Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Until recent facsimile printings without notes, "New English
Canaan" (originally published in 1637) has been reprinted only
twice, one in Peter Force's "Tracts" (1836) and in 1883 by the
Massachusetts Historical Society. This book represents the first
edition created from and textually-collated with all known original
copies in the world; it also constitutes the first full-length
biography of Thomas Morton of "Merrymount" (1576-1647?).
