Excerpt from Addresses During the Final Exercises, June 7-11, 1909
What is there, in the annals of mankind, more superb on the one hand, than the Dutch resistance at Harlem, or Leiden or Nieuport in their battle for independence; or on the other than the triumph for English liberties at Runnemede, or Mar ston Moor or Naseby? Coming nearer to our own history, it was to the co-operation of these two peoples - one of which detained the Duke of Parma's army in the Netherlands, while the other sailed forth under command of Howard and Drake and Hawkins, and other famous sea-kings, that Spain's so called Invincible Armada was defeated in I 588, the Spanish sea-power broken, and the way opened for the planting of anglo-saxon civilization at Jamestown in 1607. The people of the Netherlands are more closely allied to the Angles and the Saxons, out of whose stock our race is formed, than any other ethnological stock extant, and to the thinking person, there can, perhaps, be no more suggestive combination of words than William and Mary, as used in the title of this college, unless it be the very words anglo-saxon themselves.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, crafted from speeches delivered at William and Mary College on the occasion of its bicentennial in 1909, is a captivating exploration of history's role in shaping the present through a historical lens. The author draws parallels between the inaugural 1699 ceremony featuring Native American and New York attendees and present-day academic celebrations to illustrate the enduring bonds tying Virginia to its past and future. Exploring themes of historical continuity, the author emphasizes the responsibility each generation bears towards its ancestors and descendants. The speeches also examine the interconnectedness of global events, with particular attention to the significant influence of Dutch resistance against Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries on the founding of Anglo-Saxon civilization in the New World. Through thought-provoking reflections on the profound impact of the past on the present, this book highlights the importance of understanding history to forge a path towards a better future.
