Original Description:
History of the State of Connecticut including text related to the founding of Yale College and overview of the state's settlement and economic development.
Reverend Peters was a Loyalist Episcopal minister in Hebron, Connecticut. "Mobbed in Connecticut for his Tory activities, Peters fled to England and, in retaliation, wrote this false and vicious misrepresentation of that commonwealth. Included were the Blue laws of the New Haven colony, manufactured by his animosity, but still sw...allowed as true by many people." [Howes]. (See images of "Blue Laws".)
His prefatory remarks, which purport to be "unbiassed by partiality or prejudice, " charge Nutmeggers with "sinister views and purposes" and cast doubt on their "right to the soil they occupied." He charges them with "wanton and barbarous persecutions, illegal practices, daring usurpations, &c. &c." "His apocryphal history of Connecticut is a remarkable tissue of misstatements and exaggerations, not to say of malicious falsehoods." [Church].
"The first edition is very rare." [Sabin]. FIRST EDITION. Howes P262 'b'. Church 1183. Sabin 61209.
