| First Sentence: |
It was in Salem, in the strange old times of the colony of Massachusetts Bay, when the New World was in its humble beginnings, when the stern virtues of Puritanism were in force, when grim and ancient superstitions filled the popular mind, and when everything American was so crude, so chaotic, so stormy, that it seems like walking amid the primeval ages to look back upon that epoch. |
