Excerpt from Romantic Days in Old Boston: The Story of the City and of Its People During the Nineteenth CenturyYet other high notes, also, were struck in the nineteenth century, notes upon which we of the twentieth century may well work out a life-symphony. The equality of woman, about which Margaret Fuller wrote an epoch-making book and for which Phillips all his life contended, we have yet to realize, and the fulfilment in some measure of that sweetest dream ever dreamed in America, the Brook Farm experi ment, of which Hawthorne said towards the end of his life that posterity may dig it up and profit by it, remains. Yes! To us, also, are given wrongs to right and shackles to strike from the wrists of slaves. It is my hope, then, that this book, by recalling freshly the heroes of the nineteenth century, may help to hearten heroes for the twentieth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
