The stated Monthly Meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society was held at the residence of Richard Frothingham, No. 9 Monument Square, on the 10th of June, 1875. The first Vice-President, Hon. Charles Francis Adams, was in the chair.
The customary business having been transacted, the presiding officer made remarks appropriate to the occasion. He referred to the associations connected with the spot on which the Society had assembled, and called on Mr. Frothingham, who spoke substantially as follows: -
Mr. Frothingham"s Remarks.
I am glad to welcome this large attendance of the members on this famous battle-ground. It evinces the wide interest in the approaching great centenary. I do not mean to weary you with a recital of the old story of the Bunker Hill Battle, but purpose to confine my remarks to a few of the more important maps and illustrations displayed on the frame before you; and to have these remarks bear upon the main points of the battle.
