Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, 1844, Vol. 20
IT is a little more than two centuries since a small and feeble company of emigrants embarked from Europe for the new western world. Impell ed by persecution and the love of political 'and religious liberty, they cheerfully encountered the perils of thesee and the wilderness, to found upon these shores afree and Christian commonwealth. How vast and beneficent the consequences, as now seen, and more as now anticipated. Guarded by that Providence that conducted Israel to the promised land. They nobly endured af?iction, overcame obstacles and opposition, tamed what was fierce, subdued what was rugged and unyielding in nature, or ganized good government, enacted just and salutary laws, established education, built towns and cities, dedicating themselves and their works to Him, whom they delighted to honor by temples, but whose throne they knew was Heaven, whose footstool earth, who determines the times and habitations of all men, and rules with absolute authority the universe.
