Excerpt from Lineage and History of William Blackstone: First Settler of Boston, and of His Descendants, From His Birth-1595, to the Close of the Revolution-1788, With a Continuation in the Line of Stephen Foot Black-Stone, Great, Great, Grandson of William, Down to This DateThe real burden of biography is to lav bare character. The words, writings, deeds and the human relations of the person are the working tools of the biographer. Daggett has been indus trions in equipping himself.Let the reader then content himself, if the facts as given by Mr. Daggett shall show William Blackstone rather than Roger Williams to be the true prototype of religious freedom in America. Aside from all other things there is apparent, such an earnest spirit of sympathy in Mr. Daggett's work, that we are carried happily along with him though historical Vistas are sometimes interrupted, and staid Clio sometimes retires behind the wings, while smiling Thalia trips before the footlights to beguile the listener with romantic fancies and rose tinted legends.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
