Excerpt from Miscellanies
As the time draws sensibly near to the survivors of the Williams College class of 1852, as they propose to gather at Williamstown in June to keep their semi-centennial celebration of graduation, I have been led to consider whether there be anything that I could do in a formal yet simple way to make somewhat more memorial than it otherwise might be a meeting to which I look forward with the deepest interest. The only reason why I should entertain a feeling of this sort more than any other member of the class is this: The year following our graduation had not more than one-half passed by when I had received and accepted the position in the college which I now hold Emeritus and with a salary; so that my home has virtually been in Williamstown for fifty years without a break, besides the four years which we spent together here as a college class.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of Scotch-Irish immigrants in the formation of New England. The author explores their initial arrival in 1718, their subsequent establishment in towns such as Worcester, Pelham, and Colerain, and their struggles to maintain their Presbyterian faith amidst the dominant Puritan culture. The author discusses the cultural and religious tensions that arose between the two groups, particularly regarding taxation and worship, and highlights the Scotch-Irish community's resilience in the face of discrimination. The book provides valuable insights into the complex social and religious dynamics of early New England, and sheds light on the contributions and experiences of a significant immigrant group in American history.
