Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Church Silver of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries: With a Few Pieces of Domestic Plate, Exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, July to December, 1911
The population of the colony was almost Wholly interested in agriculture and wealth was quite equally distributed. No one was very rich and no one very poor. Even New Haven, its largest town, the seat of a college, and in a limited way a commercial port, was distinctly a farming community. This was due to its geographical position, for no town in New England had been settled under fairer commercial prospects or with greater financial resources.
