Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rhode Island and the Formation of the Union, Vol. 10 In 1643 a union of the four colonies, Massachusetts, Con necticut, Plymouth, and New Haven, was formed with the express stipulation that no other colony Should be admitted.' Neither Providence nor Rhode Island was invited to enter the union, nor was a direct request from them destined to receive a favorable reply. On the eve of what might have proved a serious Indian war, the only concession to be gained was permission for Newport to buy one barrel of powder. Even this was denied to Providence. Indications that the United Colonies would soon substitute aggression for Simple non-intercourse, was a potent factor in bringing about a union under a patent from the home government. The band of settlers at Moshassuck had no intention of founding a state. Their early organization was that of a town, composed of joint proprietors dwelling apart from any regularly constituted authority. Their government was a pure democracy. The householders met once a week to consult on the common peace, watch and planting. Mutual consent, says Williams, have finished all matters with speed and peace.2 The first written compact entered into declared for government by the majority.3 When a modification was found necessary, the sparing hand with which power was delegated is remarkable. Five Dis posers were elected to have charge of the proprietary and governmental interests of the town. These officers were elected for the term of three months, at the end of which time they were to give an account of their doings to the town. Any one aggrieved by the action of the disposers might appeal to the town in town meeting. Private disputes were settled by arbitration.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second Rhode Island Regiment: A Narrative of Military Operations in Which the Regiment Was Engaged From the Beginning to the End of the War for the Union This volume is due to the action of the Second Rhode Island Veteran Association, taken at its second annual meeting, July 21st, 1871. The association was formed in 1870, for the purpose of perpetuating the ties of comradeship, and binding more closely together the hearts of men who had stood together in the face of danger and death, striving for the preservation of the Republic. At the meeting in 1871 Major Stephen H.Brown, who was especially fitted for the task, was chosen as the historian of the Regiment. Major Brown, however, thought best to decline the office, and the present author was appointed to prepare the history. As a matter of course, there has been considerable delay in the work, the time required for the preparation of the volume having been, as it were, snatched from the numerous labors of a busy profession. Great care has been taken to ensure accuracy, yet doubt less some errors will be detected, as would naturally be expected in the multiplicity of details connected with the movements of the Regiment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arbor Day, Rhode Island: May 10, 1901 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly thou settlest the furrows thereof thou makest it soft with showers thou blessest the springing thereof. He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. By them shall the fowls of heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. The trees of the Lord are full of sap: the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted Where the birds make their nests as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. Except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitution of Rhode Island and Equal Rights IS it asked, what excuse the small minority of citizens, who prefer a suffrage so greatly restricted, offer for thus departing from the funda mental principle of American institutions, that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed? Their answer is, the danger which would accrue to good government from universal suf frage. It would seem to devolve upon them to show that we do possess an exceptionally superior government, that our elections are purer, and our public servants better, than those of other Commonwealths, where the franchise is free. This they cannot do. On the contrary, during the twenty years that Rhode Island has been ruled by a minority, corruption in politics has been rife - as bad, perhaps worse, in proportion to the num ber of inhabitants, than in any other State. We have proved no exception to the rule that the pocket borough is the most easily bought and sold, a fact which furnishes a strong argument why, since our borders cannot be extended, we should increase the voting population by broadening the basis of suffrage. As to the quality of our public servants, suffice it to say that during the twenty years past of the men who have been sent to Con gress one only, Hon. Thomas A. J enckes, has acquired an enviable national reputation, while other States, with no better material for stat-es men, have been represented during all that period by one or more men of international fame.
