About this source

The opening entry lists delegates and records the election of John W. Walker as president, John Campbell as secretary, and Daniel Rather as doorkeeper, followed by procedural committees. This is a 1909 photo-facsimile, whose colophon states 57 copies only, reproducing the 1819 journal. It is not a scan made directly from an identified 1819 original in the user's possession.
