Excerpt from Life of Roger Williams, the Founder of the State of Rhode Island
IN preparing the following sketch of Roger Williams, the writer has consulted nearly all the works of New England history, from which ma terials might be derived for the illustration of his life and character. He 18, however, by far the most indebted to the elaborate Memoir, prepared by the late Mr. Knowles, a work of great fulness and accuracy of information re specting not only the immediate subject to which it relates, but also the general affairs of New England in that early age. This work, which probably contains all that can now be known concerning the life of the calumniated founder of Rhode Island, renders the task of a sabse quent biographer comparatively easy. The nar rative of Mr. Knowles has been generally com pared with the original authorities on which he relies, and in all cases his statements have been found to be correct.
