Description
Excerpt from Samuel Sewall and the World He Lived In
Sewall''s Diary, therefore, covers, in time, more than fifty-five years of the old New England life, and when that life was putting itself into form. The book is too late to show the details of the first planting of Massachusetts Colony under Winthrop, except by occasional back glances, more than one generation having lapsed between 1630 and 1673. Yet there were in his day many of the renowned settlers, as he styles them, who first came; and he was near enough in time to know things from the start, the great head man, and F idus Achates of New Eng land Puritanism, John Winthrop, having died as late as March 26, 1649, or less than twenty-four years before Sewall''s Diary begins.
