Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Literary Papers of William Austin: With a Biographical Sketch by His Son, James Walker Austin William Austin, the author of the Papers included in this volume, was the son of Nathaniel Austin. - of the Austin family that settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts, about 1638, - and of Margaret Rand, a sister of Dr. Isaac Rand, well spoken of by Lorenzo Sabine in the Biographical Sketches of American Loyalists. The earliest recorded notice of the Austin name in the Charlestown Records is that of Richard Austin, who was admitted a freeman in 1651, probably when he became twenty-one years of age. From this Richard descended Benjamin Austin, commonly known as "Honestus;" Jonathan Loring Austin, secretary to Dr. Franklin at Paris, and afterward Secretary of State and Treasurer of Massachusetts; and the late Attorney-general, James Trccothick Austin. During the Revolution all of the Austin name were patriots, stanch and active; and Benjamin, the father of "Honestus," was one of the number of those whose appointment as councillors was vetoed by Governor Gage. There is a tradition that two boys, brothers, came to Charlestown in 1638, - one of whom was Richard (admitted freeman in 1651, as before stated), and the other named Anthony, who first went to Rowley, Massachusetts, and thence to Suffield, Connecticut.

Early American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases
Author: Bartlett Jere WhitingPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674219816
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
p.B. J. Whiting savors proverbial expressions and has devoted much of his lifetime to studying and collecting them; no one knows more about British and American proverbs than he. The present volume, based upon writings in British North America from the earliest settlements to approximately 1820, complements his and Archer Taylor's Dictionary of American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases, 1820-1880. It differs from that work and from other standard collections, however, in that its sources are primarily not "literary" but instead workaday writings - letters, diaries, histories, travel books, political pamphlets, and the like. The authors represent a wide cross-section of the populace, from scholars and statesmen to farmers, shopkeepers, sailors, and hunters. Mr. Whiting has combed all the obvious sources and hundreds of out-of-the-way publications of local journals and historical societies. This body of material, "because it covers territory that has not been extracted and compiled in a scholarly way before, can justly be said to be the most valuable of all those that Whiting has brought together," according to Albert B. Friedman. "What makes the work important is Whiting's authority: a proverb or proverbial phrase is what BJW thinks is a proverb or proverbial phrase. There is no objective operative definition of any value, no divining rod; his tact, 'feel, ' experience, determine what's the real thing and what is spurious."
