Taking this view of the subject, the chasm in the Junto minutes of three and a half years, is not to be viewed as indicative necessarily of a suspension of the Society, but to be attributed rather to the loss of the records. This is also the opinion of Mr. Du Ponceau, and the Committee is happy to agree with him on this point. The draught of revised Laws, prepared by Owen Biddle and Isaac Paschall, was finally passed on the 30th of May 1766. They are the Junto Laws, but slightly altered, alread...y alluded to as adopted on the 30th of July 1761. The four qualifications are still retained, but the name Junto is omitted, and the title of the Society, held under advisement un- til the 13th of December 1766, when the name "The American Society for promoting and propa- gating Useful Knowledge, held in Philadelphia, " was adopted. Thus, though the Society changed its name, its Junto organization was still preserved. After this period, the Society underwent no change in its name or organization, until the 23rd of Sep- tember 1768, when it became "The American So- ciety held at Philadelphia for promoting Useful 74 KEPOKT OF THE COMMITTEE Knowledge, " which title it continued to bear until its union with the Philosophical Society on the 2nd of January 1769.
