Synopsis

The Notebook Kept By Thomas Lechford: Lawyer In Boston, Massachusetts Bay, From June 27, 1638 To July 29, 1641 is a historical book that provides a unique insight into the early colonial period of the United States. The book is a transcription of the diary kept by Thomas Lechford, a lawyer who lived in Boston during the mid-17th century. The diary covers a period of three years, from June 27, 1638, to July 29, 1641, and contains a wealth of information about the legal and social issues of the time. Lechford's diary provides a detailed account of the legal system in colonial Massachusetts Bay, including the laws and customs of the time, the court system, and the legal disputes that arose during this period. The diary also provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of the early settlers of Boston, including their religious beliefs, social customs, and economic activities. Lechford's diary is an important historical document that sheds light on the early colonial period of the United States and provides a valuable resource for scholars and historians interested in this period of American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
