OF THE SONS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE: WITH THE SPEECHES OF MESSRS. WEBSTER, WOODBURY, WILDER, BIGELOW, PARKER, DEARBORN, HUBBARD, Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1849, BY JAMES FRENCH, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts. OLD DICKINSON OFFICE, C. C. P. MOODY, PRINTER, NO. 52 WASHINGTON STREET, BOSTON. INTRODUCTION. THE following pages contain as exact an account of the proceedings of the SONS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, at their FESTIVAL, on the seventh of November, with the Speeches, Sentiments, and Songs of those present, and the Letters of those invited Guests unable to attend, as it has been possible to obtain. It has been thought that those Children of New Hampshire who remain at home, would be gratified to see, in a more permanent and substantial form than newspaper reports, a statement of the doings of their brethren abroad, and of the Names of those who have become residents of Boston and vicinity, and were present on the occasion. It is hoped the book may not be an unacceptable memorial to any, and that it will serve to show how strong, in the breasts of all her Sons, is the veneration and love of New Hampshire, and how warmly their hearts glow with remembrances of home.
