Book excerpt: Excerpt from Welcome to Goldwin Smith, Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford, England Herbert said religion was on tiptoe to pass from England to America; but we would not have it literally true, even with respect to a religious love of liberty. Our friend will tell this to Englishmen, and tell them, too, that we mean to be worthy of our sires. He sees us here, to-day, animated with this resolve but, I must remind him that he sees a rem nant only: as was once said to me in a beautiful New England village Ah, sir! The best of us are under ground. We hope to labour as we can for a country which has been preserved to us by so much of the best blood of the Nation; but, we must never forget that they are the nobler and truer Americans who have gone into the field, under a solemn sense of duty, and devoted their young lives and all that men hold dear on earth, in behalf of liberty, in support of law, and for the good of the human race.
