Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourse, Embracing the Civil and Religious History of Rhode-Island: Delivered April 4, A. D. 1838, the Close of the Second Century From the First Settlement of the Island No people can dwell on the pages of their own history with more supreme satisfaction, or derive from that history more lasting and salutary instructions, than the people of Rhode-Island. To be ignorant of our own history, betrays a most criminal apathy to our own intellectual happiness, and to the high and elevated principles of the men from whom we descended, and by whom were transmitted and secured to us, the blessings of civil and religious freedom. The object of the writer in the following pages, has been to embody and present before the risen and rising generation, some of the most important facts and incidents of our history, during the past century. Nor could the writer feel justified, in a discourse of this nature, without alluding to the circumstances and events which led to the settlement of this State, and especially of our own loved Rhode-Island. The war of the Revolution, as connected with the history of this Island, which, for the greater part of that long continued and sanguinary conflict, was in possession of the enemy, constitutes unavoidably a large proportion of this discourse.
