Excerpt from A Memorial of the Life and Character of Hon. William L. Dayton: Late U. S. Minister to France

On January 19th, 1865, at a meeting of the New Jersey Historical Society, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted:

Whereas, Since the last meeting of the Society, the country has been called to mourn the loss of its able representative at the Court of France, the Hon. William L. Dayton, long a member and officer of this Society, a ready and cheerful promoter of its objects, and at the time of his departure on his mission, one of its Vice Presidents; therefore

Resolved, That this Society has to lament, in the death of the Hon. William L. Dayton, the loss of one whose place at the Bar, in the Senate, in the Cabinet, and in the recollections of Jersey men is left vacant, and cannot soon be filled.

Resolved, That we deeply participate in the universal regret at his sudden and untimely decease, and that we sincerely sympathize with his family in their great and sore bereavement.

Resolved, That the character and services of Mr. Dayton as a distinguished and eminent Jerseyman, long occupying a large space in the public eye, are entitled to more than a mere passing tribute at the hands of this Society and his native State; and that a Committee be appointed to procure, if practicable, the preparation of some permanent and fitting memorial of his career.

The Chair appointed as the Committee referred to in the last resolution, Messrs. J. P. Bradley, Henry W. Green, and Frederick T. Frelinghuysen.

On the 18th May, 1865, Mr. Bradley submitted to the Society the following paper.
