Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Western Continent: A Discourse, Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Troy, July Fourth, 1841 The discovery of this continent by Columbus, whether contemplated as an effect or a cause, must ever occupy a high place among the illustrious events of our world. While we should ascribe this eventful discovery to the wise providence of God, we may, at the same time, consider it as the necessary result of the progress of human improvement. It was an end naturally attained by that spirit of active enterprize which had already begun its career in Europe, and which, for many years anterior to this period, had exerted an influence upon the various interests of human life. The fifteenth century was an age of mind. We must not expect, however, to see the human intellect at that time, highly cultivated or richly stored; nor to find knowledge generally or widely diffused: but the darkness which had, for centuries, brooded over the nations, was now passing away, and the fetters which had fast bound the human powers, were greatly relaxed, though not effectually broken. A new era had begun. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
