Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Society of the Cincinnati in the State of New York: Its History, Aims and Requirements for Membership To perpetuate therefore, as well the remembrance of this vast event, as the mutual friendships which have been formed under the pressure of common danger, and in many instances cemented by the blood of the parties, the officers of the American Army do, in the most solemn manner, associate, constitute and combine themselves into one society OF friends, to endure as long as they shall endure, or any of their eldest male posterity, and in failure thereof, the collateral branches, who may be judged worthy of becoming its supporters and members. The officers of the American Army having been generally taken from the citizens of America, possess high veneration for the character of that illustrious Roman, Lucius Quintius Cincinnatus, and being resolved to follow his example, by returning to their citizenship, they think they may, with propriety. Denominate themselves the Society of the Cincinnati. The following principles shall be immutable, and form the basis of the Society of the Cincinnati: An incessant attention to preserve inviolate those exalted rights of. Human nature, for which they have fought and bled, and without which the high rank of a rational being, is a curse instead of a blessing.
