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.

Excerpt from A Historical Sketch of Sturbridge and Southbridge The suggestions of a learned and higly esteemed friend, first prompted the writer to attempt a brief history of the early and subsequent settlers of Sturbridge. He was led to believe, upon reflection, that such a work would be a memorial of deserved respect and gratitude to our ancestors, and perhaps be, in some degree, useful. Gratitude, for what they had endured and accomplished, not only for themselves, but for posterity; and useful, in whatever their example is worthy of imitation. The relation, which binds us to a venerated ancestry, must be cherished, if after generations would derive practical instruction from the influence of their example. The history of a town has many features bearing a strong resemblance to that of the nation to which it belongs. It is especially so in those great transactions which are deeply felt in every part. Our struggle for independence (which ought to be kept in perpetual remembrance) united the combined efforts of every section of the confederacy, and was equally beneficial to every part in its momentous results. The inhabitants of a town may feel a laudable pride in the reflection, that their fathers bore a distinguished part in the accomplishment of so great a common blessing. We have, with considerable research, endeavored to ascertain the names of all, who, from this town, bore arms in the French and Revolutionary wars. With many of those venerated men, the writer was personally acquainted, and was enabled, by aiding them, in procuring pensions, to become more particularly acquainted with their revolutionary services.

Studies in American Historical Demography is a collection of the best studies in American historical demography. The book discusses some methodological and conceptual considerations in the trends in American historical demography; the demographic history of colonial New England; and the marital migration in Essex County, Massachusetts, in the colonial and early federal periods. The text also describes the historical trends in parental power and marriage patterns in Hingham, Massachusetts; the use of demographic data that are, or may be, retrieved from colonial New England gravestones; and the mortality rates and trends in Massachusetts, Massachusetts. The estimates of the vital rates of the United States black population during the 19th century; the two-parent household; as well as the differential fertility in Madison County, New York, 1865 are also considered. The book further tackles the socioeconomic determinants of interstate fertility differentials in the United States in 1850 and 1860; cohorts of native born Massachusetts women, 1830-1920; and the demographic change and the life cycle of American families. Historians, demographers, anthropologists, economists, and sociologists will find the book invaluable.
