Excerpt from Capt. Francis Champernowne, the Dutch Conquest of Acadie: And Other Historical Papers
First of all, he was indefatigable and thorough in re search, even to the minutest details. But, what is Of the highest importance, he estimated facts in their proper relation and due proportion. TO this it is to be added that he was singularly free from the bias of place, Of party, and Of early education. He had in a rare degree the judicial faculty as applied to historical events and charac ters. Having reached his conclusions, he was fearless in expression, - fearing nothing save the danger Of falling into error.
Born and bred in New England, and a life-long stu dent Of her history, he was proud Of the stock from which he grew, a stock having its root in the civilization Of Old England, - the men and the women who colonized this northern Wilderness, and, under extraordinary hazards and difficulties, laid the foundations for prosperous common wealths Of self-governing peoples. A history Of New England colonization and Of New England affairs in the seventeenth century was suited to his trained faculties and large information. Had he accomplished this, as he de signed, the result could not have failed to be valuable.
