Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 61 Art. I. - The Library of American Biography; conducted by Jared Sparks. Second Series. Vol. IV. Boston: Charles C. Little & James Brown. 1845. 12mo. pp. 446. This volume of Mr. Sparks´s "Library of American Biography" contains memoirs of three persons who, though for very different reasons, deserve to be ever freshly remembered by the American people. They are Roger Williams, Timothy Dwight, and Count Pulaski. Especially are we pleased to see a new life of Roger Williams, ably and tastefully written by Professor Gammell, of Brown University. Before the appearance of this biography, the only memoir of Roger Williams of any value was that by the late Mr. Knowles. He was the first American writer to do justice to the great merits of the founder of the State of Rhode Island. His work, elaborately though not elegantly written, minute in its details, and learned in the knowledge both of its subject and of early New England history, left to the subsequent biographer but little chance of throwing additional light upon the life or character of Williams. Mr. Gammell, though he has consulted all the works of our Colonial history relating to his theme, has not found occasion, in any important points, to correct the statements made, or, in the main, to vary from the opinions expressed, by his predecessor. The memoir which he has prepared, as its position in a series of popular biographies required, is more brief, and more closely confined to the life of the individual.
