Book Synopsis The History of Bristol, R. I: The Story of the Mount Hope Lands, from the Visit of the Northmen to the Present Time (Classic Reprint) by : Wilfred H. Munro
Download or read book The History of Bristol, R. I: The Story of the Mount Hope Lands, from the Visit of the Northmen to the Present Time (Classic Reprint) written by Wilfred H. Munro and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Bristol, R. I: The Story of the Mount Hope Lands, From the Visit of the Northmen to the Present Time Whether I shall do anything worth while, from the very be ginning oi the city, I write a history of the Roman people, I neither know very well, nor if I knew would I dare to say. So wrote the his; torian Livy, as he sat at the window of his study and looked out upon the splendid imperial city, rich with the conquests of many hundreds of years. Whether I do anything worth while in writing the history of the town of Bristol, is not the thought which has troubled me, for every contribution to the history of a town or state has a definite and specific value. From their varied threads the future historian shall some day weave into graphic pages a faithful narrative of the progress of Amer ican civilization. Whether I am doing it in a worthy way - has been the troublesome question that could never be satisfactorily answered. For Bristol has a history peculiarly and strangely interesting to every thoughtful man. Very few towns in the whole country can furnish so many themes upon which the pen of the historian delights to linger. In writing a local history two methods naturally present themselves for the choice of him who takes the task in hand. One is, to make it simply and only a local history; to give an epitome of all the legislation of the town; to perpetuate and eulogize upon its pages the names of all those who have taken a part that has raised them, in even the slightest degree, above the general level of their fellows; to give extended lists of those who have been its professional men, its merchants, its artisans and its seamen; and to make mention of the houses in which these men were born, and lived, and died. Such is the plan which has been often adopted. It may answer in the case of many towns whose part in the his tory of their state has been light and comparatively unimportant. It would not be worthy of the career of this town. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
