of our friendship, and emblems, 
 whose appearance will never permit us to deviate from the paths of virtue. .-Vnd we 
 
36 ANNALS OF THE 
 
 presume, in this place, it may not lie inexpedient to inform you, that these are con- 
 sidered as the most endearintr tokens of friendship, and held in the highest estimation, 
 by such of our allies as have become entitled to them, by havinu- contributed their per- 
 sonal services to the estabUshment of our inde))endence — that these gentlemen, who are 
 among the fii-st in rank and reputation, have been permitted by their Sovereign to hold 
 this grateful memorial of our reciprocal affections — and that this fraternal intercourse 
 is viewed by that illustrious Monarch and other distinguished characters, as no small 
 additional cement to that harmony and recijirocation of good offices which so happily 
 prevail between the two nations. 
 
 Having now relinquished whatever has been found objectionable in our original 
 Institution ; having by the deference thus paid to the prevailing sentiments of the com- 
 munity, neither, as we conceive, lessened the dignity, nor diminished the consistency of 
 character, which it is our ambition to support in the eyes of the present as well as of 
 future generations ; having thus removed every possible objection to our remaining 
 connected as a Societv, and cherishing our mutual friendships to the close of life ; and 
 ha\'ing, as we flatter om'selves, retained in its utmost latitude, and placed upon a more 
 certain and permanent foundation, that jirimary article of our Association which respects 
 the unfortunate— on these two great original pillars. Friendship and Charity, we rest 
 our Institution, and we appeal to your lil)erality, patriotism and magnanimity, to your 
 conduct on every other occasion, as well as to the purity of your intentions on the pre- 
 sent, for the ralificcUion of our proceedings. At the same time we are happy in express- 
 ing a full confidence in the candour, justice and integrity of the public, that the 
 Institution as now altered and amended will be perfectly satisfactory, and that acts 
 of legislative authority will soon be passed to give efficacy to your benevolence. 
 
 Before we conclude this address, permit us to add, that the cultivation of that 
 amity we profess, and the extension of this charity, we flatter ourselves, will be objects 
 of sufficient importance to prevent a relaxation in the prosecution of them — to diffiise 
 comfort and support to any of our unfortunate companions, who have seen better days, 
 and merited a milder fate ; to wipe the tear from the eye of the widow, who must have 
 been consigned, with her helpless infants, to indigence and wretchedness, but for this 
 charitable institution; to succour the fatherless; to rescue the female orphan from 
 destruction; to enable the son to emulate the virtues of his father — will be no unpleasing 
 'ask. It will communicate happiness to othei's, while it increases our own ; it will 
 cheer our solitary reflections, and soothe our latest moments. I^t us, then, prosecute 
 with ardour what we have instituted with sincerity ; let Heaven and our own con- 
 sciences approve our conduct ; let our actions be the best comment on our words; and 
 let us leave a lesson to posterity that the glory of soldiers cannot be completed without 
 acting well the pai't of citizens.

 It being too apparent that the warm s^jirit of friendship, 
 with which the Officers of the late Maryland Line were actuated 
 in the infancy of this Institution, is suffering a rapid declen- 
 sion; and it appearing to the Members present in this Meeting 
 that, besides the grent fraternal motive which prompts them 
 to lament the indifference seemingly shown to a league of friend- 
 ship, embraced at first with such ardour, many matters of the 
 greatest importance want discussion, which ought not to be de- 
 cided on but in a full meeting.

 [CIRCULAR.} 
 
 Sir;— I take this early opportunity, in my character of President of tlie Cincinnati, 
 of announcing to you, thut the triennial General Meeting of the Society is to be con- 
 vened at the city of Philailelphia on the first Monday of May, in the year 1787. 
 
 .\s it will not be in my power (for reat-ons which I shall have the honor of immedi- 
 ately communicating) to attend the next General Meeting; and as it may become more 
 
42 ANNALS OF THE 
 
 and more inconvenient for me to be absent from my farms, or to receive appointments 
 which shall divert me from my private affairs; I think it proper also to acquaint you, for 
 the information of your Delegates to the General Meeting, that it is my desire not to be 
 re-elected to the Presidency, since I should find myself under the necessity of declining 
 the acceptance of it. 
 
