Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar: A Memoir In the ancient graveyard at Quincy in Massachusetts lies buried Joanna Hoar, who, as appears by a tablet over her grave came to New England in 1640. The cause of her migration is thus stated in words attributed to her by the subject of this memoir in a letter announcing a gift to Radcliffe College: - "I was a contemporary of the pious and bountiful Lady Radcliffe for whom your college is named. My honored husband, Charles Hoar, Sheriff of Gloucester in England, by his death in 1638 left me a widow with six children. We were of the people called by their revilers Puritans, to whom civil liberty, sound learning and religion were very dear. The times were troublous in England and the hands of princes and prelates were heavy upon God´s people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
