To Nowhere and Return: The Autobiography of a Puritan is a book written by Joseph Hilton Smyth. This book is a personal account of the author's life as a Puritan, which is a member of a group of English Protestants who sought to purify the Church of England from its Catholic practices during the 16th and 17th centuries. Smyth's autobiography begins with his early childhood and upbringing in a Puritan family, and he describes his experiences as a student at Cambridge University, where he became deeply committed to the Puritan cause.Throughout the book, Smyth shares his struggles and successes as a Puritan preacher and leader, including his involvement in the English Civil War and his eventual exile to the New World. He also discusses his relationships with other prominent Puritans, such as Oliver Cromwell and John Milton.Smyth's autobiography provides a unique perspective on the Puritan movement and its impact on English society and religion. It offers insight into the beliefs and practices of the Puritans, as well as the challenges they faced in their efforts to reform the Church of England. Overall, To Nowhere and Return is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the history of religion and society in England during the 17th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
