Excerpt from Daring Deeds of the Old Heroes of the Revolution IN explanation of the plan of this work, it may be stated that such an occasion 'as that upon which the veterans met was especially adapted to awaken recol lections of the struggle for Independence. A Fourth dof-july festival in the old rendezvous of the Boston tea-party-is surely well'calculated to excite patriotic feeling; and when to those who participated in the festival are added a number of the veterans of the War of Independence, filled with glorious recollections, the effect is to turn the mind to the admiration and venera tion of 'the men and deeds of the trying time.
