Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Jedidiah Morse, D.D No small embarrassment has been experienced in the preparation of this Memoir, partly from a difficulty of selecting from the multiforrn labors of Dr. Morse those which are most worthy of an enduring record. And partly from the irrrmcnse mass of material out of which such a record was to be formed. So numerous and intimate were his relations with passing events, that his life might have easily been made the germ of the general history of his time; brrt as nothing so extensive as that was contem plated, it has only remained to select those facts' and experiences in his life which have proved of the greatest interest, introducing only so much of the history of the period as was necessary to illustrate their connections. SO rich and varied and extensive was his correspondence, that several selections of letters might have been made, shedding light upon the principal events of his life, that would have been scarcely inferior, in point of interest, to those which are scattered through this volume.

Rebuilding the Christian Commonwealth
Author: John A. AndrewIII
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813189403
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
The foreign missionary movement of the early 19th century grew out of the efforts of churches in New England to deal with the changes then taking place in society. The erosion of traditional institutional structures and social values plus the rise of Unitarianism threatened the destruction of the traditional faith. Mr. Andrew holds that the Congregational clergy used foreign missions not only to implant New England culture in heathen lands but also to awaken a sense of community at home.

Representing the Republic
Author: John R. Short
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 9781861890863
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Representing the Republic provides an intriguing account of the mapping of America from its colonial origins to 1900. The most significant maps and mapmakers are discussed in a survey that begins with the first European mappings of New Netherlands in the early seventeenth century and concludes with the Rand McNally atlases of the 1890s. Maps tell us a great deal about the transformation of America's national identity. Having undertaken extensive research in map collections, including work with rare archival materials, prominent geographer John Rennie Short provides an account of how maps have both embodied and reflected power, conflict and territorial expansion over time, opening a new perspective on North American history and geography.
