Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official Virginia: A Composition of Sketches of the Public Men of Virginia at the Present Time About thirty years ago, it was the good fortune of this writer to be employed in the capacity of a confidential clerk by a gentleman whose ability was recognized all over the State. He had a head two stories and a half high, with a large attic on top, and was possessed of a master mind very little short of the first order of greatness. This man began life a very poor boy, and yet by dint of energy and intellect long before the war, had risen to eminence as well as competency. When the clouds of war were gathering in 1860 and Virginia was alarmed like all her other sister Southern states as to the outcome of Mr. Lincoln's election, he was chosen a member of a convention which will go down in history as the Secession Convention. In that body he ranked with such intellectual giants as Barbour, Baldwin, Alexander, H. H. Stuart, and others. He was a Union man when he went to the Convention and so remained until Mr. Lincoln issued his proclamation calling on Virginia to furnish her quota of troops to coerce her sister Southern states. Like every other Union man from the South, he then cast his lot with his section. When the war ended and his State was beneath the heel of the carpet-bagger and the scalawag, Virginia, in order to come back into the Union on a constitutional basis, selected this gentleman, Mr. Stuart, Mr. Barbour and Mr. Baldwin to visit Washington and interview President Grant in order to obtain his consent for Virginia to resume her rightful place once more in the Union. They succeeded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia First The name First given to the territory occupied by the present United States was Virginia. It was bestowed upon the Country by Elizabeth, greatest of English queens. The United States of America are mere words of description. They are not a name. The rightful and historic name of this great Republic is "Virginia." We must get back to it, if the Country's name is to have any real significance. II. Virginia was the First colony of Great Britain, and her successful settlement furnished the inspiration to English colonization everywhere. For it was the wise Lord Bacon who said that, "As in the arts and sciences the 'first invention' is of more consequence than all the improvements afterwards, so in kingdoms or plantations, the first foundation or plantation is of more dignity than all that followeth." III. On May 13, 1607, the pioneers brought over by the Sarah Constant, the Good Speed, and the Discovery arrived at Jamestown on James River, and Founded the Republic of the United States based on English conceptions of Justice and Liberty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Original Colony of Virginia: A Series of Sketches by Especially Qualified Writers His book is issued in response to a recognized need and an ex pressed demand. These papers appeared originally as articles in the Southern Churchman, and from the beginning of their publication elicited a wide interest; hence, it was considered wise to preserve them in com pact and permanent form. The object of this book is two-fold: First, to show that this Church is no intruder in this land, but was the first religious body to claim possession of the English Colonial Possessions for Christ and Holy Church; that the very first settlers in these Colonies were Church men, intent on the spread of the Church and the preaching of the Gospel; and that before any other body of Christians had located in the territory of the English Colonies the Church had taken formal and permanent possession. Second: To show that this possession was not an ephemeral or spoa radic act, but that it was continuous and permanent; that where the Colonists first landed, there the ministrations of the Church were begun, and there permanent church buildings were erected; that these ministrations have continued unbroken to the present day; and that permanent and handsome structures marked the progress of Colonial growth, and remain to-day as monuments to the piety and churchly character of the American forefathers. Incidentally, this book will show the amazing effect which Church men had on the founding of the Colonies, and the tremendous part they played in the upbuilding and development of the nation and the formation of national ideals and character.
