Book excerpt: Excerpt from Union of the Colonies I have the honor to inform you that it is the wish of the Canadian Govern-r ment to send a Delegation to attend the Conference which it is proposed to hold this year, of gentlemen representing respectively, Nova Scotia, New Bruns wick, and Prince Edward Island, with a view to the Union of those Provinces. The object of the Canadian Government is to ascertain whether the proposed Union may not be made to embrace the whole of the British North American Provinces. I shall feel much obliged if you will inform me of the time and place which have been fixed on for the meeting; and I trust the presence of a Canadian De legation will be agreeable to their brethren of the Maritime Provinces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Formation of the Union, 1750-1829 The second volume of the Epochs of American History aims to follow out the principles laid down for "The Colonies," - the study of causes rather than of events, the development of the American nation out of scattered and inharmonious colonies. The throwing off of English control, the growth out of narrow political conditions, the struggle against foreign domination, and the extension of popular government, are all parts of the uninterrupted process of the Formation of the Union. So mighty a development can be treated only in its elements in this small volume. Much matter is thrown into graphic form in the maps; the Suggestions for Readers and Teachers, and the bibliographies at the heads of the chapters are meant to lead to more detailed accounts, both of events and of social and economic conditions. Although the book includes three serious wars, there is no military history in it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Union of the Colonies of British North America: Being Three Papers Upon This Subject, Originally Published Between the Years 1854 and 1861 The dates appended to the several titles of the following papers indicate the time at which they were respectively published. They are the results of perhaps the most note worthy, and certainly the most public efforts which, ever since 1849, the author has, within what seemed not beyond the possible limits of his direct or indirect influence, persistently made, on every seemingly fitting occasion, to advance the great political scheme which these essays advocate. They were, at the respective times of their original publication, pretty generally circulated by the author himself among the more prominent statesmen and politicians of the North Amer ican Colonies, and, to a more limited extent, of england also. With these classes they so far met with favor as to be, each of them, republished in full in several of the British Amer ican political journals and other periodicals, and in part by several of those of the United Kingdom.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History, Greeley and the Union Colony of Colorado The present time appeared to me a favorable One for this work as many of the old landmarks are disappearing, and the data I found were beginning to be difficult to procure. The files of The Tribune were incomplete, nearly the whole of the first year being missing, while The Sun has no files previous to 1885. The deficiency above pointed out, is made good to a certain extent by the care of H. T. West who has collected in a Scrap Book a large number of news paper articles relating to the colony during the first three years. Mr. West has been kind enough to put this in my hands together with other valuable documents, some of which will be printed in full in the appendix.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Lectures on the History of the American Union The Union originating in the Providential Government of the World - Illus trations of Ancient and Modern History - European Colonization of America - Saxondom - The Northmen - Spanish and Portuguese Colonization - Bull of Alexander VI. - Tendency in English Colonies to local Self-government and local Independence - The American element - Cabot's Discoveries - Sir Humphrey G ilbert - Raleigh - The Fairy Queen and Virginia - French Colonial Policy - The Atlantic Settlements - The Creation Of the Materials for the Union. MY theme is the growth of the American Union during the colonial era of our history. In treating such a subject, it is my desire to say, in the first place, that I shall purposely forbear speaking of the Union as it now exists, with its manifold and countless blessings, its present estate, and its prospects. It is the retrospect which I intend to turn to; and in that retrospect there is abundance both of admonition and eu couragement for all after-time, much to inspire a thoughtful loyalty to the Union, and a deep sense of responsibility for each generation com ing to live within that Union and to transmit it unimpaired to posterity, such as it has grown to be, not by man's will or sagacity, but by the providential government of the world.

Download or read book The Union Colony at Greeley Colorado 1869 1871 Classic Reprint written by James Field Willard and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Union Colony at Greeley, Colorado, 1869-1871 With the present volume the University of Colorado begins the publication of documents and other material primarily relating to the history of Colorado. It is proposed to issue similar volumes at frequent intervals in the future. After the colony series is completed, other subjects falling within the period before Colorado became a state will be dealt with. In every instance an attempt will be made to publish all the pertinent historical documents that can be found and that are not easily accessible elsewhere. The treatment of the records of the Union Colony is in line with this general policy. As will be seen by reference to the list of documents, several classes of records are omitted from this volume. In the case of the newspapers a number of purely personal items have not been reprinted; from The Greeley Tribune only such articles have been selected as would seem to throw light upon the ideals or development of the colony. The spelling and punctuation of the writers of the records and of the printers in the case of the newspapers, have been reproduced as they were found. In one respect only has the editor departed from this practice. When the newspapers used larger or heavier type, not capitals, for the headings of their articles, these have been transformed to capitals in the text in order to insure uniformity of emphasis. All words and sentences in brackets have been supplied by the editor. Whenever a heading is followed by a numeral referring to a note below, it is the original heading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War for the Union The old south leaflets are prepared primarily for circulation among the attendants upon the Old South Lectures for Young People. The subjects of the Leaflets are immediately related to the subjects of the lectures, and they are intended to supplement the lectures and stimulate historical interest and inquiry among the young people. They are made up, for the most part, from original papers of the periods treated in the lectures, in the hope to make the men and the public life of the periods more clear and real. The Old South Lectures for Young People were instituted in the sum mer of 1883, as a means of promoting a more serious and intelligent atten tion to historical studies, especially studies in American history, among the young people of Boston. The success of the lectures has been so great as to warrant the hope that such courses may be permanently sustained in Boston and established with equal success in other cities of the country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Union of the British Provinces, 1864 The compilation of the following pages was commenced, during the past winter, at the request Of several gentlemen who have taken a deep interest in the question of a Confedera tion of the British American Colonies. The Conferences held in the Maritime Provinces and in Canada, in connection with that question, in the autumn of 1864, have excited a great deal of public attention in Great Britain and America; and it has been considered, that - notwithstanding the confidential man ner in which the proceedings of the Conferences were con ducted - there should be some connected account Of their meetings - of the tinies and places when and where they met and of some of the leading incidents connected with the great business entrusted to them. The most important of these incidents were the utterances of the Delegates on important public occasions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Union: A Story of the Great Rebellion This volume ends the series of Columbian Historical Novels, designed to give a complete history of the United States, in twelve complete stories, chronologically arranged. Throughout the series I have adhered to the original plan of making fiction subordinate to history, even at the expense of unity. I have been censured by some critics for deserting my fictitious characters in order to bring up the historical events by which they were surrounded, but as my design was to make the series beneficial as well as interesting, I have turned a deaf ear to all suggestions to sacrifice usefulness to smoothness. It is doubtful if the time has yet arrived to write a fair and impartial history of the war of the Rebellion, even as a historical romance. We are so prone to let prejudice warp judgment that we can hardly deal fairly with an opponent, even though that opponent be a brother.

