Note 388 — Chapter II · (continued 2)

Particularly vol. ii. ch. 16, “Life in Boston in the Provincial Period.” In the same work other aspects of social and intellectual life are studied in Dr. Mackenzie’s chapter on the religious life (in vol. ii,), in Mr. D. A. Goddard’s on the literary life (in vol. ii.), and in Mr. Geo. S. Hale’s on the philanthrophic tendency (in vol. iv.). Incidental glimpses of the ways of living are presented in several of Mr. Samuel A. Drake’s books, like The Old Landmarks of Boston, Old Landmarks of Middlesex, and Nooks and Corners of the New England Coast. The coast life is depicted in such local histories as Babson’s Gloucester, and Freeman’s Cape Cod. The colonial house and household, beside being largely illustrated in the papers of Dr. Eggleston already mentioned, are discussed in Mr. C. A. Cummings’ chapter on “Architecture,” and Mr. E. L. Bynner’s chapter on “Landmarks” in the Mem. Hist. Boston. Cf. also Lodge, pp. 446, 458; and “Old Colonial houses versus old English houses,” by R. Jackson, in Amer. Architect, xvii. 3. Copley’s pictures and the description of them in A. T. Perkins’s Life and Works of John Singleton Copley (privately printed, 1873), with such surveys as are given in the Eggleston papers in The Century, present to us the outer appearance of the governing classes of that day.
