Excerpt from Protestant Jesuitism
Itrvvill be observed, that these measures have always been based upon, and sustained by, two alarm and necessity. For the validity of these appeals the reader is respectfully commended -to that impress1on which the perusal of this volume may leave upon his mind. If, indeed, Christianity is as well estab lished in the World as the author has supposed, and attempted to show, thesealarms are ground less and/if his views of the design and adequacy of the primitive institutions of Christianity are correct, these other forms of operation are not only a diversion, and consequent subtraction of power, but they would ultimately prove an embarrassment and hinderance to the cause, even if they could have been preserved uncorrupt. They are vicious excrescences requiring~ excision.

About the Book
The Americas were settled by people migrating from Asia at the height of an Ice Age 15,000 years ago. There was no contact with Europeans until Vikings appeared briefly in the 10th century, and the voyages of Christopher Columbus from 1492. America's Indigenous peoples were the Paleo-Indians, who were initially hunter-gatherers. Post 1492, Spanish, Portuguese and later English, French and Dutch colonialists arrived, conquering and settling the discovered lands over three centuries, from the early 16th to the early 19th centuries. The United States achieved independence from England in 1776, while Brazil and the larger Hispanic American nations declared independence in the 19th century. Canada became a federal dominion in 1867.
Also in this Book
United States history began with the migrations of Indigenous people prior to 15,000 BC. Christopher Columbus's 1492 expedition enabled European colonization, with most colonies formed after 1600. By the 1770s, 13 British colonies held 2.5 million people along the Atlantic coast east of the Appalachians. The British government imposed new taxes after 1765 and would not agree to the colonists having a say in their determination. The American War of Independence, 1775–1783, ensued, resulting in independence, and another war was declared against Britain in 1812. The next 50 years saw the expansion of American states and territories through the west, however growth was curtailed by the costly American Civil War, which broke out in 1861 over the Confederate States' wish to continue the practice of slavery, and the Union's wish to preserve the union. By 1865 some 620,000 people died, making it the most costly in US history. Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867. The next decades up to World War 1 saw large migrations from Europe and massive growth in the US economy. The US had a short but decisive influence on World War 1, suffered during the Great Depression, and had an even greater decisive influence on the outcome of World War 2. The US then engaged in a Cold War with its military and ideological adversary, the USSR, which disintegrated in 1991. Over the 20th century the US was not just a dynamo of technological advancement, but also contributed greatly to world growth.

Calvin Colton was an American journalist, clergyman, and author. He served as pastor of churches in Le Roy and Batavia, rector of the Church of the Messiah and held the chair of Public Economy at Trinity College, Hartford from 1852 to 1857.
Background
George Colton was a member of a family of some distinction in colonial Massachusetts. Quartermaster George Colton had represented Springfield in the General Court (1677) and his son married the sister of Roger Wolcott, governor of Connecticut, 1750-1754. Captain Simon Colton, grandson of the Quartermaster and grandfather of Calvin Colton, served as an officer in the French and Indian War. Luther Colton (1756 - 1803) was a major in the American army during the Revolution. He married Thankful Woohvorth, and Calvin Colton, their son, was born on September 14, 1789 in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, United States.
Education
Colton prepared for college at Monson Academy and was graduated from Yale in 1812. Entering Andover Theological Seminary, he completed the three-year course in two years.
Career
Colton served as missionary in western New York and then held Presbyterian pastorates at LeRoy and Batavia. The death of his wife and the failure of his voice led him to give up the ministry. Later, having taken orders in the Episcopal Church (1836), he served for one year, 1837-1838, as rector of the Church of the Messiah in New York City.
His numerous religious writings, which include History and, Character of American Revivals of Religion (1832), Church and State in America (1834) and others, were of small value either as history or as theology. In 1831 he went to England where he remained four years as correspondent for the New York Observer. His descriptive narratives of travel are of much real value. He wrote a Manual for Emigrants to America (1832); The Americans (1833), a defense of his country against the criticisms of Captain Basil Hall and Mrs. Trollope; Tour of the American Lakes, and Among the Indians of the North-West Territory, in 1830 (1833), personal observations on aboriginal life accompanied by facts relative to the origins of the Indians, details of their wars, and of their treaties with Great Britain and the United States; and Pour Years in Great Britain (1835).
Next Colton played with political pamphleteering. He wrote much under the nom-de-plume “Junius, ” in support of Whig policies, and was editor of the True Whig in Washington, 1842-1843. Among his pamphlets, some of which appeared over his pseudonym “Junius, ” are; Abolition a Sedition (1839); Colonisation and Abolition Contrasted (1839) and a series of ten essays on public lands, the currency, the tariff, expansion, etc.
Summoned to Ashland, Kentucky, in 1844 he became the official biographer of Henry Clay, and editor of his works. The Private Correspondence of Henry Clay (1855), and The Works of Henry Clay (1856 - 1857) are still standard. His Life and Times of Henry Clay (1846), and The Last Seven Years of the Life of Henry Clay (1853) are superseded by later biographies. Already known as an advocate of protection, in 1848 he published a protectionist work, Public Economy for the United States. It was a strange mixture of views gained through earlier experiences—religious, editorial, and political—but was favorably received and resulted in the establishment of a chair of Public Economy at Trinity College, Hartford, which was offered to Colton and which he held from 1852 until his death. Here his main endeavor was to “give form to” the various phases of the protective system.
In A Lecture on the Railroad to the Pacific (1850), delivered at the Smithsonian Institution, August 12, 1850, he advocated a transcontinental railroad on the religious ground that through it the human family, dispersed at the Tower of Babel, might be reunited.
Achievements
Calvin Coton became the prolific writer on subjects from revivals to church politics, from immigration to territorial expansion. He was noted especially for his biographical sketches of Henry Clay and for promoting the Whig cause in his writings.
