Then heassumes that the men held the pa])er when they went into the conven-tion which he finds thej- held afterward (page 75), But this does notfollow, for it is JuBt as probable that they bought the paper after-th-^ convention as before. Most of the paper that he is able toshow was. held before was in the hands of Gerry, Beard is right when ho says that the conventionwanted to protect the rights of property/ He opens up a field. 90 that should prove fruitful to historical scholars in the future,hut v;e can not bo sure of our conclusions until a great deal moreinvestigating has heen done than is represented in Mr Beards hook,llo doubt what he did represents a vast amount of labor, hut eventhen the results are hut fragmentary.
