First sentence: ON the 22d of December, 1620, (N. S.) corresponding with the 11th, (O. S.) the inmates of the Mayflower, one hundred and one in number, landed on Plymouth Rock, after a long and tempestuous voyage of ninety-eight days across the ocean, and after having solemnly united themselves together in covenant, "as a civil body politic," to find a home, and plant a church, and rear civil institutions, on gospel foundations, in this new world of the West.
