Also on this day 250 years ago

the honorable delegates, now met in General Congress, were elegantly entertained by the gentlemen of this city. Having met at the City Tavern about 3 o’clock, they were conducted from thence to the State House by the managers of the entertainment, where they were received by a very large company composed of the clergy, such genteel strangers as happened to be in town, and a number of respectable citizens, making in the whole near 500. After dinner the following toasts were drank, accompanied by music and a discharge of cannon.

. . .

5. Perpetual union to the colonies.

6. May the colonies faithfully execute what the Congress shall wisely resolve.

7. The much injured town of Boston, and province of Massachusetts Bay.

8. May Great Britain be just, and America free.

. . .

12. May every American hand down to posterity pure and untainted liberty he has derived from his ancestors.

13. May no man enjoy freedom, who has not spirit to defend it.

14. May the persecuted genius of liberty find a lasting asylum in America.

. . .

18. The liberty of the press.
