Several of the daughters of Thomas and Sarah Robinson were remarkable for their personal charms and intellect ual and literary attainments. One of them, Mary, married John Morton of Philadelphia. She was an uncommonly charming person, whom I well know in my boyhood and early youth. She was a Quaker preacher, not only the best of that sect I ever heard, but I think surpassed both in strength and richness of matter and manner any man preacher I ever list ened to. Her utterances were the more agreeable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Vernon House, in Newport, R. I There stands in the ancient town of Newport, on the Island of Rhode Island, a house of unusual historic interest. This house has recently been purchased under circumstances which ensure its permanent preservation. It is therefore now entitled to a review of its past, and it has been thought that it would be agreeable and fitting at this time, to consider, somewhat in detail, the scenes that it has witnessed and the distinguished persons who have been entertained within its walls. To such a retrospect, this paper is dedicated. The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, to give it its full title, is the smallest in the Union. It is, nevertheless, as its name indicates, made up of two very distinct parts. Two capitals, persisting to modern times, long reminded us of this dual origin. Providence was founded by the Salem minister, Roger Williams; Rhode Island by a body of men from Massachusetts Bay who differed from the Puritan tenets, and desired liberty of conscience. With this in view. They came hither to found in the wilderness a state, in which, following the inner light, they might also assure to others the freedom which they had been denied. The first settlement on this island was made in 1638. Newport was founded in the following year - May, 1639. Of the nine adventurers who were banded together in this enterprise, one is of special interest to us, for it is on his original grant that the Vernon House stands. Jeremy Clarke was his name, and the tract of land apportioned to him was a choice one. Extending, it is said, from the Parade to Church Street, and from the waterside to a line high on the hill, it covered a number of acres of most desirable land, high and well drained, as well as convenient to the centre of the town. Jeremy Clarke's house stood, it is believed, just above the line of the present Thames Street. With the green plot before it and the water beyond-behind, the orchard and fields - ir must have been a pleasant place of residence. Living and dying here, Jeremy Clarke was buried on his own land, in a tomb by the waterside, the site of which is long since obliterated. To him succeeded his son, Walter Clarke, the Governor, and he it was who divided the land, running a street through it from East to West - called New Lane or Mary Street, the last name traditionally for his wife, Mary. Another street, starting from the Parade and bounding Walter Clarke's orchard, was and is called Clarke Street.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Coddington in Rhode Island Colonial Affairs Without this common bond of association, the ih dications are, that Providence, Rhode Island and Warw1ck would have been, and in fact, for a time were, antagonistic; the elements were exceptionally turbulent; Providence, under its original purely democratic organization, was a scene of confusion, so that good Mr. Yvilliams frequently groaned in spirit, as his correspondence abundantly testifies Newport was not free from difficulties of a similiar character Gorton, Holden, Carder, Potter, Shotten and Wicks were expelled and outlawed in March, 1642, and frequent records of suits at law between Coddington, Brenton, Dyer and others, prove that they were not purely saints, but as other men.

Download or read book A People s History of the World written by Chris Harman and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on A People’s History of the United States, this radical world history captures the broad sweep of human history from the perspective of struggling classes. An “indispensable volume” on class and capitalism throughout the ages—for readers reckoning with the history they were taught and history as it truly was (Howard Zinn) From the earliest human societies to the Holy Roman Empire, from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, from the Industrial Revolution to the end of the twentieth century, Chris Harman provides a brilliant and comprehensive history of the human race. Eschewing the standard accounts of “Great Men,” of dates and kings, Harman offers a groundbreaking counter-history, a breathtaking sweep across the centuries in the tradition of “history from below.” In a fiery narrative, he shows how ordinary men and women were involved in creating and changing society and how conflict between classes was often at the core of these developments. While many scholars see the victory of capitalism as now safely secured, Harman explains the rise and fall of societies and civilizations throughout the ages and demonstrates that history moves ever onward in every age. A vital corrective to traditional history, A People's History of the World is essential reading for anyone interested in how society has changed and developed and the possibilities for further radical progress.
