The Minister’s Wooing
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Preview chapterINTRODUCTION.Preview
The author has endeavoured in this story to paint a style of life
and manners which existed in New England in the earlier days of her
national existence.
Some of the principal characters are historic: the leading events of
the story are founded on actual facts, although the author has taken
the liberty to arrange and vary them for the purposes of the story.
The author has executed the work with a reverential tenderness for those great and religious minds who laid in New England the foundations of many generations, and for those institutions and habits of life from which, as from a fruitful germ, sprang all the present prosperity of America.
Such as it is, it is commended to the kindly thoughts of that British
fireside from which the fathers and mothers of America first went out
to give to English ideas and institutions a new growth in a new world.
