Description:Excerpt from Officers of the South Carolina Historical Society, 1857 8 The South Carolina Historical Society originated in an accidental meeting of several gentlemen, at one of those old homesteads, in the vicinity of Charleston, the name of whose former owner has been long connected with our history. The associations inspired by the occasion, suggested the formation of the present society. Accordingly, at a meeting, held at the Medical College, in 1855, Dr. James Moultrie, Professors W. J. Rivers and F. A. Porcher were appointed to draft the plan of a constitution, and on the 2d of June, the Society was organized, by the adoption of the constitution as reported, and an election of officers. Professor Porcher was requested to deliver an address on the 28th of June, explanatory of the objects of the Society; which being ordered for publication, has been selected as a fit introduction to the present volume. With an accession of members, the Society soon received numerous testimonials of popular interest, and has since become the repository of many valuable papers relating to our national, as well as state history. Foremost among these are the manuscripts, pamphlets and miscellanies presented by the Laurens family. Besides the Tower Narrative and accompanying documents, published in this volume, the collection embraces a complete set of the Letter Books of the distinguished patriot Henry Laurens, affording, among many original letters, several from Washington, Adams, Franklin, Lafayette, De Estaing and Burke, together with a large private correspondence, all illustrative of the history of the times.
