The Customs Of New England by Joseph Barlow Felt. This work, originally published in 1853, surveys the daily life and social customs of early New England settlers by tracing their household furniture, dress, and domestic practices. Felt aims to describe the evolution of material culture—the furniture items, utensils, and fashion—that formed the texture of colonial homes. The excerpt covers Part First: Furniture or Household Appurtenances, with chapters on andirons, beds, bellows, bookcases, candlesticks, chests of drawers, clocks, china ware, pewter ware, glass ware, spoons, pots, and more; and Part Second: Fashions of Dress, including Shoes, Hats, Caps, Neckcloths, Gowns, Stays, Wigs, and related accoutrements. The book blends antiquarian detail with moral commentary on thrift, temperance, and simplicity, arguing that taste should harmonize with circumstance and that ostentation undermines virtue. It contrasts colonial life with English fashion, showing how Puritan restraints and local conditions shaped what counted as proper, useful, and beautiful. Felt’s tone is affectionate and instructive, offering a window into the habits that sustained the New England colonies and their evolving self-image.
