“In 1819, when John Quincy Adams, by direction of Congress, edited
and published the Journal of the Federal Convention, he drew up ...
a list of the members.... This list was accepted and republished by
Elliot, ... by Curtis ... and more recently in the Official Programme
of the Constitutional Centenial, and no additions are promised in
the forthcoming memorial of that celebration—Thus this list prepared
in 1819, has become a fixture.... There are, however, several
omissions and by reference to original documents, acts, etc., I have
increased the list to seventy-four. To this I have added, in such
cases as I have been able, the reasons of members for declining the
appointment, and non-attendance of such as failed to be present in
the Convention; the day of arrival of attending members; the absence
of attending members; the date of leaving of those who failed to sign
the Constitution, with their reasons, and the part the non-attending
and non-signing members took in their own States in support or
opposition to the ratification.” _Extract from preface._
