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.

Excerpt from An Abridgment of the History of New-England, for the Use of Young Persons The candid reception which the public have given to the Abridgment of the History of New-England, has induced the compiler to print another edition, with some additions, which she hopes will be received with equal candor. The narrow limits of the work would not permit a particular delineation of the characters of our excellent ancestors; enough, however, she trusts is said to impress the minds of young persons with veneration for those eminent men, to whom their posterity are so highly indebted. In order to understand, more clearly, some parts of this little work, it is necessary for young readers to obtain a general knowledge of the History of England, during the period which it comprises. When they wish for further information respecting the history of their own country, they are referred to those large and valuable works from which the abridgment is collected. For the corrections in the chronology, and some of the additions, the editor is indebted to Dr. Holmes' American Annals, which elegant work is eminently useful to the public in promoting a correct knowledge of the history of the American colonies. The Questions to each chapter, are inserted in the Appendix, in order to render the abridgment more useful for schools. Young people may find answers in the sections referred to; and in this way, imprint upon their memories the leading events in the history of their own country.
