| 520 | _a"Customs and Fashions in Old New England" by Alice Morse Earle is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the daily life, customs, and practices of early New England settlers, delving into aspects from childbirth to courtship, and providing insights into their social structures and traditions. It aims to illuminate the challenges and norms faced by Puritan families in their distinct cultural setting. At the start of the book, Earle discusses the harsh realities of life for Puritan infants and their families during the colonial period. She details the physical hardships that babies endured, such as exposure to cold and the grim process of baptism, and notices the high infant mortality rates. The narrative also touches on the roles of midwives and the traditional practices surrounding childbirth, as exemplified through references to historical figures like Judge Samuel Sewall, whose diaries offer a glimpse into the family dynamics and societal norms of the time. The opening sets a somber tone, highlighting the survival instincts necessitated by the harsh New England environment while providing rich historical context to the customs of the era.
