Here is offered a clear insight into the character of Stephen Higginson and also into post-revolutionary times at Boston. His prominence in New England councils both before and after the revolution, the importance of the “Laco” letters, his career as shipmaster, merchant, patriot and politician are all emphasized in the sketch.
“The attractive touch of the amateur, so noticeable in all of Colonel Higginson’s writings, is peculiarly well adapted to these memorials of his Federalist grandfather.”
