Excerpt from Economic and Social History of New England, Vol. 1 of 2: 1620-1789 In these pages I have gathered some of the facts in the story of New England life. It is not an exhaustive collection, but it is hoped sufficient material has been secured to show in part what that life has stood for. Considerable independent investigation has been made in the Archives of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Con necticut, and also in their respective Probate Records. Manuscripts and stray papers in the American Antiqua rian Society, New England Historical and Genealogical Society, Rhode Island Historical Society, and elsewhere, have yielded good results. The family papers of the late Thomas C. Amory, Esq., show the commerce of their pe riod. Newspapers in possession of the Massachusetts His torical Society, and the American Antiquarian Society, afiord many glimpses of the condition of the eighteenth century. Much material of similar import has been drawn from the earlier local histories, and more recent publications of town records. The old-fashioned town histories are mines of crude historical ore, while the ao tual records of the early time, now being reproduced, are invaluable. A tabulated list of prices will be found under Appendix A. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Winthrop's Journal, Vol. 2: "History of New England," 1630-1649 This year there came over great store of provisions, both out of England and Ireland, and but few passengers, (and those brought very little money, ) which was occasioned by the store of money and quick markets, which the merchants found here the two or three years before, so as now all our money was drained from us, and cattle and all commodities grew very cheap, which enforced us at the next general court, in the 8th month, to make an order, that corn should pass in payments of new debts; Indian at 43. The bushel; rye at 5s., and wheat at 6s.; and that, upon all executions for former debts, the credi tor might take what goods he pleased, (or, if he had no goods, then his lands, ) to be appraised by three men, one chosen by the creditor, one by the debtor, and the third by the marshal. One Of the ships, which came this summer, struck upon a whale with a full gale, which put the ship a stays; the whale struck the ship on her bow, with her tail a little above water, and brake the planks and six timbers and a beam, and staved two hogsheads of vinegar.
