Sinopsis

''Apprenticeship and Apprenticeship Education in Colonial New England and New York'' is a historical work written by Robert Francis Seybolt and first published in 1917. The book provides a detailed exploration of the apprenticeship system that was prevalent in the American colonies during the 17th and 18th centuries. Seybolt examines the various aspects of apprenticeship, including the legal framework, the roles of masters and apprentices, the types of trades and crafts that were taught, and the economic and social implications of the system. He also delves into the educational aspects of apprenticeship, discussing the methods used to teach practical skills and the ways in which apprentices were educated in broader subjects like reading, writing, and arithmetic.Throughout the book, Seybolt draws on a range of primary sources, including legal records, diaries, and letters, to provide a vivid and detailed picture of what life was like for apprentices in colonial America. He also offers insights into the broader social and economic context of the time, highlighting the ways in which the apprenticeship system was shaped by factors like immigration, urbanization, and the growth of trade and commerce.Overall, ''Apprenticeship and Apprenticeship Education in Colonial New England and New York'' is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education, labor, and society in colonial America. It provides a fascinating glimpse into a time when apprenticeship was a central part of the economic and social fabric of the colonies, and sheds light on the ways in which this system contributed to the development of American society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
