People of the Wachusett
Nashaway became Lancaster, Wachusett became Princeton, and all of Nipmuck County became the county of Worcester.

The Correspondence of Washington Allston
Washington Allston (1779-1843), the first major American artist trained in Europe, produced important paintings, explored sculpture and architecture, and published poetry and art criticism.

Allston holds an important place in the history of American culture and European art and has long deserved such a volume, which offers a fascinating view of the world of arts and letters during the early American flowering.
