| | | Creator: | Morton, Thomas, 1575-1646 | | | Publication: | P. Force, Washington,1838] | | | Notes: | The t.p. of the 1st edition has imprint: Printed at Amsterdam, by Jacob Frederick Stam. In the yeare 1637. Some copies were issued with imprint: "Printed for Charles Green, and are sold in Pauls churchyard," without date. A copy belonging to the Society For the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, London, has this imprint, with "1632" added in manuscript; this copy is entered in White Kennet's "Bibl. amer. primordia" (p. 77) where the manuscript is printed in margin. It is supposed that Force copied from this entry in printing from a copy (now in the Library of Congress) which lacked the t.p. Although printed in Holland, the work was entered in the Stationers' register in London, Nov. 18, 1633, in the name of Charles Green; but internal evidence, as well as Morton's dedication to the Commissioners For Foreign Plantations-a body not created until April 28, 1634-would show that it was not published as early as that date. cf. Prince society edition of the "New English Canaan," 1883; Winsor, Nar. and crit. hist., v. 3 (1885) p. 348. | | | Call #: | E187 F697 v.2, no.5 | | | Extent: | 125 p. 24 cm. | | | Subjects: | Indians of North America -- Massachusetts | New England -- Description and travel -- To 1775 | Massachusetts -- Description and travel | Massachusetts -- History -- Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775
