Book Description
Excerpt from History of Providence County, Rhode Island, Vol. 1 of 2 And it is no matter of wonder to the editor of this work that he should have found some traces of prejudice against him in his work of reviewing the history of this locality on account of his not being identified with it by native or residuary interests. The fact that he has found so little of this prejudice, is to him but additional evidence of the liberality of sentiment which has grown up from the planting of Roger Williams. It has been said that the true soul of Providence history could not be faithfully portrayed by a historian not identified with it by personal ties. We believe the candid mind will recognize in this volume the refutation of such an assertion. We do not mean that our work 18 without defects. We only claim that it is a no less faithful representation than could have been expected even from a son of the soil. In common with all historic efforts it has its defects, all of which we freely submit to the gracious consideration of the candid critic.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Vol. 2 Great men and their deeds and great facts of history are liable to lie bedded in the soil of forgetfulness until some resurrective force raises men and facts to the light and life of honest and honorable recognition. Such century plants survive ordinary human achievement and in time find their permanent place in the orders of social and civil life. These principles apply to the Royal Charter of 1663 and its author and procurer, Dr. John Clarke of Aquidneck. The charter of Rhode Island of 1663 has been universally recognized as the most liberal state paper ever issued by the English Crown. It is remarkable in several particulars, one of which is that it is a confirmation of the Declaration of Breda. The manifesto issued from Breda, in the Netherlands, April, 1660, by Charles the Second, in view of his assuming the English throne. In it he proclaimed a general amnesty for political enemies and offenders and an assurance of religious freedom for all the people of the realm. We do declare a Liberty to tender consciences: and that no Man shall be disquieted, or called in question, for differences of opinion in matters of religion which do not disturb the peace of the kingdom; and that we shall be ready to consent to such an act of Parliament, as, upon mature deliberation, shall be offered to us, for the full granting that indulgence. Still further it gives Royal sanction to the foundation principles of the Aquidneck towns. Yet more, its inner meanings, its scope and its historic references establish the authorship in Dr. John Clarke of Rhode Island Colony. Of all the acts of his distinguished career, the authorship and procuring the Royal Charter are the greatest. I have in mind to show that the principles of civil and religious liberty as set forth in the democratic constitutions of the several States of our Republic and in the constitution of the United States, were clearly enunciated, set forth and solemnly enacted in the Royal Charter, given to the colony of Rhode Island by King Charles the Second, July 8, 1663.
