Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth account of the institutional life of Massachusetts towns during the 17th century. Centering around five of its earliest townsâ"Salem, Dorchester, Watertown, Roxbury and Cambridgeâ"the author traces the development of their political, economic, and social institutions. Drawing comparisons between these towns and similar group settlements in England, this book showcases the influence of transplantation from one continent to another. From land allocation and taxation to town governance and education, the author shows how these towns adapted their Old World framework to their New World environment, resulting in a new chapter in social and political development. Through this comparative analysis, the author sheds light on the nature of early New England towns and their role in shaping the landscape of American society.
