Excerpt from Proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society, 1845 1846, Vol. 1 For many years the formation of a New Jersey Historical Society had been urged in the public prints in various parts of the State, and at different periods had engaged the attention of gentlemen feeling a warm interest in the subject. No definite measures, however, were taken to combine and carry into action these views of individuals until January, 1845, when it was suggested by gentlemen of Monmouth County that advantage should be taken of the assembling at Trenton, in that month, of a Convention on the subject of Common Schools, to organize, at the same time, an Historical Society. In consequence of this suggestion and a subsequent notice in the Newark Daily Advertiser, a meeting of a few gentlemen was held at Trenton, on the 13th of January, of which the Hon. Peter D. Vroom was appointed Chairman, and the Rev. Eli F. Cooley, Secretary: but a severe snow-storm having prevented the attendance of many who wished to be present, nothing was done except to appoint a Committee to prepare a draft of a Constitution and By-Laws, to be reported at a subsequent meeting to be held on the 27th of February. On that day a number of gentlemen from different parts of the State assembled at the City Hall, in Trenton, and the Hon. P. D. Vroom, Chairman of the previous meeting, not being present, Stacy G. Potts, Esq., was chosen to preside, and Mr. Joseph P. Bradley was appointed Secretary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
