Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constitution, Act of Incorporation, and by-Laws of the Boston Episcopal Charitable Society More than ten years having elapsed since the last Manual of the Society was published, the trustees have come to the conclusion that another, with the addi tions since to our numbers, would be acceptable to their associates. N 0 rule has been adopted for their appear ance at stated intervals. But inasmuch as it has been the practice of later years to issue them at decennial periods, this is suggested as a convenient rule for the future government of the Society. The earliest known publications of the By-laws is in small quarto, and though bearing no date, seems to have been issued soon after the act of incorporation in 17 84. At the head of its first page is a blank certificate of membership, with a space left for the corporate seal. This, filled up with the name of the member, and with the seal of the Society attached, was presented to him on his election. It contained eleven by-laws; and a copy belonging to the Secretary, the certificate of his grandfather, Mr. George Burroughs, dated 1793.
