Book Description
Excerpt from The Customs of New England A reason why Curiosity thus notices things of greater and less importance is, that it may have a symmetry in its impres sions Of human customs, actions, and character. It eves the forest in some paradisiacal portion of the earth, and singles out for its admiring gaze a fair-proportioned tree, crowned with abundance of flowers, even more beautiful and charm ing than those of the magnolia, in our own adopted Floridas. But were it to notice nothing else, except these ornaments of the landscape, and to throw out from the means of its grati fication the roots, trunk, limbs, and leaves, on which they depend for their subsistence and attraction, it would violate the laws of correct taste, indelibly and divinely inscribed on every well-trained and rightly-ordered mind. SO would it b at fault, were it to seize only on the most prominent features of the portraiture, which the pencil Of truth has drawn to represent men of other years, and, at the same time, pass over the rest of the graphic sketch as if altogether unworthy of a single glance. Its true province is to collect the small as well as the great; to notice the frieze, the cornice, the architrave, and base, as well as the shaft of ancient ages, that it may know the correct proportions of Agrippa's Pantheon. Thus faithful to its trust, Curiosity furnishes us with the customs of our ancestors as a topic on which we may look and not be altogether unrewarded for our attention. In the accomplishment of this enterprise, we have not always a compass, nor a cloudless polar star, for our guide. Still we may venture in the hope that we may fare better than our fears.

Book Description
From the hour when the Puritan baby opened his eyes in bleak New England he had a Spartan struggle for life. In summer-time he fared comparatively well, but in winter the ill-heated houses of the colonists gave to him a most chilling and benumbing welcome. Within the great open fireplace, when fairly scorched in the face by the glowing flames of the roaring wood fire, he might be bathed and dressed, and he might be cuddled and nursed in warmth and comfort; but all his baby hours could not be spent in the ingleside, and were he carried four feet away from the chimney on a raw winter's day he found in his new home a temperature that would make a modern infant scream with indignant discomfort, or lie stupefied with cold.

Book Description
Excerpt from Warning Out in New England The information contained in this book was gath ered in the preparation of a paper read before the New England historic-genealogical Society. The paper was not printed, because it was thought the subject was of sufficient general interest to warrant its presentation in a book for the use Of the public at large. This volume has therefore no claim to merit except that it contains material which has not before been brought together, relating to an interesting chap ter in the Colonial and early State history of New England.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Customs of New England Various and multiplied are the gifts which have come down from the Father of lights, as our earthly portion. Among these blessings, Curiosity, as the inlet of useful knowledge, entertainment, and edification, holds no low, no trivial rank. Such a faculty is privileged to open its perception on the wonders of the Universe, as well as on the inventions, discoveries, and productions of human genius. Particularly is it favored with looking back on the course of time, and holding communion with objects unseen by that view which is only directed to scenes and concerns of the passing age. Curiosity, thus employed, has the abundant materials of History gathering in its varied prospect, the more minutely it surveys and plies itself to the task of satisfying its increased and ardent desires. So indulged and so commendably occupied, it meets with topics which invariably hold its high estimation and share in its favorable attention, though they are familiar and at home with it, as friends of long intercourse and acquaintance.
