Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from New England Whereas, Mr. Beecher, in his answer to Mr. Tilton´s charges, puts me in mind of holy Willie´s Prayer and is so strikingly in keeping with his career, viz., of holding up that part of the population of New England and this country, who are descendants of the Puritans, for a sample, as a moral and virtuous pure Christian people, and especially that phrase where he says, "I hold to the old New England doctrine," that every man cleave unto his own wife, and so forth; forsooth, not like those heathens Around about, as New Yorekrs, Jerseymen, or-other foreigners! Now, I for one protest against this Pharisaical slang, "O Lord, I thank Thee." &c., for New England has no right to be held up as a particular example to neither young or old, to be followed after! First leaving aside the Puritan´s twaddle of coming here for "conscience sake," and then proscribing everybody as soon as they had a footing, or their trading in rum, Indians, and negroes, stealing from them their land and selling them into slavery, or their fitting out those horrible hulks known as the African Slavers! Let bygones be bygones, and come down to Mr. Beecher´s time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
