Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Margaret Fuller Ossoli, Chapter 12: books published. (search)
n a young person, is apt to be an omnivorous passion for books, followed, sooner or later, by the desire to produce something; this desire often taking experimental and fugitive forms. The study of Sir James MacKINTOSHintosh's life and Works, at Groton, seems to have impressed Margaret Fuller strongly with the danger of miscellaneous and desultory preparation. She writes:-- The copiousness of Sir J. Mackintosh's reading journals is, I think, intimately connected with his literary indolencout nor write down the reflections suggested by what the day had brought; they would be transfused into new works. Fuller Mss. II. 275. Later, she had a vision of writing romances, like George Sand, and expressed herself thus in her diary:-- Groton, November, 1835. These books have made me for the first time think I might write into such shapes what I know of human nature. I have always thought that I would not, that I would keep all that behind the curtain, that I would not write, like

From the above it will be seen that all of our mayors have been New England men, and that of the entire number sixteen were born in Massachusetts. Two of the number were born in Cambridge, and five were Boston boys. Sixteen were born under town-meeting rule, and received their first impressions of community government in that way, while the six who were born under municipal charter government were familiar in early life only with the simple workings of Massachusetts cities i

ue with God. I left the hall accordingly, and would have left the building The ladies thought he had done so ( Right and Wrong, 1836, [1] p. 31). if the staircase had not been crowded to excess. This being impracticable, I retired into the Anti-Slavery Office, (which is separated from the hall by a board partition), accompanied by my friend Mr. Charles C. Burleigh. Besides Mr. Burleigh and Mr. Garrison, the only gentlemen present were Mr. Henry G. Chapman and Dr. Amos Farnsworth, of Groton. The two latter retired from the hall with the expelled ladies. It was deemed prudent to lock the door, to prevent the mob from rushing in and destroying our publications. I immediately sat down, and wrote to a friend in Providence a description of the incidents of the day as they were transpiring (W. L. G., 20th Anniversary, p. 25. So Mr. Burleigh, in Lib. 5.171). In the meantime, the crowd in the street had augmented from a hundred to thousands. The cry was for Thompson! Thompson!

le reply to Miss Beecher was published in thirteen successive letters in the Liberator (7.102, 106, 111, 119, 122, 126, 130, 139, 147, 155, 159, 167, 179), and afterwards in pamphlet form. The eleventh is mainly concerned with the woman question. Sarah Grimke continued the discussion in a series of letters, on the province of woman, addressed to Mary S. Parker, and intended for publication in the New England Spectator (Lib. 8.4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28). In a letter to H. C. Wright, from Groton, Mass., Aug. 12, 1837, Sarah says: The Lord . . . has very unexpectedly made us the means of bringing up the discussion of the question of woman's preaching, and all we have to do is to do our duty. . . . I cannot consent to make my Quakerism an excuse for my exercising the rights and performing the duties of a rational and responsible being. . . . All I claim is as woman, and for any woman whom God qualifies and commands to preach his blessed gospel. I claim the Bible, not Quakerism, as my sa

tunity for fresh defamation of Garrison abroad. The year 1840 was, in a fermenting period, distinguished for the number of conventions, of every species, looking to the amelioration of human society. One, which made much stir, was held at Groton, Mass., Lib. 10.127, 135. on August 12 (while Mr. Garrison was on the water), being called by the friends of Christian Union, who inquired: Is the outward organization of the Church a human or a divine institution?

Bradford through. What Bradford's History is to Plymouth, John Winthrop's journal is to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The author, more than any other man, was the founder of the colony. He was an earnest Puritan, a supporter of the ideas of Hampden and Pym, and by natural ability he was a leader of men. He left Cambridge before graduation, married at seventeen, became a justice of the peace at eighteen, and was soon a man of note in his shire, Suffolk, where he was lord of the manor of Groton. In 1630 he gave up all this, as well as a lucrative position as attorney in the Court of Wards, and threw in his lot with the men who were to settle Massachusetts. He was the colony's first governor, and through annual re-elections served it for twelve years, finally dying in office in 1649. Rev. John Cotton described him as a governour . . . who has been to us as a brother, not usurping authority over the church; often speaking his advice, and often contradicted, even by young men, a
