_A novel of singular power and beauty, great originality and rugged force._ Born and bred on Cape Cod, the author, at the winter firesides of country people, very conservative of ancient English customs now gone, heard curious talk of kings, Puritan ministers, the war and precedent struggle of our Revolution, and touched a race of men and women now passed away. He also heard, chiefly from ancient women, the traditions of ghosts, witches and Indians, as they are preserved, and to a degree believed, by honest Christian folk, in the very teeth of modern progress. These things are embodied in this book. _OTHER VOLUMES OF THIS SERIES IN PREPARATION._ * * * * * =A SUMMER CRUISE ON THE COAST OF NEW ENGLAND.= By ROBERT CARTER. _With an Introduction by_ ROSSITER JOHNSON. 12mo.