Download or read book History of the Colony of New Haven Before and After the Union with Connecticut Classic Reprint written by Edward Rodolphus Lambert and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Colony of New Haven, Before and After the Union With Connecticut Authentic history is of high importance. It exhibits the jurisprudence, science, morals, and religion of nations, and while it warns to shun their errors, holds forth their virtues for imitation in bold relief. But where is the history more interesting and important than that of our own, "our much loved native land," that abounds in incidents more romantic, or narrative more thrilling? But a little more than two centuries have elapsed since the first band of the "Puritan Fathers" left their native home, crossed the wild Atlantic, landed on the snow-clad rock of Plymouth, and laid the first foundation stone of New England. Within this period a change has here taken place, and in our common country unparalleled in the history of mankind. A great and powerful nation has arisen. The desert has been made "to bud and blossom as the rose." And what but the sword of civil discord can arrest the giant march of improvement, (yet advancing with accelerating rapidity, ) till "the noblest empire in the reign of time shall extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific wave. In what has thus far been done in building up our republic, the "Old Colony of New Haven" has full well performed her part. She was one of the first that conceived, and that first practically exemplified the principle, that the will of the majority of the people shall govern: a principle which resulted in our national independence, which bids fair to sap the throne of despotism, and to regenerate the world. She furnished her "full quota of men and money," when the chariot of war was driven over the land, and nations were engaged in murderous strife. She has sent forth her proportion of emigrants to settle distant parts of our re public, and her sons may be found throughout the length and breadth of the land. To give a particular history of this colony, end to rescue many important and highly interesting facts connected with more general history, which have never before been given to the public, is the object of the following pages. Should it be thought by any, that things too minute are inserted, let such consider, that whatever is found on our early records relating to the settlement of the country is important to the historian, as it helps to a knowledge of the primitive character, and that many things which now appear of little value, may hereafter be deemed of much importance. In fact, every thing relating to the history of the colonization of New England is worthy of preservation. No trouble has been spared in collecting materials; every page of twenty folio volumes of Milford records have been carefully examined, as also the old colony records, the town and proprietors records of New Haven; and besides, the state records at Hartford, and the town records of Guilford, Branford, Stamford. and Southold, have been more or less read in reference to this object. For the account of Guilford, the author is principally indebted to the manuscript history of that town, written in 1769, by Mr. Thomas Ruggles. The author returns his grateful acknowledgments to those gentlemen who have assisted him in his researches, or in any way contributed information, and especially to William Lyon, Esq., and Mr. John W.Barber, of New Haven, for the loan of rare works and manuscripts.

This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Union, the Constitution, and Slavery The struggle in which this nation is engaged has already reached that stage in its progress when words of counsel may be offered, when principles may be discussed, when, if any man can throw light upon the questions at issue, or say or do aught to assuage the bitterness of feeling, and become the in strument of Peace, he is bound not to keep silent. For almost three years, the fierce passions, the mighty energies, the vast resources of the entire country, North and South, have been called into full play at what terrible cost, it is too soon yet to estimate. We do not suppose that the War 1s yet at an end; but we do believe that Reason is beginning to resume her throne. Men are beginning to ask, when is this awful sac rifice of the young best life of the country to cease What are the ends, for which the War is to be protracted P What are the difficulties, in the way of securing those ends In re Sponding to these inquiries, in the present Article, we shall write with entire frankness and while we utter only our own individual convictions, we shall do it in complete independence of all political parties, and, as far as may be, of all sectional prejudices.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Union-State: A Letter to Our States-Rights Friend The production of these pages originated in a brief correspondence with a citizen of one of the North-western States, who had, in a recent publication, presented an argument in defense of the States of the Southern Confederacy in asserting a right to secede from the Union. In our discussion, the historical question of the actual political status of the thirteen States, at the time when the Constitution was proposed for ratification by them, seemed, to each of us, the question which required to be settled at the outset, as between ourselves. This question - we were agreed - could be decided only by historical evidence from the record, as distinguished from any assumptions, or any arguments, as to the merits or demerits of imaginable systems of government. On looking up this record-evidence, for use in our private correspondence, it seemed to require more verbal citation and careful reference to the accredited sources of information than could well be arranged in the usually indifferent style of epistolary writing.
