Excerpt from Supplement to the Acts and Resolves of Massachusetts, Which Were Published for the Commonwealth Under Authority of Chapter 104, Resolves of 1889, Vol. 1: Containing Such Legislative Proceedings Recorded in the Public Archives as Are Omitted in the Authorized Edition, Together With Addresses, Messages, Letters, and Proclamations; 1780-1784
N o attempt has been made to revise the legislative lists for the reason that it is understood that Mr. Tillinghast, the State Librarian, whose thoroughness and accuracy are well known, has for several years been engaged in perfecting all the lists from the first Assembly under the Constitution down to the present time. These will probably be sepa rately printed. But the elections of councillors who were chosen by the joint ballot of the two branches are included with the elections of officers civil and military, secretary of the Commonwealth, treasurer, commis sary general, attorney-general, naval officers, collectors of excise, notaries public, and major-generals of the militia, chosen in like manner. Dele gates to the Continental Congress, who were also elected by the Legisla ture, are given under the appropriate years.
