| Summary | "The History of Lynn, Vol. 2 [of 2]" by William Richards is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work delves into the civil, ecclesiastical, political, commercial, biographical, municipal, and military history of Lynn, particularly focusing on significant events and changes from the Reformation to the present time as it was understood by the author. The book appears to provide a comprehensive examination of various aspects that influenced the character and condition of Lynn's inhabitants across different periods. The opening of the volume introduces the idea that the Reformation marked a crucial and contentious period in history, with deeply divided opinions about its outcomes. Richards discusses the conflicting views on the Reformers and the transformative effects of the Reformation on Lynn, emphasizing that the change did not lead to a clear improvement in morality or social order. He highlights the shift from Catholicism to Protestantism, which involved not only theological changes but also societal upheaval, detailing early instances of persecution and the implications of religious authority on the lives of ordinary citizens. The account sets the stage for an investigation into the moral and intellectual evolution—or lack thereof—within the community as a direct result of these historical changes.
