Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Celebration of the Anniversary of the Settlement at Jamestown, on the 13th of May, 1607 Hence, said Mr. Peyton, it embraces within its limits what forms a most important element of its teeming population, a large representation from each State in the Union, and of every government on the habitable globe, which has been liberalized by the ameliorating influences of commerce, or illumined by the lights of civilization. Each of these representations, said Mr. Peyton, bring with them, from the homes of their nativity to the home of their adoption, and preserve, with cherished fondness, the sacred love of their Fatherland. A generation, fellow-citizens, said Colonel P., will not suffice to wear out the tender recollections of the homes of their birth; or the sacred spots which enshrine the bones cf their venerated ancestors; or the deeply graven impressions of childhood; or the remembrance of schoolboy sports and youthful attachments. These, said Colonel Peyton, with the memories of their country's trials and their country's triumphs, cluster around their hearts and cling to them through life, while all that was odious, or painful, or disagreeable, is covered up in oblivion. Such, fellow-citizens, said Mr. P., is human nature. If I may be allowed to use the felicitous idea of a gifted friend, whose thoughts always sparkle with the brilliancy of true gems, I would say that there is a merciful influence in absence, which scatters a benevolence of recollection over those from whom we are separated. It melts down prejudices; it extinguishes animosities; it pours a Lethean stream over faults and injuries; and gives to the affections themselves a deeper tone of tenderness. It sheds over the past and the absent a moonlight glory, pale and pure, more serene and lovely than the fiercest glow from a meridian sun.

This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address at the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Settlement of Jamestown It seems to me that what is said on this spot on this occa sion should relate to the spiritual side of the work and the fruits of the Jamestown settlement, whose Three Hundredth Anniversary we are here today to celebrate, rather than to the material or physical side. And it is in this spirit that I wish to deal with it in this presence. And first on this spot on this occasion I wish to mention with reverence the name of Sir Walter Raleigh: Lord, and Chief Governor of Virginia, to whom, under God's Provi dence, more than any other human being is due the fact that this Country belongs to the English Speaking Race, and the Civilization which it represents. Three hundred years ago, on this Island - which until then, through all the ages, since the birth of things, had lain desert and untrodden by any feet save those of the wild beast and the yet wilder savage, - to which Spain had simply asserted a traditionary right as a part of the vast unknown region of the American Continent - landed a little band of sea-worn Englishmen and took posession in the name of God and of the Crown of England. Since the 20th day of December preceding, when they weighed anchor in the River Thames and dropped down the stream with the receding tide, they had in their three little ships been making their way slowly and painfully across the wintry Atlantic. These small vessels: The Sarah Con stant, (of one hundred tons) with Captain Christopher New port, the Admiral, in command, The Goodspeed, (of forty tons) with Captain Bartholomew Cosmold, the vice-admiral, and The Discovery, a pinnace, (of twenty tons), with Cap tain John Ratcliffe, had, reckoning all the time since they weighed anchor in the Thames until they dropped anchor inthe Powhatan, made only about one knot per hour. Time moves slowly when weighted with the burden of Fate. Those frail boats in which men might hesitate now to cruise along the margin of the coast, bore in their wombs the destinies of Nations. When on May 13, 1607, they moored to the trees of this Island in six fathom water, they moored Europe to Amer ica. They moored the Old to the New. They moored the English Civilization with all its possibilities to the New World with all its possibilities. There were times when it appeared that their cables were in danger of parting. But though frayed to the slenderest, they never wholly gave way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Celebration of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the English Settlement at Jamestown: May 13, 1857 I need not remind you that these wretched survivors resolved to abandon the country, and under the command of Sir Thomas Gates and Sir George Somers, who had been wrecked on the Bermudas in the Sea Venture, which incident gave birth to Shakespeare's play of the Tempest, they bade, as they supposed, a final adieu to Virginia, where they had buried so many of their comrades, and where they themselves had experienced so much Of suffering. But it was ordained by the higher power that this should not be. Every sail was set, and every heart was filled with joy at what was considered an escape from death, when Lord Delaware, with well appointed ships, more than three hundred emi grants, and abundant supplies, met them in the river, off Mulberry Island, and induced their return to Jamestown. It deserves to be mentioned that Lord Delaware was the first who bore the title of Governor. He assumed a style of display but little suited to the condi tion of the colony. In a town whose buildings were covered with clap-boards and Indian mats, he maintained a state which would not have disgraced the sovereigns of England. Yet his rule was wise, energetic, and beneficial. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birth of the Nation: Jamestown, 1607 The story of a world emerging from the darkness in which it had been hidden for countless ages will always thrill the imagination. Phantom ships loom dimly out of the mists of a far-off time. Strange names are whispered in vague traditions, which are found in no written record names of mighty mariners, who were blown by tempests upon a strange coast, Arthur; Malgro; Brandon; a Fryer of Lynn, who by reason of his black art reached the North Pole in 1360 Madock, some of Quinneth, Prince of Wales, a man of peace, who sought refuge in a wilderness because of strife among his brethren; Leif, the Norwegian; Nicolo Zeno, the Venetian; Hanno, the Carthaginianl Colossal figures tremble for a moment on the horizon, and are lost in fog and doubt.
