Montague sat for a while in thought. He muttered, half to himself, "Governor Hannis! It takes my breath away!" "Get Davenant to tell you about it," said Curtiss, with a laugh.

The student will find some suggestive hints in Hannis Taylor's Origin and Growth of the English Constitution, vol. i, Boston, 1889. See Henry Hitchcock's American State Constitutions; a Study of their Growth, N.Y., 1887, a learned and valuable essay. Section 1. Origin of the Federal Union.
General Woodford was sent to Madrid to succeed Hannis Taylor, and he was instructed to tender again the good offices of the United States, to remind Spain of the resolution passed by the previous Congress, and to warn her that another Congress was soon to assemble.
