Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reflections on the Changes Which May Seem Necessary in the Present Constitution of the State of New York Dear Sir: I have the honor to advise you that the Club, at its monthly meeting on May 9th, after a deliberate discussion, unanimously adopted the following preamble and resolution: "In view of the early meeting of the Convention for the formation of a new Constitution of the State, it is deemed advisable to obtain all the light which study and experience afford upon this important subject; and believing that the distinguished ability of Dr. Francis Lieber, and his erudition in all matters connected with public law, qualify him especially to speak on the subject: Therefore, be it Resolved, That Dr. Francis Lieber be requested to write his views on the subject as to the principal points to be looked to in the formation of the new Constitution, and that the Publication Committee of the Club be instructed to print the same and send a copy to each member of the Convention, the governor and judges of the State, and the members of the Legislature; also, to circulate it generally." An extract from the minutes. In communicating this action of the Club, embodying so high a tribute to your eminence as a publicist, and which, I trust, will secure to the approaching Convention the benefit of your valuable 11 suggestions, I beg to add that the Publication Committee will be requested immediately to advise with you upon the subject with which they are charged by the resolution.
