Morning clear with some light clouds, wind from N which gradually declined to calm. Temperature early 66°, rose about 11 to 80°
We heard the firings from Frankford, Germantown and the City, distinguished by their bearing, distances and noise.
Hoping that the day would end without disturbance I spent the morning in reading, first the appeal of the 34 minority members of the House of Representatives against the war--a State paper that will do them great honor in the page of future history. Second, the address of the House of Representatives Massachusetts to their constituents on the same subject--a very energetic instrument, calculated to rouse their spirit of 1774, which I witnessed at several of their town meetings which I attended during my journey to the E......[?] in that year. These two papers will furnish to future historians a large fund of information on the subject of the war.
After dinner I read Voling's View of the United States for the first time. I knew the man by the introduction of J Swanwick, but never returned the visit, suspecting him to be rather in search of political than philosophical knowledge and influence--his book upon this first reading appears to me to contain very superficial information and observations. I shall pursue it to the end and endeavor to judge of it without prejudice, and perhaps add some observations on it after I have better considered it.
This day being the 36th anniversary of the declaration of our Independence of the King of Britain will not I hope and ardently pray and trust be the beginning of an Epoque of our dependence on the Emperor of France, King of Italy and the other fallen States in Europe! But the present inhabitants of these States are so degenerated from their original settlers that it is to be feared that a regeneration through the sword of ire is necessary to bring them to a state capable of the pristine happiness of this Colony under W. Penn.
At 4 PM temperature 90°, wind came round by southeasterly in the day and continued from SWerly till night.
