Excerpt from Memoir of the Hon. Nathan Appleton, LL. D: Prepared Agreeably to a Resolution of the Massachusetts Historical Society

AT the stated monthly meeting of this Society, held at their rooms on Thursday, 8th August, 1861, the Presi dent (hon. Robert C. Winthrop) announced the death of the Hon: nathan appleton, a Resident Member of the Society, as follows: We. Have been called on so often of late, gentlemen, to notice the departure of those whose names have adorned our Honorary or our Resident rolls, that the language of eulogy may seem to have been almost ex hansted. Yet I am sure you would not excuse me, nor could I excuse myself, were I to fail to make some brief allusion this morning to a valued and venerable associ ate, who died only a day or two after our last monthly meeting.
