It was in part because the era was an era of restless action. Under the Renaissance men experienced great awakenings—they were fired with restless energy to burst the narrow bounds of the medieval conception of the wuniverse—to fare forth on voyages of exploration and conquest. Many of those who sailed in immense discomfort, in tiny shipz across the Atlantic, were adventurers—some of them seeking riches, some seeking fame, some impelled by the mere spirit of unrest. But most of them—the men, the women and the children, came hither seeking something very different—seekmg an opportunity which they coud not find in their homes of the Old World. We hear of the gentlemen of title, who, on occasion, came to the Colonies, and we hear of the gentlemen of wealth who helped to fit
