Excerpt from Philipse Manor Hall at Yonkers, N. Y: The Site, the Building and Its Occupants"Out of monuments, names, wordes, proverbs, traditions, private recordes, fragments of stories, passages of books, and the like, we doe save and recover somewhat from the deluge of time." - Lord Bacon in the Advance of Learning."A people without memories and memorials can have no true national life, because it would become entirely absorbed in the sordid and material interests belonging wholly to the present time. A reverent attitude in respect to the Past, the epoch-marking periods of our history, and the care of their relics and memorials are not, as is so often charged, mere matters of sentiment. They spring from a sense of duty and of public need which is justified by every principle of civic virtue. In one sense, patriotism is a sentiment; but when called into action, it exhibits itself in deeds of practical significance and results." - William Allen Butler, LL.D., Dec. 21, 1900."Scenic and Historic Places and Objects teach patriotism and nourish moral sentiments, while-they care also in some measure for the aesthetic nature. When once established, these famous places become unsalaried teachers. They never die, never ask to be retired on pensions, and their voices grow stronger and more convincing with increased age." Rev. Henry M. MacCracken, D.D., LL.D., Chancellor of New York University, April 6, 1901.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
