Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of New England: Illustrated Being a Narrative of the Principal Events From the Arrival of the Pilgrims in 1620 and of the Puritans in 1624 to the Present Time We have now entered upon the tercentenary of the inception of the movement, which in a few short years, insignificant in the beginning, crystallized itself into what has proven to be up to the present time the greatest power in humanizing the world that has ever been witnessed. That little band of people, who in defence of their convictions of religious freedom, left England and sought an asylum in Holland in 1609, a land where the people lived under a written constitution, expounded by an independent judiciary, worshipping in a religious freedom that received its promptings from the consciousness of the soul, was the haven they reached. It was there that they saw and imbibed the principles of Republicanism that became ingrafted into their conscience and which even before their feet pressed upon the soil of New England gave birth to that compact - the foundation of the constitution of the greatest Republic the world has ever known. It was there that they lived in an atmosphere permeated with religion, where the Bible was read several times a day in every house, where, while they were among them, the people printed twenty-four editions of the New Testament and fifteen of the Bible. Where education was of the supremest importance, and the golden rule the principle under which the people lived.
