Between Hell and Plum Island
SAMUEL SEWALL'S tribute to the natural beauty and religious significance of Plum Island and Newbury, Massachusetts, comes as a surprise in an otherwise pedantic tract devoted to New England's potential role in the millennium. A lone paragraph on the penultimate page of Phaenomena quaedam Apocalyptica, a prophetic exercise published in Boston in 1697, the passage appears out of place, a bit of bravado or, perhaps, selfindulgent nostalgia for the w…
Satanizing the American Indian
extent of discussion. Indians must have originally migrated from the Old World, for it was impossible to believe that they were not descendants of the first Adam by way of Noah and the Ark. Any other theory, suggesting a second creation, was promptly labeled heresy, and in the early years proponents suffered death for spreading it.' Scholars recently investigating the origins of the Indians have concluded that, all told, there have emerged over t…
Roger Williams and George Fox
)H how historians like to compare and contrast historical figures they have dug up! And if the persons themselves are not enough to make an argument, one can always disinter their ideas along with them. Although professors are fond of assigning this kind of exercise to their undergraduates, let us admit at the outset that there is some merit in the inquiry. For when the curious historian finds that a protagonist's ideas clash with those of a cont…
Plain Englishmen at Plymouth
ONE would think that everything there is to say about the Pilgrims at Plymouth has been said, and some of it more than once. Still, reading and re-reading well-known sources often stimulates different angles of vision or even comparative perspectives. It struck me recently while reading Robert Cushman's Sermon Preached at Plimmoth in New-England, December 9, 1621,' that several things he had to say to Plymouth's early settlers, John Winthrop repe…
Scholarly Reminiscenes
Shun Thy Father and All That
A CHIEF complaint against contemporary cults and fanatical brotherhoods is that they undermine family life and draw youngsters away from hearth and home. Methods used by some cultists in persuading recruits to accept their beliefs and practices lately have come under sharp criticism. A mother, recently cited in an English newspaper, claimed that in enveloping her daughter, a charismatic renewal group sealed her alienation from the family with a v…

American Painting in Early Nineteenth-Century Gift Books
A cursory examination of the gift books of the first half of the nineteenth century leads one to believe that these volumes expressed a contemporary interest in romantic writing of a most tender and sentimental kind. The titles themselves suggest the type of literature they contain-The Atlantic Souvenir, The Token, The Amaranthe, The Violet, The Token of Friendship, and The Snowflake, to name only a few. Published annually these volumes were pres…
Henry Marchant and the Mistress of the World
I N the years just prior to the Revolution, few American colonists, despite their stubborn resistance to creeping imperialism, would have refused an opportunity to visit London, the capital of the wicked empire and the first city of the world. Henry Marchant, Attorney General of Rhode Island, got his chance in I771. And although the principal reason for his extended visit was the business of the colony, he made the most of his eleven months at ho…

Rights Imply Equality
E QUALITY has become a fundamental principle of American democracy. Although we are frequently reminded that Americans fail to practice altogether what they preach, still, the concept of equality is as much a part of the democratic ideal as manhood suffrage and public education. But the Spirit of '76, although not aristocratic, was not egalitarian either. Despite Thomas Jefferson's eloquent declaration that all men are created equal, most America…

Equality and Empire The New York Charter of Libertyes, 1683
H _ > ISTORIANS of colonial America have given over a good deal of space to the course of events between the founding of the colonies and the American Revolution. Through them we have learned much about how colonies were settled and developed and how they were expected to fit the demands of the emerging British Empire. What historians have found difficult to determine is how American colonists felt about themselves as British subjects outside the…
