Excerpt from Proceedings on the Occasion of Laying the Corner-Stone of the New Hall of the Massachusetts Horticulutral Society, August 18, 1864, Vol. 1This is the second time that you have, in the course of your organization, erected a building for the Society. It will be just twenty years, on the 14th of September next, since the corner-stone of Horticultural Hall in School Street, erected on the site of the old Latin school-house, was laid by your late President, the Hon. Marshall P.Wilder, now prevented from uniting in these ceremonies by long continued illness. It was the only important act Of the Society since its foundation in which I have not Been present or taken a part, but absence abroad prevent ed me from witnessing the services on that interesting occasion, and I esteem it a source of the highest gratifi cation that, through your continued kindness and great confidence, I have now the honor not only to be present with you, but to take so prominent a part in laying the corner-stone of another and more magnificent structure, which will undoubtedly be the home Of the Society long after we and many succeeding generations have passed away.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
