Excerpt from John Harvard's Life in America, or Social and Political Life in New England in 1637-1638I have dwelt at some length upon the Charlestown committee for the reason that it is the only recorded event which brings us in touch with Harvard's relations to his fellow-townsmen. Moreover, it is important in showing his estimate of the rights of his fellow-citizens. They were entitled to have a settled government. They were entitled to have a fixed set of laws. They were entitled to be protected from the caprice of the magistrates.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
