[40] "This day the state of New Jersey was represented, so that
there were now ten states in Convention."--Yates, _Secret
Proceedings_, etc., 99. But in the _Journal of the Federal
Convention (1819)_, as in Madison's account, New Jersey is
entered as present May 25th. On May 30 two votes are
recorded by Madison and in the _Journal_ without New Jersey.
It is probable that an error was made in the _Journal_ and
that Madison followed it.
