That we will without reserve, communicate our thoughts to each other, and to the people, on every subject which may either tend to amend our government, or to preserve it from the innovations of ambition, and the designs of faction. To accomplish this desirable object, we do agree to commit to paper our sentiments, in plain and intelligible language, on every subject which concerns the general weal, and transmit the same to the Honorable John Blair, Esq; whom we hereby constitute President of the said Society, with powers to congregate the members thereof, either at Richmond, or Williamsburg, whenever he may suppose that he has a sufficient quantity of materials collected for publication. It is farther agreed, that it shall be a rule of the said Society, that no publications shall be made till after mature deliberation in the convocation, it shall have been so 293