 The numerous applications for information, advice, or assistance wliich are made to 
 me in consequence of my military command ; the multiplicity of my correspondencies in 
 this Country, as well as in many parts of Europe; the variety and perplexity of my own 
 private concerns, which having been much deranged by my absence through the war, 
 demand my entire and unremitting attention; the arduousness of the task, in which I 
 have been as it were, unavoidaljly engaged, of superintending the opening the naviga- 
 tion of the great Rivers in this State; the natural ilesire of tranquility and relaxation from 
 business, which almost everyone experiences at my time of life, particularly after having 
 acted (during a considerable period) as no idle spectator in uncommonly busy and im- 
 portant scenes; and the present imbecility of my health, occasioned by a violent attack 
 of the fever and ague, succeeded by rheumatick pains (to which until of late I have been 
 an entire stranger); will, I doubt not, be consiilered as reasons of sufficient validity to 
 justify my conduct in the present instance. 
 
 Although the whole of these reasons could not have before operated; yet, in con- 
 formity to my determination of passing the remainder of my days in a state of retire- 
 ment, I should certainh' have refused to accept the ofhce of President with which I was 
 honored in 1784, but from an apprehension that my refusal, at that time, might have 
 been misrepresented as a kind of dereliction of the Society on my pai't; or imputed to a 
 disapprobation of the principles on wliich it was then estal)lished. 
 
 To convince the opposers of the Institution, should any such remain, that this was 
 not the fact; and to give no colourable pretext for unreasonable attacks; I prevailed 
 upon myself to accept the appointment with a view of holding it only until the next 
 election; before which time 1 expected the jealousy that had been excited, would sub- 
 side — and this, I am happy to be informed, has universally taken place. 
 
 Highly approving as I do, the principles on which the Society is now constituted; 
 and pleased to find, so far as I liave been able to learn from reiterated enquiries, that it 
 is acceptable to the good people of the United States in general; it only remains for me 
 to express the sense I entertain of the lionor conferred by the last General Meeting in 
 electing me their President, and to implore in future the benediction of Heaven on the 
 virtuous associates in this illustrious Institution. 
 
 During the residue of my continuance in office, I shall be constantly ready to sign 
 such Diplomas as may be requisite for the Members of your State Society, being sincerely 
 desh'ous of giving every possible proof of attachment, esteem, and of affection for them; 
 as well as of demonstrating the sentiments of perfect consideration and respect with 
 which 
 
 I have the honor to be. Sir, 
 
 Y'r most Obed't and most H'ble Serv't, 
 
 George W.^shington. 
 
 P. S. — I have thought it expedient to forward a transcript of this circular addressed 
 to Maj. -General Gates, Vice-President of the Society, in order that the General Meet- 
 ing may suffer no embarrassment for want of an official character to preside at the 
 opening of it.

 ment of his friendship and the recollection of his eminent

 RKI'OKT. 
 
 The Committee appointed at tlie meeting of February 23rd, 
 1874, to examine the rules of this and the sister State Societies 
 governing the admission of members, with a view to the modi- 
 fication of the rules of this Society, having carefully performed 
 the duty assigned it, find tliat each State Society has, to some 
 extent, modified the original rules for the admission of mem- 
 bers, except that of Pennsylvania. 
 
 In 1851 the General Society passed an ordinance, the object 
 of which was to promote uniformity in the admission of mem- 
 bers, but this having been rejected by some of the State 
 Societies, the General Society in 18.'54 referred the question to 
 a Committee, comjiosed of the Presidents of the State Societies, 
 all of them being present, and Gen'l John Spear Smith, as 
 Chairman, re|3orted the rule known as the Rule o/'18.'54. 
 
 It passed without a dissenting voice, and was accepted, it 
 is believed, by the State Societies in general, the Society of 
 Massachusetts adopting it by a unanimous vote, but the Mary- 
 land Society rejected it. 
 
 It was not until 1866, that the Maryland Society. im])elled 
 by the necessity of providing in some way for the preservation 
 of the Society, made its first amendment to the constitution, by 
 authorizing the creation of life members. This was regarded as 
 only a temporary' expedient, but it has served its purpose, and 
 as taken in connection witli the Resolution of February 22d, 
 1869, making full members of the life members, it widens the 
 door of admission to an extent not designed by the amendment. 
 
