We make the following quotation from Mr.
nallowell's very interesting paper on "The
Quakers in New England:"
The fanaticism of New England Quakers
has been so long taken for granted, that a
mere reference to these people is suggestive
of violence, indecency, and rant; but that it
is overestimated and exaggerated ia evident
from all the reliable information we have upon
the subject. The custom is to judge the
entire body of Quakers by the action of a few
exceptional cases; and we are gTavely asked
to believe that Mary Dyer was hung in Boston
because Lydia Wardwell appeared in the town
of Newbury without her garments. The fact
that this event occurred after the execution
of Mary Dyer is of trifling importance to the
zealous defenders of the Founders.
In the jail, at the whipping-post, and on
the scaffold, these heroic people displayed a
fortitude worthy the cause for which they
suffered the cause of religious liberty. Their
lives were pure and spotless: no one has yet
been able to stain their memory with dis
honesty, or immorality of any kind. Strong
in the faith that they were doing God service
in struggling for their rights, they would have
been less than human had they not uttered
their righteous indignation, and denounced
their persecutors.
To us the act of Lydia Wardwell is evi
dence of insanity. She was a modest woman,
and, strange as it appears, performed the act
complained of under a sense of religious duty.
She meant it for a "sign" unto those who
had stripped women to whip them. The
authorities had caused women to be driven
through the Btroets, bared to their waists, and
to be flogged as they dragged themselves
along. They had ordered Ann Austin and
Mary Fisher to be stripped naked and ex
amined for witch' marks. Lydia Wardwell's
act was one of highly-wrought, shocking
fanaticism. Was the act of the Founders
mere "comedy," as it has been called ? or
was it a deed of wretched fanaticism, more to
be censured than its counterpart because
cruel and diabolical ?
In extravagance of language the Puritans
at least rivalled their victims: in fanaticism
of action the difference is more apparent; for,
while the intensity of feeling may have been
equal, in the one case it was signalized by
acts of cruelty, and in the other by lofty in
difference and a sublime heroism.
During her imprisonment, Mary Dyer ad
dressed a letter to the "General Court at
Boston," of which the following is an extract:
I offer it as a fitting illustration of the temper
and spirit in which the Quakers confronted
their persecutors:
"And have you no other weapons to fight
with against spiritual wickedness, as you call
it ? Search with the light of Christ in you,
and it will 6how you of whom you take coun
sel. It is not my own life I seek,
but the life of the seed which I know the
Lord hath blessed. And I know this, that,
if you confirm your law, the Lord will over
throw both your law and you, by His righteous
judgments and plagues poured justly upon
you. In love, and in the spirit of meekness,
I again beseech you, for I have no enmity
to the persons of any; but you shall know
that God will not be mocked."
In studying the history of a peo
ple or a sect, if we aim at an impar
tial estimate of their character and
their value to posterity, we must regard them
from their own point of view, test them in
the light of their own generation, and judge
them by the requirements of our present
civilization.
The sincerity of both the Founders and the
Quakers we think has never been seriously
questioned. The Founders scouted the pos
sibility of Divine revelation beyond the
limits of the Bible. Their Christianity was
Judaism full blown. Believing implicitly in
a theocracy, they attempted to administer
a civil government by statutes derived mainly
from the Old Testament. The Quakers, with
courageous fidelity, asserted that the soul of
man is still accessible to God, and claimed
religious liberty to be the natural right of all
men. A conflict between these radically
different ideas was inevitable. The Puritans
invited the conflict. They were the as
eressors. As early as 1654 they challenged
the Quakers by enacting a law for
bidding the importation of their
books. Again in 1(158, they threw down
the gauntlet by prohibiting the intrusion
of a Quaker upon their soil. We shall not
stop to examine the value of their claim to
absolute jurisdiction, and, as a consequence,
to the right to enact this prohibitory law.
We are examining the case from the respective
standpoints of tne contending parties; and it
is sufficient to know that they sincerely
claimed such right. It is sufficient also to
know that the Quakers as sincerely denied it
They had "heard that New England had made
a law to put the servants of the living God
to death; and, braving the perils of the
sea. they sought out this land, where
religious liberty was crucified;
where the "servants of tne Liora were
forbidden to serve Him. It was a divine mis-
sion that brought them here. We are told
"they had no rights or business here; and a
simple prohibition ought to have been sum
cient even to release tueir consciences
from all obligation to meddle with
other people's consciences." A simple
prohibition, a significant bint from the pew,
may satisfy the consciences of a "hireling
ministry," of men who deal in the gospbl as a
profession, receiving as their reward the
money-value of their speech; but for "the
servants of the living God," prohibitions,
threats, and persecution had no terrors; their
answer was the answer ever given by ministers
ordained of Heaven: "Whether it be right
in the sight of God to hearken unto you more
than unto God, judge ye." It is asserted, too,
that they courted persecution, Yea, as th r
Master Jesus Christ before them, as the
thousands and tens of thousands of
victims to Religious despotism who
preceded them; as, In our own day,
Owen Lovejoy, Garrison, Wendell Phillips,
and that grand old Puritan, John Brown as
thtee Boldiei'8 in the army of the Lord courted
persecution, so did the New England Quakers.
under tne law of England, as Ingush sub
jects, they claimed the right to come here;
and under the higher law which bade them
call the world their country, and all mankind
tbeir countrymen, they claimed the right to
live in old England or in New England, as
they saw fit. Their business here was "to
meddle with other people's consciences."
