Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse Delivered in the First Church of Dover, May 18, 1873, on the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Settlement of Dover, N. H
Two Hundred and Fifty years ago! Then James the First was on the throne of England, nearing the end of his vices and stupidities. Shakespeare was but just resting in his tomb from his immortal labors. Galileo was getting ready his heretical solar system to lay at the feet of the newly elected Pope. Bacon still lived, and wrote with all his wonted profundity of thought and splendor of eloquence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
