Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Thomson was the Secretary of the Continental Congress from its founding until the elections following the passage of the US Constitution. Thomson was the second person to sign the Declaration of Independence, attesting to John Hancock's signature. He was also one of the brightest patriots, deeply interested in science and religion. A member of the American Philosophical Society, he was friends with Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, David Rittenhouse, and others. Thomson was the person who traveled to Mount Vernon to inform George Washington he had been elected the first President of the United States. Thomson kept both public and private journals regarding the proceedings of Congress. John Jay and others encouraged him to write his memoir following the American Revolution. Thomson began the process, compiling nearly 1000 pages. He then had a sudden change of course and decided it would be best the world not know the intimate details he had recorded. Instead of publishing his observations of the founding generation in action, he burned everything. He said he desired to avoid "contradicting all the histories of the great events of the Revolution. Let the world admire the supposed wisdom and valor of our great men. Perhaps they may adopt the qualities that have been ascribed to them, and thus good may be done. I shall not undeceive future generations." This newly edited Second Edition includes numerous period illustrations and an index, and a foreword by Lawrence Knorr.

Interest 1n Sc1ence.--Relat1ons W1th H1s "anc1ent Fr1end," Jefferson.--Observat1ons On The Notes On The State Of V1rg1n1a. THROUGHOUT his life, Thomson had an absorbing interest in science. He was elected to membership in the American Philosophical Society on September 22, 1758; was Secretary of the society from 1769 to 1770, and served as one of its councillors from 1781 to 1783. He was active in the deliberations of that body and was frequently appointed on some of its most important committees. On May 20, 1769, he was selected, with Messrs. Ewing and Williamson, to wait on Miss Norris, and request the use of the telescope in her possession, on the occasion of the transit of Venus, June 3d, of that year. The society erected an observatory in the State House yard for the purpose of viewing the transit, and Thomson was deeply interested in this event, as is shown by the following account in the "Pennsylvania Gazette," June 8, 1769: "We hear that the Committee appointed by the American Philosophical Society for the Promotion of Useful Knowledge, to observe the transit of Venus, which happened on Saturday last, having distributed themselves into three classes, Rev. Mr. John Ewing, Joseph Shippen, Esq., Dr. Hugh Williamson, Messrs. Thomas Prior, Charles Thomson, and James Pearson, observed at the public observatory in the State House Square; the Rev. Doctor William Smith, John Lukens, Esq., Messrs. David Rittenhouse and John Sellers, at Mr. Rittenhouse's observatory, at Norriton; and Mr. Owen Biddle, at the Light House near the Capes of Delaware.
