The Bartletts: Ancestral, Genealogical, Biographical, Historical; Comprising an Account of the American Progenitors of the Bartlett Family, With Special Reference to the Descendants of John Bartlett, - Softcover

Excerpt from The Bartletts: Ancestral, Genealogical, Biographical, Historical; Comprising an Account of the American Progenitors of the Bartlett Family, With Special Reference to the Descendants of John Bartlett, of Wey Mouth and Cumberland

"Happy who, with bright regard looks back
Upon his father's fathers; who with joy
Recounts their deeds of grace, and in himself
Values the latest link in the fair chain
Of noble sequences; for nature loves
Not at one bound to achieve her topmost type,
But step by step she leads a family on
To demigod or devil; the rare joy
Or horror of the world."

- Goethe's Iphigenia.
