Excerpt from Discourses and Addresses on Subjects of American History, Arts, and Literature
The following discourses and speeches, delivered on different occasions, were printed at the time, and some of them passed through more than one edition in a pamphlet form. Though they were pronounced on various occasions and at considerable intervals of time, they have yet a general unity of purpose, being all designed to direct public attention to the history, biography, arts, and literature of our own country. It has, therefore, been thought, that they might be appropriately collected and republished together.
The rapid progress of improvement in the United States has made some of the criticisms and remarks contained in them less applicable than they were when first written. For instance, the publication of several excellent works of American Biography, within the last two or three years, has taken away much of the justice of the complaint in the Historical Discourse, of our neglect of the memory of our illustrious dead.
As, however, this and some similar remarks on other points were perfectly correct at the time, and still apply, though much less forcibly, it has not been thought proper to erase them.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the historical journey of noble, patriotic Europeans who influenced the fight for freedom, faith, human rights, education, and morality in the new world. From Las Casas's untiring work to protect the indigenous population to Roger Williams's dedication to freedom of conscience in the Providence colony and William Penn's 'Holy Experiment' in Pennsylvania, this book traces the lives of men whose actions and ideas laid the groundwork for democracy and religious tolerance in the Americas. The author explores these men's writings and documented conversations to provide insight and context to their motivations while highlighting the impact they had not only on their own societies but also on the broader development of Western political thought.
