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._ Historic Towns of the Middle States Edited by LYMAN P.
