Description
Excerpt from The Life and Work of Thomas Dudley: The Second Governor of Massachusetts
Tms Life of Governor Thomas Dudley has been written, especially so far as it pertains to Massachusetts, upon the authority of the public records, while the earlier portion, describing his career in England, has been produced chie?y from the literature which appeared immediately after his time.
We have not overlooked those writers who, during more than two centuries, have recorded with great unanimity their Opinions respecting the bigotry of Dudley.
We indulge the hope that the thoughtful reader will con elude with us that an injustice has been done to the memory of an excellent man, who cordially welcomed truth from every source.
Dean Stanley has truly said, Every one is familiar with the reversal of popular judgments respecting individuals or events Of our own time. It would be an easy, though per haps an invidious task, to point out the changes from oblo quy to applause.