 The Committee recommend that this Rule of 1866, together 
 with its amendment adopted February 22d, 1878, giving to 
 each member the riglit to nominate two candidates of the blood 
 of an original member, be now repealed. The Committee 
 further lecommend that the Rule of 1854, a cojjy of which is 
 hereto annexed, be adopted, provided, that any one elected as 
 the rejiresentative of an Officer of the Army or Navy who may 
 have been entitled to admission as an original membei-, but 
 failed to avail himself of the right, shall pay an admission fee 
 of One Hundred Dollars; and jjrovided further, that upon the 
 
CINCINNATI OF MARYLAND. 65 
 
 election of any one deriving his claim to membership from a 
 member of a dissolved Society, he shall i)ay the customary fee 
 of Thirty Dollars. 
 
 Un.E OF 1854. 
 
 Hi'ioh-fl , that eaoli i^tate Society sluill have the full right and power to regulate the 
 aiiiuission of uiembere, both as to cjualiKcations of the ineiubere and the terms of admis- 
 sion ; provided, that admission be confined to the male descendants of original membere, 
 or of those who are now members (including collateral branches, as contemplated by the 
 original Constitution); or to the male de.scendants of such Officers of the Army or Navy 
 as may have been entitled to a<lmission, but who failed to avail themselves thereof 
 within the time limited by the Constitution ; or to the male de.scendants of such Officers 
 of the Army or Navy of the Revolution as may have resigned with honor, or left the 
 service with reputation ; or to the male collateral relatives of any Officer who died in 
 service without having issue. 
 
 Resolved, that the male desceudanti? of those who were membere of State Societies 
 which have been dissolved, may be admitted into existing Societies, upon such terms as 
 those Societies think proper to prescribe. 
 
 Rctii/i-ed, that the foregoing Resolutions be projiosed to the several State Societies, 
 and their assent be requested thereto ; and upon such a.'^sent being given by each of the 
 remaining Societies, the Secretary -General shall issue notice thereof to each Society, 
 and thereupon the said Resolutions shall become operative, and each State Society shall 
 be at lilierty to act upon the power given thereby. 
 
 The Committee further recommend, that in the admission 
 of members, the nearest male repi'esentative of an original 
 member shall have preference ; but if he fail to present his 
 claim for admission within n reasonable time, or be found 
 unworthy, or for any cause be rejected by the Society, the 
 right of succession may be transferred to the next nearest 
 representative, and so on until an election be effected. 
 
 Besolved, that so much of the report as recommends the 
 adoption of the Resolution submitted by the General Society in 
 18o4, be adopted: and tliat the Committee be continued, with 
 instructions to submit, at the next meeting of the Society, rules 
 for admission of new members to this Society, and that the 
 Rule of 1866, with its amendment of Feb'y 22d, 1873, be 
 repealed.

 FEBRUARY 22, 1893. 
 
 The Committee appointed to take action with reference to 
 the death of Allan McLane. submitted the following report : — 
 
 Allan McLane died at bis residence in Washington, after a 
 brief illness, on December Kith, 1891. Grandson of Colonel 
 Allan McLane, the brave soldier of the Revolution, and the 
 friend of General Washington ; and son of Louis McLane, 
 Secretary of the Treasury under President Jackson, and Minis- 
 ter to England during Jackson and Polk's administrations; he 
 was in every way worthy of his ancestry. 
 
 For a while a student at Princeton, he abandoned an aca- 
 demic career in 1842, to accept a commission as Midshipman in 
 the U. S. Navy. Three of his brothers were also in the military 
 service of the Government, and one of them was killed in liattle 
 with the Indians. 
 
 When war broke out with Mexico, Allan McLane was first 
 ordered to the Rio Grande, and afterwards took part in the 
 landing of our army at Vera Cruz. Of this period of his life a 
 friend writes that ''Midshipman McLane commanded the re- 
 spect and confidence of his superior officers, and the love and 
 
74 ANNALS OF THF. 
 
 friendslii]! of his messmates : \\ iiilp no officer was more liked 
 aud trusted by the saih)rs." 
 
