Stone, second, an account of the pro cession IN honor OF the adoption OF the federal constitution in 1788, and washington's reception and inauguration ball, in 1789, by the same author, and, third, reminiscences OF new york city, by the late Gulian C. Verplanck, first given under the nom de plume of Francis Herbert, in the Talisman for 1829 - 30. These narratives, alone, should make this.
