Excerpt from Our Foreigners, Vol. 35 It was not until the seventeenth century that the door of the wilderness of North America was Opened by Englishmen; but, if we are interested in the cir cumstances and ideas which turned Englishmen thither, we must look back into the wonderful six teenth century and even into the fifteenth, for it was only five or six years after the great Chris topher's discovery, that the Cabots, John and Se bastian, raised the Cross Of St. George on the North American coast.
