Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fast and Thanksgiving Days of New England
The application of the inductive method to bistori cal studies, while it is scientific, has some disadvan tages. In this instance it has demanded an exhaustive search to recover all the days observed; and though no pains have been spared in this work, doubtless others will be added to the list. The antiquary can now tell at once whether or not a date, which he may find in some bit of manuscript, is recorded elsewhere. It is not probable, however, that any additions will modify the conclusions arrived at as to the origin of annual appointments, a subject which could only be thoroughly treated by the inductive method.
