Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of Old Kingston
It has been said that they know not England who only England know. On the same principle, we can not be said really to know our own time, unless we know something of the events that preceded it and helped to determine its character. To a community, the consciousness of its past gives the sense of con tinuity which is the principle of its collective life and the nurse of its patriotism.