They took up the gauntlet of the Puritan,
and accepted his challenge. Equal to their
enemy in sincerity, in integrity of purpose,
in devotion to their idea, they possessed the
advantage of being in the right.
I hey resolved to establish in Massachusetts
the right of every man to worship God, not
accordiag to old John Norton's conscience,
but each according to the dictates of his own
conscience.
Without organization, without any especial
co-operation, rejecting the use of carnal
weapons, and "relying solely upon those
which are spiritual and mighty through God,
to the pulling down of strongholds, thoy
attacked the Puritan Bostile. There could be
but one issue to such a contest. The Quakers
triumphed, and despotism was vanquished.
The following account of the drawings and
sketches by the old masters in the gallery of
the Ponte Vecchio in Florence is particularly
interesting now that they have all been placed
within the reach of American art-lovers by
means of the admirable "ambrotypes" of
Braun:
But once under the fascination of what is
within the walls, and we forget everything
outside. For here is the collection of original
sketches, more than twenty thousand iu
number, the works of the great artists of all
countries the rough draughts, the first hints
for the finished pictures which fill the great
galleries. Here you see whence the pic
ture grew; here you find the encjer monk
poring over his book, the lazy boy
fast asleep in the sun, the girl stepping
up with her pitcher on her head, the peasant
woman watching her baby, the chubby little
boys playing games, which appear on the
painted canvas as saints, madonnas, and che
rubs. Here you learn, too, the method of
each master's work. The sketches of Fra
Angelico, for instance, whether in pen and
ink or pencil, are so finely and delicately
finished, so clear and definite, that yon feel
that the picture stood so, distinct, in his
mind, even before one line was made; in
Fra Bartolomoo's, on the contrary, you find
line covering line, one detail in place of
another; and it is evident that only as ho
worked did the picture take its definite form.
Again, the drawings of the German mas
ters have a carefulness of detail, a most exact
rendering of each line and shade, leaving
nothing for the imagination to fill out; while
the Italian sketches are rather suggestions,
hints from which you guess the whole, some
times mere broken outlines, or patches of himt
and shade, which yet tell their story effect-
vely if you will give them a moment s heed.
Nowhere is this contrast more stronsly
marked than in the portraits.
The first impression of any German portrait
is of its correctness. Just as the man or
woman looks out on you from the wall thoy
must have looked out in life. The charm of
the picture is just there; it gives you the peo
ple, you may make of them what you can.
1 he artist does not attempt to interpret auy
thing for you beyond the actual lines aud
shades which ho sees; but he does th-it with
so much care and reverent earnestness, that
he forces you to admit the justice of his
claim to your attention even of the stiff and
stolid people to whom he introduces you.
But it is quite otherwise with the
portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, for instance,
of which there are some exquisitely finished
here. Your first thought is not of the like
ness, or the artist, or even of the personal
appearance, as we say, but of the soul behind.
lou do not stop to notice the outline of fea
ture, or the arrangement of head-dress; you
go right to the perBon himself. This is not,
so to speak, the respect for humanity with
which the German artist inspires you, but a
personal interest in this one individual.
lhere is one portrait, for instance, of a
young girl, I think, though it is impossible
to tell her exact age, which is
irresistibly attractive. You find
J'ourself speculating on the quiet content that
ooks out from under the slightly drooping
eyelids, and just curves the corners of the
mouth, as she sits with hands folded before
her. and head slightly turned to one side, quite
absorbed in her own thoughts. Of what is
she thinking now? What other thoughts
will come, as the years go by, to break up
that pleasant dreaming and disturb that
quiet self-possession? I think you
will never know. There is a quiet
strength and inward force about the woman,
that will carry her through til trial victo
riously, at least as far as outward sign goes;
and when she is grey, her forehead will be as
smooth, her eye as clear, as now.
But most of the sketches are not as finished
as this, over which it is clear that Leonardo
lingered because he loved it. Many of the
scraps of paper have half a dozen things
thrown together at random, noted at the mo
ment and thrown aside. Sometimes even a
scrap ol sonnet nas crept into ine euge,
among the unappropriated nanus and arms;
for this collection is, in comparison with
the galleries of paintings, what familiar,
friendly letters are to the published essay,
what the social, after-dinner talk is to the
evening lecture, ice members ol this com
pany are not expressing carefully formed
opinions, for which they may bo held respon
sible, and perhaps called to account; they are
not on their guard against criticism and
cavilling; they speak the thought, the fane,
of the moment, willing to give it
np instantly if better offer. So, us we
have said, they take you into their
daily lives; they show you their own
surroundings, their likes and dislikes; the
work discloses instead of concealing the
workman; and you find, as always, when yon
are fortunate enough to be admitted to sucb
intimacy with real earnest life, that you are
gaining from it far more than from ay
formal conversation. So what Hawthorne
culls "that icy demon of Weariness, who
haunts great picture-galleries," never is met
here: that is unfailing entertainment in this
rich collection, among which we must not
pass unnoticed the quaiut, odd, graceful d
signs for vases, for silver ornaments, and for
fountains, or the cases with the studies of the
landscape artists.
It is rather curious that the nucleus of the
collection is due to the same Yusari ho built
the gallery, aud who made a considerable col
lection of sketches, preparatory to writing his
"Lives of the Painters. lias passed into
the possession of the Medici, who mode lurge
additions to it, so that it is uow said to com
prise about twenty thouxaud drawings, of
which only a part have, within the hist five
years, been exhibited to the public.
