Excerpt from Ceremonials at the Unveiling of the Statue of Gov, John An, Andrew: At the State House, Tuesday, February 14th, 1871 Sir, - On behalf of the committee "appointed to procure and present to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts a statue of John A. Andrew, in marble, " upon whose application the Resolve of 1868, chapter 37, was-passed, I have the honor to inform you that the barque Frank Marion, with the statue on board, arrived this morning from Italy. The consignees state that it will probably be ten days before the statue can be taken from the barque, after which it will be placed in the State House, under the direction of Mr. Hammett Billings, acting for the sculptor, Mr. Thomas Ball. After the statue shall have been placed in its position, the committee will be happy to unite with the Government of the State in such ceremonies as may be fit for the occasion. In accordance with suggestions of the Governor, the following Joint Committee was appointed. On the part of the Senate, President Horace H. Coolidge, Messrs. Bird of Norfolk, and Fox of Suffolk, and on the part of the House, Speaker Harvey Jewell of Boston, Messrs. Cogswell of Salem, Beard of Brookline, Adams of Quincy, Pratt of Braintree, and Paine of Blackstone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
