Summary "An Account of Two Voyages to New-England, Made During the Years 1638, 1663" by John Josselyn is a historical account written in the mid-17th century. This work recounts the author's journeys to New England during a formative period in American colonial history. Josselyn provides detailed observations of the land, its ecology, and the inhabitants he encounters, as well as reflections on the political and social climate of the time. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the context in which Josselyn's voyages were taken, noting the differences between his first visit in 1638, when Boston was still a burgeoning village, and his return in 1663 to find it transformed into a bustling seaport. Josselyn begins to document the details of his journey aboard the ship New Supply, including its provisions, the challenges faced during the voyage, and rich descriptions of various natural phenomena and interactions with marine life. The narrative sets a vivid and engaging tone as he shares insights into the flora and fauna of New England, alongside intriguing anecdotes about the people and conditions of the time, creating a compelling glimpse into the early colonial experience.
