Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a New England Town The interest that attached to the articles on old-time Meriden by Faith (mrs. Frances A. Breckenridge), as printed originally in Tfie Meriden Daily journal, led to the belief that published in book form they would prove entertaining, not only to present and former Meriden people, but to the readers of New England generally; for Meriden as described in Faith's quaint way in the following chapters, is typical of the New England villages of the first and second quarters of the century. To the newspaper articles have been added many chapters on subjects that cannot fail to engage the pleasant attention of all who would like to know What rural New England was like half a century and more ago. One great value that the work has is the absolutely correct historical information that it contains. What is told here is authenticated by carefully preserved family records, and personal knowledge of the author.
