Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Abridgment of the History of New England, for the Use of Young Persons
The history of North America exhibits a very different scene. The desire of enjoying religious liberty was the grand object which induced many of the first settlers of that country to encounter a variety of hardships in the wilderness of the new world. The settlements of New England, which are the particular objects of the ensuing history, owe their rise to the religious disputes which attended the reformation in England.
