Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life of John Winthrop the Younger: Founder of Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1633
At his suggestion, also, I have taken pains to provide suitable illustrations. The frontispiece is an unusually successful repro duction of the well-known but much discolored portrait of John Winthrop, J r., in early life, the only authentic likeness of him at any period, and still in possession of a branch of his descend ants. The facsimiles of manuscripts relating to Ipswich are taken from originals given by me a number of years ago to the Essex Institute. Two of them are reproduced in full size, the others have been a little reduced to avoid folding.
