Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Masterpieces and the History of Literature, Vol. 9 of 10: Analysis, Criticism, Character and Incident The Puritan colonies were theocracies, the mass Of the people being men Of the middle class, mechanics and farmers. But their leaders were clergymen, educated at the universities, who, to use the language Of Mather, felt that without a col lege these regions would have been mere unwatered places for the devil. Harvard College was accordingly founded in 1638, and a printing press set up in Cambridge in 1639, under the oversight Of the university authorities.
