Book Description
Excerpt from Annals of Our Colonial Ancestors and Their Descendants, or Our Quaker Forefathers and Their Posterity: Who, Where, When, and What Have They Been? And What Have They Done or Undergone That Might Be of Interest to Their Relatives in Time to Come? E who cares nothing about his ancestors will rarely achieve anything worthy of being remembered by his descendants. Uring up the memorials of the fathers. We best manifest 'our regard for posterity. - Rev. Abner Morse, A. M. When we see, says Gibbon, a long list of ancestors so ancient that they have no beginning, so worthy that they ought to have no end, we feel an interest in all their fortunes, nor can we blame the generous enthusiasm or harmless vanity of those who are allied to the honors of the name. Another writer says: N o virtuously disposed mind can look back upon a long line of truly venerable ancestors without feeling his motive to a virtuous life strengthened. He can scarcely help feeling that it is not for him to be the first to bring disgrace upon his lineage. It will, moreover, lead him to re ect that his posterity also will be looking back and comparing his life with that of his progenitors. Familiar to the reader may be the thought, if not the language, of the question and answer: Does blood it ll? Not in that narrow sense in which the blue blood of royalty has been quoted to sustain the divine right of kings, but in the broad philosophical sense which seeks for each result a cause. Can a stream rise higher than its fountain? And, if the source be muddy, will not the stream be, to a certain extent, impure also? We know that in the career of nations, races and civilizations, history constantly repeats itself. Does it not also repeat itself in families, in the reproduction of certain well-marked traits, characteristics and capacities, even to the remotest gen orations? Is there not, therefore, a philosophical reason for the existence in the human mind of a certain pride in and respect for honorable ancestry entirely apart from and independent of the merely adventitious circumstances of rank and fortune? We have been taught that pride of birth is a sign of weakness and folly, and I grant, with truth, if it be founded upon mere outward distinctions; but I believe there is in every soul an inborn feeling of respect for the memory of one's ancestors. This is by the Chinese exaggerated into worship, and in many European countries is little less. As Americans, we have gone to the opposite extreme, and attempted, in our boasted equality, to make every person look upon his own ancestors in exactly the same light as another's; which is no more natural or possible than for us to look upon other people's brothers and sisters as we do upon our own; nor does the fact that we do not and can not, detract aught from their worth. While, therefore, we concede to all an equal weight in the broad scale of humanity, we cannot be blind, either to those real differences that exist, or to those ideal ones which are no less natural; and we may, without shame, confess to that pride of birth which, being both natural and reasonable, is rather to be commended than rebuked, and which I, for one, will never disown.
