Excerpt from The Examination of Joseph Galloway, Esq.: By a Committee of the House of Commons The Council of the Seventy-six Society thought it advisable to present this reprint of this well-known though almost inac cessible pamphlet. The character and talents of Mr. Galloway, the opportunities which he possessed of obtaining information, the facts stated by him and the weight attached to them by writers in his own and later days, have made this examination a document of some historical importance. A few notes, de signated by brackets, have been added by me. I had intended to append others, but I refrained when I reflected that many if not all of the members of the Society were quite as well or better acquainted than myself with this period of our history. Those which are given are chiefly on ms. Authority; and I here return my thanks to those gentlemen, who have favored me by access to their papers, particularly Mr. Thompson West cott.
