"These monographs have permanent literary and historical value. They are from the pens of authors who are saturated with their themes, and do not write to order, but con amore. The beautiful letterpress adds greatly to the attractiveness of the book."—The Watchman.
"The authors of the Boston papers have succeeded in presenting a wonderfully interesting account in which none of the more important events have been omitted.... the quaint Cape Cod towns that have clung tenaciously to their old-fashioned ways are described with a characteristic vividness by Miss Bates.... The other papers are presented in a delightfully attractive manner that will serve to make more deeply cherished the memory of the places described."—New York Times.
