Reproduction of the original: A Report of the Debates and Proceedings in the Secret Sessions of the Conference Convention for Proposing Amendments to the Constitution of the United States by Lucius Eugene Chittenden
A Report of the Debates and Proceedings in the Secret Sessions of the Conference Convention by L.E. Chittenden is a report recording the Virginia Secession Convention of 1861. This convention was called in Richmond to determine whether Virginia would secede from the United States, govern the state during a state of emergency, and write a new Constitution for Virginia, which was subsequently voted down in a referendum under the Confederate Government. Excerpt: "If I had been guided by my judgment alone it is not probable that these notes of the debates in the Conference, held upon the invitation of Virginia, at Washington, in February 1861, would have been made public. From the commencement of its sessions, a portion of the members was in favor of the daily publication of the proceedings."
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
