have taken place in the interval. It -is true that two 

 of the six, viz., Isaac Bartram and James Pearson 

 had been elected before, namely on the 9th of Feb. 

 1759 ; but, as they were never introduced and as their 

 names do not appear either as present or absent in 

 the minutes of any meeting up to Oct. 22, 1762, it is 

 probable that this election was not recognized. 



At the meeting of May 23rd, 1766, Owen Biddle and 

 Isaac Paschall, previously appointed for the purpose 

 but not since the 25th of Apr. 1766, the date of the 

 resumption of the minutes, submitted a revised 

 draught of the laws which, at the next meeting 

 (May 30), was adopted with a blank left for the 

 name, and ordered to be copied in the Book. The 

 copy of these laws is to be found just preceding the 

 minutes of April 25, 1766. They are signed first by 

 Charles Thomson, Isaac Paschall, and Edmund Phy- 

 sick, the other three members, William Hopkins, 

 Joshua Howell, and George Eoberts, who had signed 

 the previous copy of the Laws being dropped. After 

 these three names follow the six signatures of the 

 members, mentioned above as introduced between 

 Oct. 1762 and Apr. 1766. Subsequently to this period, 

 the minutes indicate who were elected and introduced ; 

 and the book shows that twenty-one additional mem- 

 bers signed the laws, in all thirty names. These 

 twenty-one members were Nicholas Wain, Benjamin 

 Davis, William Bettle, Clement Biddle, Samuel Eld- 

 ridge, John Lukens, John Morgan, Cadwalader
