Christian was elected to the latter office, which he still holds.

A wish has been expressed to the Secretary of the Southern Historical Society (the editor of its publication) that some account should be given of the origin and existence of the Society. Major-General Dabney H. Maury, in a letter dated November 3. 1890, writes: I feel a natural desire to record the history of the inception of the Southern Historical Society, which has accomplished a work so important for the Southern people. In May, 1868, I was a resident of New Orleans, surrounded by many comrades of the war between the States, with whom I daily exchanged recollections of that the greatest struggle for separate nationality the world has ever seen, and I felt the importance to history and to our posterity of making, while we could, a record of the facts then fresh in the memories of the actors; and addressed myself to the work.
