Excerpt from Education in the Various States; Education of the Colored Race; Slater Fund and Education of the Negro Prof. George Burton Adams, in his History of Mediaeval Civilization, says: It is in Italy, however, that the most revolutionary changes which mark the new age are to be seen. There Frederick found himself opposed by an entirely new and most deter mined energy - the cities. And in the history of freedom the very names of Utrecht, Dort, Haarlem, Leyden, Magdeburg, Hamburg, Bruges, Wittenberg, Eisenach, and Worms, of Padua, Bologna, and Florence, of Warsaw, Prague, and buda-pesth, to which may be added London, Bristol, and Boston, ring with the story of popular rights and human liberty.
