A reviewer of the first edition (1936) of Professor Morison's book wrote that "...because his endeavor is to show that seventeenth century America is more knowable than we thought, and partly because his method is wherever possible objective...he comes as near success in his task as any man perhaps may come."(Nation) In his preface to the second edition, Professor Morison states that "...the intellectual life of this period might well be called the...`Early Flowering' of New England."
