History of the Anabaptists in Switzerland. E-book. Formato PDF Henry Sweetser Burrage   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  -

The Swiss Anabaptists had a part, however in the great movement, which, as Dorner says,1 extended through all Germany; from Swabia and Switzerland, along the Rhine to Holland and Friesland; from Bavaria, Middle Ger many, Westphalia, and Saxony, as far as Holstein and though they were apparently defeated, the story of their heroic sufferings should be faithfully recorded.

The Beginnings of Colonial Maine, 1602-1658. E-book. Formato PDF Henry Sweetser Burrage   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  -

To the earlier part of these beginnings, neither Sullivan in his History of the District of Maine nor Williamson in his History of the State of Maine devoted much space. When they wrote, the known and accessible sources of information concern ing those earlier undertakings were exceedingly scanty. Careful research, however, especially in the last half century, has brought to light valuable original materials for the history of that earlier period, and the discovery of these materials has greatly enlarged our knowledge with reference both to facts and persons.
