Book Description
Excerpt from The Magazine of American History, 1883, Vol. 9: With Notes and Queries As you enter beneath the bold vaulted roof memories come thronging fast. Here was the first voice raised in the Western World in the cause of human freedom here the great Dominican Montesinos made the first denunciation of human slavery, and began the work so bravely carried on by Las Casas. Thus we may feel proud of Montesinos, for he reared the first Christian altar in our land, on the banks of the James, fourscore years before the English began a settlement in honor of the son of Mary Stuart.
