Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lineage of Rev. Richard Mather This is not the place' to defend these worthies from the attacks made by narrow-minded thinkers and writers, who would do well to read carefully what Professor Pond and Rev. Chandler Robbins, as well as other prominent authors, have testified re garding this noted family. One of the most precocious students ever known was the son Of Rev. Increase Mather, and Harvard University may well be proud of the name of Rev. Nathaniel Mather, who graduated from.that institution at the head of his class at the early age of sixteen years, having taken a full course, and delivered his valedictory in the Hebrew language, taking for his theme, the condition Of Hebrew learning throughout the world. At the age of seventeen, he was in correspondence with the savants of the different countries of Europe in their respec tive languages on scientific and learned subjects, and but for his untimely death at nineteen years of age, the world might have enjoyed the benefits of one of the most gigantic intellects that ever lived.

Download or read book Genealogy 101 written by Barbara Renick and published by Thomas Nelson Inc. This book was released on 2003 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent Maritz Poll reported that 60% of Americans are interested in their family history. And with good reason. Through genealogy, you can go back into history to meet people who have had more influence on your life than any others -- your ancestors. And the better you get to know your ancestors, the better you will get to know yourself: the who's and what's and why's of you. Barbara Renick, a nationally-known lecturer on genealogy, tells the uninitiated researcher the steps needed to find out who their ancestors really were, and brings together for even the more experienced genealogical researchers the important principles and practices. She covers such topics as the importance of staying organized and how to go about it; where and how to look for information in libraries, historical societies, and on the internet; recognizing that just because something is in print doesn't mean it's right; and how to prepare to visit the home where your ancestors lived. Genealogy 101 is the first book to read when you want to discover who your ancestors were, where they lived, and what they did.

This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early modern Europe it was generally believed that the Devil employed his hellish agents to plague and tempt the select of God. The consequences were witchcraft trials which culminated in Salem in 1692. What is unique about Salem is that it occurred well after the great European witchcraft epidemics had ceased. In Europe by the year 1650, people were turning to explanations of natural phenomena based on scientific experimentation. The settlers in New England participated in this intellectual awakening. They accepted science as an ally, believing that scientific truth could not clash with revealed truth. One of the earliest New England scientists was John Winthrop, Jr. Widely traveled, he brought the first astronomical telescope to America. Winthrop's observations of American fauna and flora were published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1670. Thomas Brattle, a New England merchant, was a mathematician and an amateur astronomer. He made observations of Halley's Comet, of eclipses of the sun and moon, and of variations of the magnetic needle. His contributions won the attention of Sir Isaac Newton. In 1688 in England, Sir Isaac Newton published Principia Mathematica. This book initiated the scientific study of the visible universe. In 1689 in New England, Cotton Mather published Memorable Providences Relating to Witchcraft and Possessions. This book was Cotton Mather's first attempt to give a scientific account of the invisible universe of the Devil. In Latin, he wrote, "Haec ipse miserrima vidi," or "These things these wretched eyes beheld." Together with his numerous sermons and pamphlets, his book represented a major effort to instill in the minds of the people a belief in the reality of witchcraft and a fear of witches. The result is that the name of Cotton Mather is the name most enduringly linked to episode of Salem witchcraft in 1692. The English Puritans had moved to New England in order to gain the liberty to worship God as they chose. Their aim was to form orderly communities "without pope, prelate, presbytery, prince, or parliament." However, with the establishment of any organized system, there are always voices of dissent. In 1692 William Barker, a resident of Andover, was arrested for witchcraft. His confession, in part, reads: "He confesses he has been in the snare of the devil three years. That the devil first appeared to him like a black man and perceived he had a cloven foot. That the devil demanded of him to give up himself Soul & Body unto him, which he promised to do. Barker said he had a great family; the world went hard with him and was willing to pay every man his own. Barker confesses he was at a meeting of witches at Salem Village where he judges there were about a hundred of them. Satan's design was to set up his own worship, abolish all the churches in the land, to fall next upon Salem and so go through the country. He saith the devil promised that all his people should live bravely, that all persons should be equal; that there should be no day of resurrection or of judgement, and neither punishment nor shame for sin." Barker's words, "People should live bravely, that all persons should be equal," represented an expression of the idea of freedom. In 1776, this sentiment was more clearly expressed by Thomas Jefferson: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." The wisdom of William Barker and Thomas Jefferson won the day, not the notions of Cotton Mather.

Download or read book How to Hang a Witch written by Adriana Mather and published by Ember. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller! It’s the Salem Witch Trials meets Mean Girls in this New York Times bestselling novel from one of the descendants of Cotton Mather, where the trials of high school start to feel like a modern-day witch hunt for a teen with all the wrong connections to Salem’s past. Salem, Massachusetts, is the site of the infamous witch trials and the new home of Samantha Mather. Recently transplanted from New York City, Sam and her stepmother are not exactly welcomed with open arms. Sam is the descendant of Cotton Mather, one of the men responsible for those trials—and almost immediately, she becomes the enemy of a group of girls who call themselves the Descendants. And guess who their ancestors were? If dealing with that weren’t enough, Sam also comes face to face with a real, live (well, technically dead) ghost. A handsome, angry ghost who wants Sam to stop touching his stuff. But soon Sam discovers she is at the center of a centuries-old curse affecting anyone with ties to the trials. Sam must come to terms with the ghost and find a way to work with the Descendants to stop a deadly cycle that has been going on since the first accused witch was hanged. If any town should have learned its lesson, it’s Salem. But history may be about to repeat itself. “It’s like Mean Girls meets history class in the best possible way.” —Seventeen Magazine “Mather shines a light on the lessons the Salem Witch Trials can teach us about modern-day bullying—and what we can do about it.” —Bustle “Strikes a careful balance of creepy, fun, and thoughtful.” —NPR I am utterly addicted to Mather’s electric debut. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, twisting and turning with ghosts, witches, an ancient curse, and—sigh—romance. It’s beautiful. Haunting. The characters are vivid and real. I. Could. Not. Put. It. Down.” —Jennifer Niven, bestselling author of All the Bright Places
