Excerpt from In Memoriam: John Alexander Jameson, LL. D., Councilor of the American Academy of Political and Social Science; Late Judge of the Superior Court of Chicago; Author of Constitutional Conventions, Etc

The scotch-irish element that settled in New England was a more aggressive body of men than was the Puri tan of whom more has been written. But the Puritan expired by limitation of time. He lost his identity as soon as he left the old New England home. He was a founder of States it is' true, but his range westward was narrower than tradition suggests. The Puritan never got farther west than the Western Reserve, or New Connecticut as it was called a century ago. His children are proud of their parentage; but his children were never Puritans.
