A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Old South Leaflets are prepared primarily for circulation among the attendants upon the Old South Lectures for Young People. The subjects of the Leaflets are immediately related to the subjects of the lectures, and they are intended to supplement the lectures and stimulate historical interest and inquiry among the young people. They are made up, for the most part, from original papers of the periods treated in the lectures, in the hope to make the men and the public life of the periods more clear and real. The Old South Lectures for Young People were instituted in the summer of 1883, as a means of promoting a more serious and intelligent attention to historical studies, especially studies in American history, among the young people of Boston. The success of the lectures has been so great as to warrant the hope that such courses may be permanently sustained in Boston and established with equal success in other cities of the country. The Old South Lectures for 1883, intended to be strictly upon subjects in early Massachusetts History, but by certain necessities somewhat modified, were as follows: Governor Bradford and Governor Winthrop, by Edwin D. Mead. Plymouth, by Mrs. A. M. Diaz. Concord, by Frank B. Sanborn. The Town-M eeting, by Prof. James K. HosMER. Franklin, the Boston Boy, by George M. Towle. How to Study American History, by Prof. G. Stanley Hall. The Year m7i by John Fiske. History in the Boston Streets, by Edward Everett Hale. The Leaflets prepared in connection with these lectures consisted of (i) Cotton Mather saccount of Governor Bradford, from the Magnalia; (2) the account of the arrival of the Pilgrims at Cape Cod, from Bradford s Journal; (3) an extract from Emerson s Concord Address in 1835; (4) extracts from Emerson, Samuel A dams, De Tocqueville and others, upon the Town-M eeting; (5) a portion of Franklin s Autobiography; (6) Carlyle
