Having in the first chapters strikingly and convincingly shown that New
England's history was the birth of centuries of travail, and having
prepared his readers to estimate at their true importance the events of
our early colonial life, Mr. Fiske is ready to take up his task as the
historian of the New England of the Puritans.... The last chapters give
a broad and fair account of the history of the time, but it is easy to
see that in his choice of facts, the author has exercised a large power
of selection,--a selection which we may note is wonderful in its
unfailing accuracy of estimate. As he is busy with the progress towards
civil and religious liberty which culminated in the Revolution, his
facts are chosen to illustrate that progress.--_Boston Daily
