In some respects, it has hardly a precedent anywhere; certainly none in our New England history. This bloody drama exhibited no suddenly excited, ungovernable rage. The actors in it were not surprised by any lion-like temptation springing upon their virtue, and overcoming it, before resistance could begin.

It was a cool, calculating, money-making murder.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
