| | 221 | Author: | unknown | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | History of Virginia  | | | | Published: | 2006 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | William Hodges Mann, soldier, farmer, lawyer
and banker, has held many places of public trust, and
the State of Virginia will always appreciate the services
he rendered as a member of the State Senate
and from 1910 to 1914 as governor of the commonwealth. "I have rec'd your letter of the 15th and regret
the necessity that withdraws you from the field.
You may recollect the opinion I expressed to you
when you first proposed entering the service, viz.,
that I was not sure but that you were doing more
service in your then position than you could do
in the field, and that unless you could make arrangements
for the favourable prosecution of your operations
(at the Tredegar Iron Works), I could not
recommend the exchange. With the same impression
and belief, as you say you cannot make such
arrangements, I have forw'd your resignation and
recommended its acceptance. [From The Richmond Times, January 24, 1892.] | | | Similar Items: | Find |

1853-1922 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Old Dominion | | | | Published: | 2006 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | TO comprehend truly the achievement of
the settlement of Jamestown and what it
has signified to the world, and still signifies today,
if we but knew it, it is necessary to go back
among the forces that were at work in Western
Europe during the time when the Dark Ages
were giving way to the light of the New Learning.
Many forces combined to produce the results,
working with that patience which characterizes
the laws of Nature. The energies of
men had been engrossed by the exactions of
war, and of a civilization based on war. The
mind of man had been for ages monopolized
by war militant or spiritual. Person and intellect
alike lay under rule. Then gradually, after
long lethargy, men began to think. Historians
wrote; poets sang; statesmen planned; scientists
experimented. The mariner's compass, whether
brought by Marco Polo from the East, or invented
by the Neapolitan, Flavio Gioja, or by
some one else, came into use in Europe: other
nautical instruments were invented or improved.
Gunpowder was invented and gradually changed
the methods of war. The New Learning began
to sweep over Europe. The Art of printing
from movable types was invented. The ice was
broken up and the stream, long dammed, began
to flow. The Reformation came and men burst
the chains which had bound them. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
