COOLIDGE, CALVIN. Typed Letter Signed, as Vice President, to William V. Alexander,
-
Notes: ". . . No one knows where the Latin quotation on the Seal of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts comes from. There is a little monograph written on it which I have seen, but I do not have a copy. If you care to apply to the State Librarian, State House, Boston, I think he could send it to you."
Since 1692, the motto of the Commonwealth of MA has been: "Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem [By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty]." The motto may have been written by Algernon Sydney (1623-1683) around 1659.
