This is really the speech of Pinckney, introducing his draft of a
constitution in the Convention, May 29, 1787, which for some reason
was omitted by both Yates and Madison in their minutes. Though it
does not include the proposed draft, it nevertheless enables one to
form a clear idea of what it was, and proves that the draft furnished
by Pinckney at the request of J. Q. Adams, for publication in the
Journal, and from that generally copied into other places, to be
fictitious in both form and substance.