 During tlie siege of Vera Cruz a masked battery of heavy 
 guns, within 700 yards of tlie enemy's lines, was manned by 
 seamen. When it was unmasked, tlie officer in command com- 
 plained that the obstructions were not sufficiently removed. 
 McLane sprang through the embrasure, and with the aid of two 
 sailors cleared away the brushwood under a storm of shot and 
 shell. For this gallant act he was specially mentioned in the 
 official despatches. 
 
 After the war he comi>leted his studies at Annapolis, and 
 served for a while on the Coast Survey, resigned his commis- 
 sion in 1849, to enter the service of the Pacific Mail Steamship 
 Company. In his connection with this comjiany of more than 
 twenty years, first as commander of the steamers, then as Pres- 
 ident, he showed conspicuous administrative ability, and won 
 the admiration and affection of all who served under him. In 
 1871 he resigned his jiost. and passed the remaining years of 
 his life at Washington in well-earned and honourable repose. 
 
 A gallant sailor, a polished gentleman, an upright citizen, 
 faithful in all the relations of life, Allan McLane was of the 
 stuff of which heroes are made, and we are proud to number 
 him among the worthy sons of the Cincinnati. Manly, loyal, 
 courteous, he was of the type which we all admire, and which 
 our Society aspires to perpetuate.

 Luzerne in Switzerland, on the 18th September, 1892, the Soci-

 most valued and earnest supporters and members, who in his 
 life displayed the same valor and patriotism which dis- 
 tinguished his grandfather and propositus in the Society, Rich- 
 ard Clough Anderson, Lt.-Col. in the Virginia Line and Aide- 
 de-Camp of General Lafayette.

 subsequent!}' pursued his studies at Heidelberg. He returned 
 to Cincinnati in 18(i(i and began the study of law. 
 
 Upon the breaking out of the civil war he went to the front 
 as Adjutant of the Sixth Ohio Volunteers, of which regiment he 
 soon became Colonel. The regiment saw niucli liard service, and 
 Col. Anderson was three times wounded, at Pittsburg Landing, 
 Murfreesboro and Chicamauga. displaying tlmmgh all his 
 campaigns conspicuous personal bravery and military aldlity. 
 At the close of the war he received the brevet of Brigadier- 
 General for gallant conduct at Stone River, and that of Major- 
 General for distinguished gallantry at Chicamauga. 
 
 He was never again in the public service, spending the 
 remainder of his life in Cincinnati, Washington, or in foreign 
 travel. 
 
 He was frank, generous and brave, a good father of a 
 family, a good citizen and a devoted adherent of this Society, 
 every member of which will deplore the absence from our 
 reunions of the friendly countenance and fraternal greeting of 
 this charming companion and gallant gentleman. 
 
 Resolved, that the Secretary be instructed to spread these 
 Resolutions on the Minutes of this Meeting, and to forward a 
 copy of the same, with expressions of the deep sympathy of the 
 Society, to the familj' of our deceased member and friend. 
 
 On motion of Prof. Edward Graham Daves it was ordered 
 that the following minute be entered on the Records, and that a 
 copy be transmitted to the family of the late Hamilton Fish : — 
 
 At this tirst meeting of the Society of the Cincinnati of 
 Maryland held since the lamented death of Hon. Hamilton Fish, 
 we desire to express our deep sense of the great loss which 
 has befallen us. 
 
 Though long hindered by the infirmities of age from attend- 
 ing the general meetings and taking an active part in our pro- 
 ceedings, he was ever ready to give sage advice and counsel, 
 and always showed the keenest interest in the discussion of 
 every question vital to the integrity and xirosperity of our 
 beloved Association. 
 
 As a wise statesman, a devoted patriot and an enlightened 
 citizen, his name is written in the history of the country; but 
 
76 ANNALS OF THE 
 
 by US he is sjiHcially remembered as the courteous and accom- 
 plished gentleman, wlu) for near half a century most worthily 
 tilled the position once held by Washington, that of Presideut- 
 General of the Society of tlie Cincinnati. 
 
 We enter upon our Records this expression of our sorrow, 
 and we tender to his family our respectful sympathy in a 
 bereavement which talces from them a beloved father, and from 
 us an honoured leader. 
 
 FEBRUARY 22, 1895. 
 
