Clean, unmarked pages. Samuel Peters, a loyalist and English refugee from revolutionary New England authored severe "blue laws" in what later commentators thought was an attempt to malign the character of New England Puritans by showing them to be uncompromising fundamentalists. This work is a scholarly attempt to reconcile the historical record with Peter's forgeries. Trumbull, the author was a noted Connecticut antiquarian, well versed to deal with Peter's scurrilous claims.
