Excerpt from The Journals of Madam Knight, and Rev. Mr. Buckingham: From the Original Manuscripts, Written in 1704& 1710 This is not a work of fiction, as the scarcity of old American manuscripts may induce some to imagine, but it is a faithful copy from a diary in the author's own hand-writing, compiled soon after her return home, as it appears, from notes recorded daily, while on the road. She was a resident of Boston, and a lady of uncommon literary attainments, as well as of great taste and strength of mind. She was called Madam Knight, out of respect to her character, according to a custom once common in New-England, but what was her family name the publishers have not been able to discover.
