Excerpt from A New Historic Manual Concerning the Three Rattles: At Trenton and Princeton, New Jersey; During the War for American Independence; In 1776 and 1777
IN the sixteenth century a little book was the gift of the first English martyr to his family, of whom the writer claims to be a lineal descendant. It was given to comfort the faithful and to warn the faithless that Truth will outlive persecution.
In the nineteenth century, in this now all free country, martyrdom is dead. Little books and big books can be copy-righted by the act of Congress, and what is written can be read or let alone. SO be it with my humble Brochure.
