| Summary | "The Romance of Old New England Rooftrees" by Mary Caroline Crawford is a collection of historical sketches written in the early 20th century. This work aims to present the intriguing tales associated with the remaining old houses in New England, appealing to those seeking to understand the romantic history of the region through its architecture and former inhabitants. At the start of the book, the author introduces the reader to the story of Bishop Berkeley, who settled in Newport, Rhode Island, during the early 18th century. It recounts Berkeley's idealistic vision of establishing a college in Bermuda to educate American youth and Indigenous peoples for the propagation of Christianity, reflecting on his dedication to education and moral improvement. The opening also touches on relationships with notable literary figures of the time, including Jonathan Swift and the tragic tale of Vanessa, providing a glimpse into the interconnected lives influencing the history and culture of Old New England.
