Abstract
"THE greatest contribution of England to the Ameriean I colonies was Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, prophet-statesman of democracy and religious liberty. He was a London boy, son of a Merchant Tailor who had his shop on Cow Lane (now King Street). Roger's playground was Smithfield, an important and interesting centre of London life with its weekly market days, fairs, colourful sporting events and official celebrations. Most popular of all was the annual St. Bartholomew's Fair, offering three days of high revelry and entertainment. But the place had a more sombre distinction besides. "
