Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pilgrim Fathers: Their Church and Colony To write on the history of the Pilgrim Fathers, a subject to which many scholars have devoted their lives, and about which a novice can hardly hope to discover any new fact, perhaps needs some apology. But some have written only for the learned, others to defend a creed, or to illustrate the growth of American colonization; it is many years since a popular book was published on the subject as a whole, and possibly the name of the Pilgrim Fathers is better known than their history. Wherever it was possible I have tried to consult original sources of information, and to verify even the best accepted facts and opinions. In the case of the Dutch Archives this has not been possible, and I am deeply indebted to "The Pilgrims in England and at Leyden," by the late Dr H. M. Dexter and his son, on which I have relied entirely for extracts from the Amsterdam and Leyden records. Professor Osgood´s "American Colonies in the Seventeenth Century" also gave me many valuable clues to the labyrinth of the Records of New Plymouth. The question of Dutch influence on Separatism in England and on the Pilgrims in particular, seems to me both interesting and important, linking as it does the great Republic of the seventeenth century with that of to-day. For this reason I have given rather an unusual amount of attention to the life of the Pilgrims in Holland, but am aware that the subject still needs fuller and more adequate treatment than mine.
