epigram and to a "powerful, blasting, and biting invective"
which he used "all too frequently to his own disadvantage."
He had a "zest for personal combat" with the pen and made
"many enemies unnecessarily." The literary style of the
Pionier "was equaled by few of its contemporaries and excelled

The bibliographical note of two pages indicates a prodigious
amount of research without which, however, this splendid book
and this understanding evaluation could not have been pro-

in Americana, for Heinzen became a true American.

ways, too, the author and publishers have caught and portrayed
the spirit of New Plymouth, the first English settlement of
continuous endurance on the New England coast. For this, as
for many other points, the author and publishers deserve com-
mendation.
For the average reader, footnotes are a hindrance, and in
this book the reader's convenience was respected by placing308
