Sacred Seasons of the Puritans

Sacred Seasons of the Puritans

The subject of the Fasts and Thanksgivings of New England is an interesting and neglected portion of the history of our puritan forefathers, which the author has great pleasure in presenting to the reader, from the hand of a distinguished antiquary and historian, the Rev. Joseph B. Felt of Boston; who, with his accustomed diligence and patient research has investigated this portion of our ecclesiastical history, and has very kindly embodied the result of his inquiries in the following treatise for this work.

Fasts and Thanksgivings of New England with additional Remarks on such days in other parts of the United States, follow.
