G. R. Carpenter says of this work that no single modern volume could be found which has so penetrated the secret of colonial times in Massachusetts, for it is almost line by line a transcript and imaginative interpretation of old letters, journals, and memoirs.
Its Quaker authorship, moreover, gives it ju
