Excerpt from Discourse Delivered Before the New-England Historic-Genealogical Society, Boston, April 2, 1868: On the Life and Character of the Hon. John Albion Andrew, LL. D., Late President of the Society, With Proceedings and Appendix Resolved, That in the loss of our honored and be loved President, the Hon. John albion andrew, our Society has been deprived of one whose labors for us, as well as for so many associations. - literary, benevolent, and patriotic, - have shed an enduring lustre on his memory. Resolved, That death has stilled a heart which ever beat warmly for the best interests of his fellow man; has hushed an eloquence which stirred the depths of his admiring auditors, and which was ever ready to sustain the cause of justice, patriotism, and truth. Resolved, That this city, this Commonwealth, these United States, have been called to part from one whose excellences and great characteristics had rendered him eminently conspicuous to all, and which would have elevated him to the still more exalted stations of public life.
