On the 12th of September, 1768, a great meeting was held in Faneuil Hall, but the crowd was such as to make necessary and adjournment to Sewall's Meeting-house. James Otis was moderator of the meeting. The presence of British soldiers, evidently sent to Boston to enforce the decrees of an arbitrary government, was sufficient to bring into play all the elements of patriotism.英文原著 · 《James Otis The Pre-Revolutionist》
From the great meeting place -- Sheshegu -- we went through the Alice district. In this district we met several men who would get no crops -- their annual income -- the next year, as the law had placed an embargo on their ordinary avocation. King Williamstown was also visited, and there at a meeting held in the Baptist Church, which was kindly lent for the purpose by the Rev. Pierce, it was unanimously resolved to appeal to His Majesty the King against the Natives' Land Act. Sebe presided over this meeting of representative Natives, and Mr. Bassie translated the Act.英文原著 · 《Native Life in South Africa》
Admission was by ticket, and everything was in order up to eight o'clock, when Commandant Erasmus took the chair. General De Wet was carried shoulder high into the meeting amid thunderous applause. The local police force had had timely notification that the meeting was arranged for, but the paper complains that only seven of them were to be seen about the building, and these seven apparently were seized with a blindness of a mysterious kind, for they saw nothing of the disturbance that occurred during the meeting, except when it was thought necessary to arrest an Afrikander.英文原著 · 《Native Life in South Africa》

He asked Edward to be there to take the notes of the meeting.英文原著 · 《The Americanization of Edward Bok》
``My friends, if there is an attempt to disturb this meeting, remember what we of the League stand for. No violence. Draw away from every disturber, and wait for the police to act. If the police stop our meeting, let them--and be ready to go to court and testify to the exact words of the speaker on which the meeting was stopped. Remember, we must be more lawful than the law itself!''英文原著 · 《The Conflict》
