Excerpt from Recollections of a New England Town The interest that attached to the articles on old-time Meriden by Faith (mrs. Frances A. Breckenridge), as printed originally in Tfie Meriden Daily journal, led to the belief that published in book form they would prove entertaining, not only to present and former Meriden people, but to the readers of New England generally; for Meriden as described in Faith's quaint way in the following chapters, is typical of the New England villages of the first and second quarters of the century. To the newspaper articles have been added many chapters on subjects that cannot fail to engage the pleasant attention of all who would like to know What rural New England was like half a century and more ago. One great value that the work has is the absolutely correct historical information that it contains. What is told here is authenticated by carefully preserved family records, and personal knowledge of the author.

Before passing up a career in law for the writing life, Richard Matthews Hallett lived an exciting life of adventure, that included a stint as a police officer, and as a seaman aboard a schooner bound for Australia. He then trekked across that country and lived by his wits in England for a time before returning to the States. Later, he was a deck officer on warships convoying soldiers and horses across the Atlantic in WW I, and facing U-boat attacks. Over is life, Hallett wrote several novels and more than 200 short stories that were published in the most widely read magazines of the day, including the Saturday Evening Post, Harper's, Atlantic, Collier's, Everybody's, and American Legion Monthly. The stories gathered here, published in the first half of the twentieth century, include vivid tales of the sea, both in the days of sail and in the midst of war, often built around ship-board tensions and tumult; and stories of Maine and New England and their small town values and rivalries.
