Excerpt
Edward Manners lived with his mother in a small but comfortable homestead in the town of Hartford, on the Connecticut river, which at that time could boast less than half a century of existence. The house was situated at the farther end of the town, in a somewhat retired position, and was flanked by a moderate-sized but well-kept and flourishing garden. Sometimes, in the pride of his sixteen years, Edward cried out that these quarters were very narrow and the life therein circumscribed, and that better fortunes might await him, if he could but make his way into some of the neighboring and wealthier colonies, where men were already beginning to build up fortunes.
