"These monographs have permanent literary and historical value.
They are from the pens of authors who are saturated with their
themes, and do not write to order, but _con amore_. The
beautiful letterpress adds greatly to the attractiveness of the
book."--_The Watchman._
"The authors of the Boston papers have succeeded in presenting
a wonderfully interesting account in which none of the more
important events have been omitted.... the quaint Cape Cod
towns that have clung tenaciously to their old-fashioned ways
are described with a characteristic vividness by Miss Bates....
The other papers are presented in a delightfully attractive
manner that will serve to make more deeply cherished the memory
of the places described."--_New York Times._
