Présentation de l'éditeur
In preparing the following sketch of Roger Williams, the writer has consulted nearly all the works of New England history, from which materials might be derived for the illustration of his life and character. He is, however, by far the most indebted to the elaborate Memoir, prepared by the late Mr. Knowles, a work of great fulness and accuracy of information respectmg not only the immediate subject to which it relates, but also the general affairs of New England in that early age. This work, which probably contains all that can now be known concerning the Hfe of the calumniated founder of Rhode I sland, renders the task of a subsequent biographer comparatively easy. The narrative of Mr. Knowles has been generally compared with the original authorities on which he relies, and in all cases his statements have been found to be correct.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating glimpse into the life and tumultuous times of Roger Williams, a prominent figure in the early history of America. The author meticulously delves into Williams's journey, from his upbringing in Wales to his eventual exile from Massachusetts and the founding of the colony of Rhode Island. The book examines Williams's unwavering belief in religious freedom, a principle that set him apart from his Puritan contemporaries who sought to create a theocratic society. Williamsââ â¢s struggles against the prevailing intolerance of the era are highlighted, and the book explores the tension between his vision of individual conscience and the political realities of a fledgling nation. Through Williamsââ â¢s story, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the formative years of colonial America, revealing the complexities of religious and political ideals in a society grappling with its own identity. The author's thorough research and engaging narrative make this book an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the origins of religious liberty in America.