 Whereas, the Society of the Cincinnati of Maryland has 
 been informed that, since its last meeting, Edward Graham 
 Daves, one of its members, departed this life on the 1st day 
 of August, 1894, in Boston, Mass.; it is hereby 
 
 Resolved, that this Society by the death of Professor Daves 
 has sustained the loss of one of its most active and intelligent 
 members, who at all times evinced the greatest zeal and interest 
 in its history and welfare ; and in his social intercourse with 
 his fellow-members displayed those attractive traits which 
 characterize the cultured and accomplished gentleman. 
 
 Professor Daves was ])oru in New Bern, North Carolina, on 
 the 31st March, 1833, and was the second son of John Pugh 
 Daves and his wife, Elizabeth Batchelor Graham, and was the 
 grandson of Captain John Daves, of the North Carolina Conti- 
 nental Infantry. He was educated at New Bern and subse- 
 quently at Harvard, where he took the degrees of A. B. and 
 A. M.; and LL. B. at the Haivard Law School in 1856. After 
 practicing law a short time in Baltimore, he went abroad and 
 lived in Europe until 1871, when he returned to Baltimore, and 
 there remained until his death, engaged in literary pursuits 
 and as Professor of English literature ; and be it further 
 
 Resolcecl, that tlie Secretary be insti'iicted to spread these 
 Resolutions on the Minutes of this Meeting, and to forward a 
 copy of the same, with the expression of the deep sympathy 
 of the Society, to the family of our deceased member. 
 
 Resolved, that the Society of the Cincinnati of Maryland 
 desires to express to the Society of the Sons of the American 
 Revolution of Maryland its warm appreciation of the courtesy 
 extended to it, through its Delegates, Messrs. DeCourcy, Webb,

 McSherry and Gittings, at the unveiling of the statue to the 
 Maryland Heroes who fell at the battle of Long Island. That 
 this Society fully values the great and untiring energy of those 
 who caused the beautiful testimonial to be erected, which so 
 nobly and eloquently coninienu)rates the sacrifices made by the 
 officers and soldiers of the heroic Maiyland Line. 
 
 FEBRUARY 22, 1896. 
 
 The Committee appointed to draft Resolutions on the death 
 of Gen. Crittenden, reported as follows : — 
 
 Brevet Brigadier-General Thomas Leonidas Crittenden, of 
 the United States Army, died at his residence on Staten Island. 
 in the State of New York, on the 23d of October, 1893. 
 
 At the time of his death he was a member of the Society of 
 the Cincinnati of Marylaml, having been elected a member in 
 1883. 
 
 General Crittenden was the grandson of Captain-Lieutenant 
 John Crittenden, who seived with the Virginia troops in the 
 War of th? Revolution, and was an original member of the Soci- 
 ety of the Cincinnati of that State. 
 
 General Crittenden was a brave and distinguished officer in 
 the military service of his country, both as a volunteer and reg- 
 ular officer. In the Mexican War he commanded a regiment of 
 Kentucky Cavalry and was present at the battle of Buena Vista. 
 At the close of the Mexican War he was appointed consul to 
 Liverpool, in whicli position he rendered most satisfactory 
 service, remaining in that office until 18.')3, when he retired to 
 private life. He again entered the military service of his coun- 
 try at the breaking out of the war between the States ; was in 
 several of the famous battles of that war, serving with such 
 eminent distinction that he was prcmioted to the position of 
 Major-General for gallantry on the field. In 1864 he resigned 
 his ])Osition in the volunteer army, and in 186(; was apjtointed a 
 Colonel in the regular army of the United States, with the bre- 
 vet rank of Brigadier-General. He became the Colonel of the 
 Seventeenth Regiment f)f Infantry in the Army of the United 
 States, and continued in that position until his retirement in 
 1881. 
 
78 ANNALS OF THE 
 
 In every position of life rxeneral Crittenden did his whole 
 duty ns :r man. He was a gallant soldier, a wise, prudent ofR- 
 pial, and he will be remembered in days to come as one of the 
 most distingiiished of those great men in our countiy who have 
 borne his honored name. 
 
 It is to be regretted that this Society saw so little of him 
 He came to our meetings very rarely, but when he did come he 
 brought with him a nature so kindly and genial tluit he will be 
 remembered with feelings of the sincerest friendship and esteem 
 by all who came in contact with him. 
 
