Excerpt from The Pilgrim Fathers in Holland: Their Condition, and Their Relation to and Treatment by the Authorities and the People, With Special Reference to the Proposed Monument at Delfshaven The Connecticut Congregational Club, in an elaborate report through the chairman1 Of the committee to consider the project, say that The Delfshaven monument postulates an historic error. The Congregationalist Of November 6, 1890, by the hand Of a great authority in New England colonial history, - the late Rev. Henry M. Dexter, D.D., LL.D., - declares: We have no money to waste upon any monument, whether at Delfshaven or elsewhere, in com memoration of a fancy which is in the face Of history. The Rev. Daniel Van Pelt, in The Christian Intelligencer of January 28, 1891, intimates that Dr. Dexter should have taken to the scheme with peculiar kindliness. But love for the Pilgrims or any race Of heroes never historically blinds the true scholar in his researches after light upon disputed points in their lives or in the transactions Of a nation. The most useful members of our historical societies are those rare spirits who are ready, if needs be, on behalf of accuracy to declare against their own inclinations. Such men represent the historic spirit in its highest embodiment. The Netherlands afforded a shelter from persecution to vari ous sects when, in 1608, the Scrooby Independents, under Rev. John Robinson, left England for Amsterdam. For political and commercial as well as religious reasons the Dutch government gladly received sturdy, industrious, law-abiding communities, and Protestant in faith, as desirable accessions to the population. When therefore the Pilgrims at Amsterdam, in 1609, applied to the municipal authorities Of Leyden for permission to settle in that city, for the purpose Of carry ing on their trades, without being a burden in the least to any one, their reply was as follows: The court, in making a disposition of this present memorial, declare that they refuse no honest persons free ingress to come and have their resi dence in this city, provided that such persons behave them selves and submit to the laws and ordinances; and therefore the coming of the memorialists will be agreeable and welcome.

William C. Winslow was born on January 13, 1840, in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of the Rev. Hubbard Winslow, a Congregationalist clergyman, and Susan Ward Cutler.
After preparation at the Boston Latin School, he entered Hamilton College, Clinton, New York, and was graduated in 1862. His theological education he obtained at the General Seminary in New York between 1862 and 1865.
On July 2 of the latter year he was ordained deacon and on May 3, 1867, priest, by Bishop Horatio Potter of New York. Shortly after his ordination he spent several months in Italy studying archaeology and ancient sculpture. Upon his return he assumed the rectorship of St. George's Church, Lee, Massachusetts. This position, which was his only full rectorship, he filled from 1867 to 1870. From 1877 to 1882 he was chaplain of St. Luke's Home in Boston. Winslow's literary work began while he was a student in college. In 1860 he was associated with two prominent students of Yale University in founding the University Quarterly Review, which was published for one year; while a senior he was co-editor of the Hamiltonian. After his graduation he was for a short time on the staff of the New York World and later (1864 - 1865), with the Rev. Stephen H. Tyng of St. George's Church, New York, was associate editor of Christian Times. Winslow's deepest interest, however, was in archaeological research. In 1880 his studies led him to visit the monuments and sites of Egypt and when the discovery of Pithom was announced, he began a correspondence with Sir Erasmus Wilson and Amelia B. Edwards, noted English Egyptian scholars, which led to his founding the American Branch of the Egypt Exploration Fund. In 1883 he became honorary treasurer of this Fund for America; in 1885, its vice-president; and in 1889, honorary secretary. For probably a dozen years after he founded the American Branch he devoted nearly all his time to its interests and to making Egypt known to the American people. During the years 1886 - 1889, as a result of Winslow's enthusiasm, the Boston Museum was enriched with a notable collection of Egyptian monuments, which included the statue of Rameses II, the gigantic column from Bubastis, the head of Hathor, the Hyksos sphinx, the statue of a son of Rameses II, the processional from Bubastis, and the palm-leaf column from Ahnas; besides these, among the precious relics obtained from Abydos, was the sard and gold sceptre of King Khasekhemui of the second dynasty, oldest known sceptre in the world, which was placed in the Museum in 1902. Winslow raised a great amount of money for Egyptian exploration and also persuaded Amelia B. Edwards to make her brilliant American lecture tour. Winslow also published "Israel in Egypt", "The Store City of Pithom" (1885), "A Greek City in Egypt" (1887), "The Egyptian Collection in Boston" (1890), "The Pilgrim Fathers in Holland" (1891) and "Papyri in the United States. " William C. Winslow died on February 2, 1925, at his home on Beacon Street in Boston, Massachusetts.
Archaeologist and historical writer, William Copley Winslow was a recognized authority on New England Colonial history, and of world-wide fame in the field of Egyptological research and exploration. William C. Winslow was honorary fellow of the American Branch of the Egypt Exploration Fund, the Royal Archaeological Institute, corresponding member of the British Archaeological Association, honorary correspondent of the Victoria Institute, honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences, and fellow of the Antiquarians of Scotland. He was on the honorary rolls of numerous state historical societies and also on those of the Nova Scotia and Quebec societies, and the Montreal Society of Natural History. His last important recognition was an election as honorary fellow of the Society of Oriental Research at Chicago in 1917. He received doctorates from many universities both in America and in Europe.
