Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Landing at Cape Anne, or the Charter of the First Permanent Colony on the Territory of the Massachusetts Company: With an Inquiry Into Its Authority and a History of the Colony; 1624-1628, Roger Conant, Governor
As the geologist discovers vestiges of the primitive globe and its inhabitants in the pebble and the fossil, as the geographer explores great rivers back to mountain rivulets, so the historian finds eloquent witnesses of former generations in crumbling monuments and obscure parchments, and traces national greatness to its beginning. Thus the incidents in the early lives of the good and great are gleaned with interest and veneration, and the events in the dawn of a nation's existence are clothed with dignity and importance, proportionate to its after intelligence and greatness.
