Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of Harvard University: From Its Foundation to May, 1890 Under President Dunster the College grew, in spite of difficulties. He urged the Court to provide more generously for the maintenance and repair of the buildings, and suggested that each family in the Col ony should contribute annually one shilling for the support of the seminary. An attempt was also made to discourage graduates from returning to England a very common practice; they ought, it was justly oh served, to improve their parts and abilities in the service of the Colonies. But the intense theologi cal temper of that age was at last excited against Dun ster's open opposition to the baptism of infants: he was indicted by the grand jury, convicted by the court, sentenced to a public admonition on Lecture Day, and required to give bonds for good behavior. Even these stern measures did not appease the wrath of the Predobaptists, and in October, 1654, he was compelled to resign his office. The venerable Presi dent pleaded that the time was unseasonable - that his wife and youngest child were sick and could not be removed without danger - that he had exhausted his means in behoof of the College. The General Court heard his plea and reluctantly allowed him to remain in the President's house until the following March. When he removed to Scituate, and died soon after? Wards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Darwin's "Historical Sketch" has appeared as a preface to nearly every authorized edition of Darwin's Origin of Species since the second English edition was published in 1860. The "Historical Sketch" provides a brief history of opinion about the species question as a prelude to Darwin's own independent contribution to the subject, but its provenance is somewhat obscure. While some previous thinkers anticipated portions of Darwin's theory long before he did, none of them saw the complete picture as clearly as Darwin. As such, he was able to claim originality and priority for the idea that has transformed our understanding of nature. His "Historical Sketch" was written as an attempt to address these issues. Some things are known about its production, such as when it first appeared and what changes were made to it between its first appearance in 1860 and its final form in 1866. Other questions remain unanswered. How did it evolve in Darwin's mind? Why did he write it at all? What did he think he was accomplishing by prefacing it to Origin of Species? Curtis Johnson approaches these questions, offering some clarity on the originality of Darwin's work. Darwin's "Historical Sketch" is the first comprehensive study of Darwin's "Preface" to Origin of Species. Johnson conveys the pressure Darwin felt from friends and other correspondents to showcase the originality of his theory, and he tackles questions of originality by carefully examining the 35 authors Darwin referenced in this monumental text.