 The Committee appointed to take action with reference to 
 the death of Doctor Lansdale, submited the following report : — 
 
 Dr. Philip Lansdale, who died at Greenwicli, Connecticut, 
 August 21, 1894, was the grandson of Major Thomas Lancaster 
 Lansdale, an original member of the Maryland State Society of 
 the Cincinnati, and the son of William Moylan Lansdale, a cit- 
 izen of Baltimore. His mother was a daughter of General 
 Stephen Moylan, who in tlie year 1800. was Vice-President of 
 the Pennsylvania State Society of the Cincinnati. 
 
 Dr. Lansdale' s father, William Moylan Lansdale, in the 
 year 1819 retired to an estate called "Bloomsbury," near Havre 
 de Grace, in Harford County, where he died in 1831 ; having 
 succeeded his father, who was an original member of the Mary- 
 land State Society of the Cincinnati, and at the time of his 
 death, a resident of Anne Arundel County. 
 
 The ribbon of the insignia of Major Thonuis Lansdale has 
 an interesting value, it being half of General Lafayette's ribbon, 
 who made his own do service for two by dividing with Major 
 Lansdale. 
 
 Dr. Lansdale was born in Baltimore, April HOth, 1817, and 
 received his education at St. John's College, Annapolis. Mary- 
 land, and at the University of Pennsylvania. Until 1847 he 
 resided upon his estate " Bloomsbury," in Harford County, 
 when he w^as appointed an Assistant Surgeon in the Navy of the 
 United States. 
 
 He was commissioned a Surgeon in 1861. was promoted to 
 ^[edical lns})ector in 1870, to Medical Director in 1873, and re- 
 tired in 1879. He was elected a member of the Society of the 
 Cincinnati of Maryland in 1890. 
 
CINCINXATI OF MARYLAND. 79 
 
 The high position held by him in the service of his country, 
 the appreciation of his services as manifested by his regular and 
 rapid proniotion in the corps of which he was a member, his dis- 
 tinguished Revolutionary ancestry, liis fairli fulness to dutj', the 
 purity of his life, and the high tone and character of his bear- 
 ing among his fellow-men. entitled Dr. Lansdale to the lirst 
 position among tlie members of our Society. As such j^onr 
 Committee recognize him, and as sucli ask that this tribute to 
 his memory may be spread upon the Minutes of the Society. 
 
 FEBRUARY 22, 1897. 
 
 The Committee appointed to take suitable action on the 
 deaths of members of the Society, submitted the following 
 report, which was ordered to be spread on the Minutes of the 
 Society : — 
 
 Capt. Charles Manigault Morris, was born in Charleston, 
 S. C, May 7th, 1820, and died in Baltimore, Md., March 22d, 
 1895. 
 
 He was the grandson of Major and Brevet Lt.-Col. Lewis 
 Morris, Aide-de-Cami). Continental Army, an original mendier 
 of the South Carolina Cincinnati ; and the son of Lewis Morris, 
 elected a member of the South Carolina Society in 1807 ; he 
 himself succeeded his father in 1880, and became a member of 
 the Maryland Cincinnati by transfer in 1885. 
 
 In 1837 Captain Morris entered the United States Navy as 
 Midshipman ; successively he was jiromoted to be Passed-Mid- 
 shipman. June 29th, 1843: Master, March 26th, 1851; and 
 Lieutenant, October, 1851. He served with honor through the 
 Mexican War, and was a member of the Perry Japan expedi- 
 tion. He was First Lieutenant of the United States Ship 
 Marion on the coast of Africa in 1860. 
 
 While holding the rank of Lieutenant, he resigned from 
 tlie United States Navy. January 29th, 1861, and Joined the 
 Confederate Navy, being put in command of the Huntress. 
 After doing ordnance duty and being in charge of the Savannah 
 rendezvous, he was ordered to Europe for duty on the Birken- 
 lit^ad rams. .\ i that linn' I lie ii>iumander of the Florida was 
 taken ill, and early in January. 1864, Captain M(uris was 
 ordered to the command of that cruiser. As her commander, 
 
80 ANNALS OF THE 
 
 he raptured a number of prizes alone tlie coast of the Vnited 
 States, including the vessels Electric Spark, Harriet Stevens, 
 Golconda, Margaret Y. Davis and Mondamin. 
 
