Excerpt from The Rhode-Island Book: Selections in Prose and Verse, From the Writings of Rhode-Island Citizens
But if we reverence the names of those who have read for us the mysteries of the visible heavens, shall we not reverence more, him who would unbind the fetters that for centuries have cramped the human mind, and shackled the conscience, that connecting link between God and man, and open for us the avenues to the very Heaven of heavens? We say, then, let there be for the name of Roger Williams an exalted place, - eu illuminated page in the his. Tory of Humanity.
