Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ancestral Sketches and Records of Olden Times Beyond a doubt, in this country, "Old things are passed away." Difficult it is, even now, to collect and recall the events that were of such vital interest to our ancestors of two or three hundred years ago, or fully to understand the motives that then actuated them. Things of moment seem almost forgotten; and even fifty years hence, with our changes and fluctuations, matters may fare worse with us. American names of old families may be almost (as they often are now) forgotten. New races, new holders of the soil, perhaps a new language, a new theology-, a new form of government, a new order of things generally, may have become the outgrowth of things that now are. Foreign influences, foreign organizations, foreign ideas, may have supervened, and the only old thing left, may be the recently imported Obelisk, when even the personality of the banished Egyptian Khedive Ismail, its donor, will have become as traditionary as that of the monarch whose name is chiselled on its face. Why should all this be? Is it due to the hurry and confusion of our rapid growth? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
