21 One of the best authorities on the subject of slavery in Massachusetts was Dr. Jeremy Belknap of Boston, an emi nent historical scholar, and the founder of the Massachu setts Historical Society. He was born in Boston in 1744. In order to correctly answer several queries from Judge Tucker of Virginia relating to slavery in Massachusetts, Dr. Belknap, in 1795, addressed some forty letters of enquiry to eminent and venerable citizens of the State ; and from the letters he received in reply and ...from personal conferences with others, united to his own knowledge, he drew up an answer to Judge Tucker, which was published three years later in the fourth volume of the Massachusetts Historical Society Collections. 1 Concerning the slave-trade he says : !The letters received by Dr. Belknap, of this correspondence, or so many of them as are preserved, were printed by me nine years ago in 5 Massachusetts Historical Society Collections, III. , 379-403. Of the writers of these, only seven in number, five have given their opinions on the subject in hand.
