Book Description
Excerpt from A Discourse of Virginia The application for a copy of this manuscript, which I at once formed the purpose of making, was delayed until within a few months when one was promptly pro cured for me through my friend, Mr. H. G. Somerby, of London, who, in a note respecting the original, thus writes: The journal fills about twenty pages of fools cap paper, and is closely written. Mr. Anderson is wrong in stating that it is marked 'anonymous' in the catalogue. That word refers to another manuscript.

Book Description
Excerpt from A True Discourse of the Present State of Virginia These boys would certainly have gone to Merchant Tay lors' School, where Edmund Spenser preceded them a gen cration earlier. It seems that Ralph went on to Oxford for a short spell, for a Ralph Hamor of London was admitted to Brasenose College in 1605, matriculated in 1606 at the age of seventeen and left without taking a degree. But the Latinized prose of the True Discourse is that of an educated man and I feel sure that this Ralph Hamor is our man. He refers to himself in the tract, written in 1614, as young in years and knowledge, and this would make him the not im probable age of twenty-five at that time.

Excerpt from Sketches of Virginia: Historical and Biographical I heard the melancholy event Sabbath, just as I was going into the court-house to preach. It' made such an impression on my mind that I could not resist the impulse to lay aside the text on which I intended to preach, and to deliver an extempore discourse, from Isaiah 40th, and 6th, And the voice said, Cry. And he said, what shall I cry? All flesh is grass.' Happy would it be for us could we constantly realize this, and live as if every year and every day were to be our last. Again, on the 17th, to the same You will be surprised to hear that Mr. Lyle and I expect to have the pleasure of taking breakfast with y6u next Tuesday morning, on our way to Richmond. Some of my friends there have so earnestly solicited me to go down since the late awful visitation of Providence on that place, that I had not the heart to refuse, I am most anxious that so much distress should not be suffered in vain. If my friends there think that thy poor labors will probably be useful 1n this way, ought I not to go at their call, and depend on the promised aid of the Spirit? I will mention to you in confidence, that the people of Richmond, who had applied to me to remove to that place, persevere in their application, and are resolved to carry their request to Presbytery and I have informed them that, if the Presbytery should advise my removal, that I will 0.

Excerpt from A Discourse on the Dangers That Threaten the Free Institutions of the United States, Being an Address to the Literary Societies of Hampden Sidney College, Virginia Gentlemen: The name of your Association naturally suggested to me, that in preparing to discharge the task to which you have been pleased to call me, it would become me to select some topic connected with the Happiness of Mankind. The field, indeed, is broad: for what dity that man owes to his Maker, to the human race, to his country to society, or to himself, can I inculcate, without exhorting to that which makes for his happiness? But, fortunately for you, gentlemen, on most of these subjects Tam forestalled. On the most important among them, on the claims of Religion and the duties of Morality, you are daily instructed by those who address you in the name and by the authority of God himself. And were not this so, and were it not a profanation that I should take that holiest of names on unclean lips, I should still be restrained by the reminiscences connected with this spot.
