Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Puritan Character: An Address Delivered Before the New England Society of the City of Montreal; December 23, 1857 Gentlemen of the New England Society: The celebration to which we gather here, has, in the eyes of some of us - of some even of the sons of New England - a certain aspect of novelty. Not that we have failed to cherish, as becomes us, the memory of the Pilgrims. Their names and their deeds have been as household words to us. Musing upon them till the fire has burned, we have told them to our children, and have sounded them forth in the chief places of concourse. As from year to year this anniversary has returned, we have given heed to the summons of other like societies, - hard by the rock of Plymouth itself; or in the old Puritan capital; or in the great metropolis of the nation; or in its newer regions, prompt to confess, in their matchless progress, the presence and the power of the New England spirit. We meet today, however, without the bounds of the land of the pilgrims. We are on British soil, within the sound of that drum-beat whose echoes girdle the globe.
