This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Significance of Our Township Names, Vol. 1: No. 7 In the new world, while the township may have been bodily transplanted in a few instances before any higher government was organized, and its local rights and privileges and powers to a certain extent preserved, and while townships, as in the case of our own Lebanon, in many instances preceded the present county, organiza tions, the fact is, that what might theoretically be called the natural order of political development from the individual to the state, was in most instances reversed, and political organization proceeded from the state to the individual. Men came and took possession of the land and formed settlements in the name of the mother country. They did not settle together as so many individual units, organize themselves into a community which grew into an independent local government, that presently sought association and union with similar independent local settle ments, and thus became amalgamated into a larger whole, whether county, state or nation. The larger general government for the most part had already anticipated the other. And while as pennsylvania-germans we delight to trace our descent from the bearded sons of Thuiscon with their fierce blue eyes and to consider the Fatherland as the fountainhead of our civil liberty, the consideration of the relative growth of centralized power with the parallel development of our local and individual rights, in candor and truth compel certain wholesome reflections, to wit: I. That the loyal and redoubtable subjects of Kaiser Wilhelm, so hedged about in their ordinary affairs of everyday life with the arbitrary control of the Polizei that they scarce dare turn around in bed without a police regulation are hardly the people to give us lessons in personal liberty.

This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the County of Bruce, and of the Minor Municipalities Therein, Province of Ontario, Canada As the numbers became reduced of those who had entered the county of Bruce as its first settlers, a desire prevailed that, ere it was too late, an attempt be made to gather from their lips the story of the pioneer days; as this, with an accurate narrative of the early evolution of Bruce, must be obtained, if ever, before those who had been the active participants had passed away. In the preface to the Atlas of the County, published by H. Belden & Co., in 1880, is to be found the first effort made in this direction. This Atlas, however, was an expensive volume, and is in the possession of but few, and the historical sketch contained therein is but little known. In 1896 the County Council offered a prize of $50 for the best paper on the history of the county. In response to this, two papers were submitted, one written by John McNabb, the other by the author of this volume. Both of these papers were considered to possess such merit that the Council offered to give to each of the writers the prize offered, provided that two additional chapters be written - one on the Schools of Bruce, and the other on the Militia and Volunteers of the County. These two chapters were supplied by the writer. After paying the promised reward, the County Council let matters rest, taking no steps to publish the manuscripts submitted. From the foregoing it may be seen that a knowledge of any historical facts relating to the county has been largely confined to the recollections of the oldest inhabitants, and to them only. The two historical sketches above referred to were prepared along different lines. Mr. McNabb wrote largely of the history of the several minor municipalities. The other sketch was a continuous historical narrative of the county as a whole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Counties of Ontario The story of the countries of Ontario is a story of conquest - not of men against men - but of men, with little resource save their own strong arms, iron wills and alert intelligence, pitted against wild, beautiful, prolific Nature, and prevailing to subdue the earth. Carving their little farms from "the forest primeval," planting their own towns and cities at the meeting-places of mighty waters, making highways of every lake and river and streamlet deep enough to bear up a birch-bark canoe, our Loyalist "Pilgrim Fathers," many of whom I had been cast out as unworthy by the land of their birth, were privileged, as has often happened with outcasts, to found a new order of things and a new nation. This Province had not, of course, a monopoly of all the Loyalist settlers who came northwards after the revolution, but it had enough to bring it into being with a distinctive character of its own, enough, exclusive of other brave and useful pioneers, to furnish it with heroes - and heroines - for the early days of stress and strain and struggle - those days over which for us hangs the fairy glamour of romance, though few of us would have 5 discovered it had we had to live through them.
