Excerpt from The Influence of the Netherlands in the Making of the English Commonwealth and the American Republic: With Notice of What the Pilgrims Learned in Holland, Their Treatment by the Government and People, and Answers to Criticisms Made Upon the Proposed Delfshaven Memorial; A Paper Read Before the Boston Congregational Club, Monday Evening, Oct; 26, 1891
For the settlement of the historical questions raised by critics of the larger enterprise inaugurated by this Club, it was necessary that those who defended it should not be content with second hand Opinions, but form their judgments independently, after examination of the sources of authority. Accordingly the writer made a special trip to the Netherlands and to the eastern counties of England, spending a month in each of these countries, seeking new facts, and refreshing the memory, also, of a line of readings begun some years ago and continued to the present time. The result has been the confirmation of judgments to which, as a student and independent investigator, he came some years ago.
