Book excerpt: "[...]formidable at sea; lastly, for a complement of all these blessings, they were enjoyed under the protection of a King of the most harmless disposition; the most exemplary piety; the greatest sobriety, chastity, and mercy, that ever Prince had been endowed with: But all these blessings could but enable, not compel, us to be happy. We wanted that sense, acknowledgement, and value of our own happiness, which all but we had; and we took pains to make, when we could not find ourselves miserable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Loyalists, Vol. 1 of 3: An Historical Novel Under the in uence of these passions, how often has one restless spirit disturbed the repose of a prosperous nation, and Spread desolation and misery over the fairest portions of the globe. Does God permit this - and is he righteous? Yes, shortsighted questioner of Omniscience, the Father of the universe is never more conspicuous in his paternal care, than when, by means of temporal afflictions, he draws our regards toward our heavenly country. - Then is death disarmed of the terrors which are planted round the bed of prosperity; then is the soul freed from that bondage of sensual de light, which impedes her spiritual exer tion. The no longer pampered body, subdued to spareness, braced by toil, elastic from exertion, and patient from habit, is not a clog, but a meet compa nion for its immortal associate. Prosperity, among many other evils, ens genders religious apathy, and luxurious selfishness. She presents a gorgeous stage, on which the puppets of vanity and petty ambition act their insignificant parts; adversity educates and exercises men.

Her exquisite beauty could not fail to attract attention but the scanty income of her father, and the prudence of Mrs. Mellicent, alike for bade that ir should be ostentatiously ex posed to the public eye. A few select friends were admitted as intimates, and only these knew that Dr. Beaumont had a superlatively lovely and enchanting daughter. She seldom appeared in public except at church, where her face was so shaded by her hood, that its attractions were rather guessed at than discovered. Thus this fair rose-bud expanded in the soil best suited to perfect its attractions, the sheltered vale of domestic privacy, where, unconscious of its super-eminence.

Download or read book Three Peoples One King written by Jim Piecuch and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the lives of Southern whites, Blacks, and Native Americans who stood with the British during the American Revolution. Challenging the traditional view that British efforts in the south were undermined by a lack of local support, Jim Piecuch demonstrates the breadth of loyal assistance provided by these three groups in South Carolina, Georgia, and East and West Florida. Piecuch shows that the Crown’s southern campaign failed due to the revolutionary force’s violent suppression of these Loyalists and Britain’s inability to capitalize on their support. Covering the period from 1775 to 1782, Piecuch surveys the roles of Loyalists, Indians, and slaves across the southernmost colonies to illustrate the investments each had in allying with the British and the high price they paid during and after the war. Piecuch investigates each group, making new discoveries in the histories of escaped or liberated slaves, of still-powerful Indian tribes, and of the bitter legacies of white loyalism. He then employs an integrated approach that advances our understanding of Britain’s long hold on the South and the hardships experienced by those groups who were in varying degrees abandoned by the Crown in defeat.
Download or read book Choosing Sides written by Ruma Chopra and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2013-06-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though scores of texts, films and stories have been told about the American Revolution from the perspectives of our Founding Fathers and their followers, comparatively little is known about those colonists who resisted the revolutionary movement, and tried desperately to preserve their nation’s ties to the British Empire. Choosing Sides: Loyalists in Revolutionary America shows us that America’s original colonies were not nearly as united behind the concept of forming free, independent states as our society’s collective memory would have us believe. There were, in fact, numerous colonists, slaves, and Native Americans who counted themselves among the Loyalists: those who never wanted to sever ties with the English crown and who viewed revolution as an unnatural and unlawful mistake. Too often overlooked, these men and women made valid and valuable arguments against the formation of the United States—both weighing the costs of revolution and the perilousness of existing without the Empire’s command— arguments that even hundreds of years into America’s existence were echoed and championed both within and beyond our borders. Colonists from commoners to clergymen had nuanced and complex reasons for wanting to remain under British control, and an awareness of these reasons and their origins paints a more historically accurate portrait of the American populous around the time of our country’s founding. This volume not only showcases Dr. Chopra’s comprehensive analysis of Loyalism and its arguments, but includes letters, legislation and even poems written by Loyalists during and after the Revolutionary War. Choosing Sides lays a detailed foundation of facts for its readers and provides them entry points to the debate surrounding the genesis of the United States. It is both a primary source and a touchstone for original interpretations and discussions.

This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reginald Trevor, or the Welsh Loyalists, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale of the Seventeenth Century Which many have fallen, but in which no one has hitherto succeeded. To this accusation I will plead guilty - to a cer tain extent, but no further; and this is my defence. When I first entertained the idea of writing these tales, I was well convinced that the best possible model was that of the Waverley novels, and I determined to adopt it. Had I confined myself to this particular, all would be well; but you tell me, that I have sedulously followed up the imita tion, by a close adherence, not merely to character, but to incident, situation, and language - in fine, to every thing. This I cannot acknowledge; nor can I perceive that the two most striking personages in the tale bear any resem blance to the masterly and unrivalled creations of the Great Unknown. Binion Edwards cannot, I think, claim fellowship, much less identity, with any of that author's personages; and Caddy of Cae Glas, of a surety, has no proto.
