Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biographical Notices of Distinguished Men in New England: Statesmen, Patriots, Physicians, Lawyers, Clergymen and Mechanics It is a natural and laudable desire to know the principles, character and services of our ancestors. Curiosity may induce us to read the history of other countries, and to learn the customs, opinions and character of the inhabitants; and some useful information maybe thus acquired; affording information and admonitions, which merit attention for the conduct of life. But a knowledge of the principles and character of our ancestors, by whose institutions, literary, political, and religious, the present and coming generations are, in a great measure, affected, or to be affected, is far more important. Changes in society, with a view to improvement, may be expected; for mankind do not long pause at the point already reached. The great aim of human effort is progress - and yet a reference to the condition and state of former generations may furnish lessons for good, to a subsequent one. In the present volume, the desire has been to give the character and state the opinions and services of the patriots of the Revolution, as well as of the original founders of New England; some of the most distinguished Clergymen in every period of its history: and of men in more private life, who, by their writings or inventions, have been useful in the Commonwealth.
