December 28, 1918 issue

This article presents information on the book "The Pilgrims and Their History," by Roland G. Usher. It is suggested that Usher's account of the Pilgrims is to be considered rather as the "fifth of a series of related monographs," than as the real history of a community of human beings with ordinarily sensitive souls. Usher tells what has been recovered from the writings of a few persons in and out of the Pilgrim Company; but apparently carefully excludes from court any evidence that might militate against the theory that the American Commonwealth is an essentially Anglo-Saxon nation. His chief object seems to be to keep constantly in view the legend of unmixed English culture in the formation of the American people.
