"These little stories were written about the villiage people of New England. They are studies of the descendents of the Massachusetts Bay colonists, in whom can still be seen traces of those features of will and conscience, so strong as to be almost exaggerations and deformities, which characterised their ancestors."--Author's preface to the Edinburgh Edition.
