A Compendious History Of New-England: To Which Is Added, A Short Abstract Of The History Of New-York, And New-Jersey : Designed For The Use Of Schools And Private Families" by Jedidiah Morse; Elijah Parish describes a comprehensive early American history compiled for educational purposes. This work surveys the settlements of New England—from the Puritan exodus to Holland, the founding of Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Haven—along with the political, religious, and social structures that shaped their development. It details the formation of colonial governance, church discipline, education (notably Harvard), and the interactions with Native American nations, including Massasoit and the Narraganset, as well as significant events such as Puritan dissent, the Saybrook and Saybrook Platform, and the rise of confederacies. The volume also introduces the Dutch and later English presence in New York and New Jersey, and traces the regional histories up to the American Revolution. It blends narrative with biographical sketches of key leaders and pastors, emphasizing the role of religion and schooling in the growth of the American colonies.
