Critics say that his prose is below his poetry, which is perhaps true; but no one can blame him when the conditions under which he wrote are considered. His prose was written in defence of the very life and liberty of the English people at a time when everything was at fever heat, and when it was hardly possible to write composedly and coolly.

Concord and Salem, delightful old colonial towns, are not merely the receptacle of scattered monuments commemorating the halting places of the Continental or British troops.