 Captain Morris then crossed the ocean to Teneriffe and 
 cruised back toward Brazil. On this trip he captured the B. X. 
 Hoxie, Cairaissanne, David Lapsley, Estelle, George Latimer, 
 Southern Rights, Greenland, Windward, William C. Clark and 
 Zelinda. 
 
 The Florida anchored at Bahia, Brazil. October 4th. Rely- 
 ing implicitly upon the protection of a neutral power. Captain 
 Morris drew the loads from his guns and gave his crew shore 
 liberties. The United States steam corvette Wachusett was 
 then in port. 
 
 On the night of October 6th, Captain Morris was on shore, 
 with nearly half of the ship's company, leaving the Florida in 
 command of Lieut. Tliomas K. Porter, with about eighty men. 
 Early in the morning of October 7th, the Florida was rammed 
 and captured by the Wachusett, and was afterward sunk at 
 her moorings, above Newport News, to which place she was 
 towed. 
 
 The Florida was the tirst of the Confederate steam ci'uisers 
 built in England. Her dock-yard name was the Oreto, but was 
 changed to the Florida when the vessel was put into commission 
 as a warship. The vessel carried two seven-inch and four six- 
 inch Blakely rifled guns. 
 
 After the capture of the Florida Captain Morris went 
 abroad, where he remained for iifteen years. Since that time 
 he lived in Baltimore. 
 
 With a brave and gallant character he combined a gentle and 
 modest disposition, and by his bright, courteous and genial 
 manner he greatly endeared himself to his fellow-members of 
 the Cincinnati. 
 
 William White Ramsay, was born in Cecil County, Md., 
 April 13th, 1827, and died in Baltimore, Md., June 2d, 189,'i. 
 
 He was the grandson of Lt.-Col. Nathaniel Ramsay, Third 
 Regiment, INIaryland Continental Infantry, an orignal member 
 of the Maryland Cincinnati ; and the son of William White 
 Ramsay, elected a member of the Society in 1812 ; he himself 
 succeeded his father in 1851. 
 
CINCINJ^ATI OF MARYLAND. 81 
 
 William White Ramsay began his edvication at a school in 
 Wilmington, Del., and completed it at the Nottingham Academy, 
 Cecil County, Md. He then engaged in different mercantile 
 pursuits at Wrightsville, Pa., Baltimore, Paducah, Ky., and 
 Havre de Grace, Md. In 1862 he bought a farm on Thomas 
 Run, in Harford County, where he lived for twenty-five years, 
 then he sold his farm and spent the remainder of his days 
 at Mt. Pleasant, near Havre de Grace. 
 
 Honest in every impulse, a gentleman by birth and home 
 tiaining. in physical stature and in the kindly elements of his 
 cluiracter resembling his gallant grandsire, no one in any com- 
 munity where he ever lived was more respected for his personal 
 qualities than the last male member of the Maryland family 
 bearing the name of Ramsay. 
 
 Osceola Constantine Green, was born at "Rosedale" in 
 Washington, D. C, March 11th, 1837, and died in Washington, 
 D. C, June 17th, 1895. 
 
 He was the grandson of Lt.-Col. Uriah Forrest, Seventh 
 Regiment, Maryland Continental Infantry, an original member 
 of the Maryland Cincinnati, and was elected a member of the 
 Society in 1889. 
 
 Osceola C. Green always resided in the District, and 
 early in life he became identified with the business interests of 
 Washington, and at the time of his death was Vice-President 
 of the Franklin Insurance Company, Director in the Bank of 
 the Republic, the Traders' Bank, the Washington Safe Deposit 
 Company, the Metropolitan Railroad, and other local business 
 oi'ganizations. He was also actively identified in the real estate 
 business, which he entered upon more than a quarter of a cen- 
 tury ago. 
 
 A man of unquestioned probity of character, of high 
 instinct, and of intense loyalty to his friends, he had gained 
 for himself an enviable name. 
 
 In all the numerous positions of trust to which he was 
 called he was faithful, and in the minor details of daily life he 
 was considerate, thoughtful, and full of regard for his fellow- 
 men. In the termination of his career, his fellow-members of 
 the Maryland Cincinnati will universally testify to his worth 
 and to the loss occasioned by his death.
