THE EDITOR'S PREFACE. z^- « I^hurch's History of "Kin^ Philip's War," «fec. wasfirstpublished at Boston, in 1716, in quarto. It was reprinted inNewport, in 1772,inoctavo. T have never met with a copy of the first edition,therefore I copy from the second. This is now very scarce andrarely to be met with. It is however preserved insomeprivatelibrariesintheoldcolony,intheAthe- neum at Boston, and other literary institutions there and elsewhere. The lamentable manner in which Hutchinson in his History ofMassachusetts passed over the Indian wars, causes us much regret, and a desire to catch ateverythingthat can giveanylight upon them. He is particular in relating the witch affairs of the co- lony, but when we have followed him into Philip's war, being led at first with interesting particulars, he stops short andsays,"It is not mydesigntoenter into every minute circumstance of the war." But does not tell us why. This is the more to be la- mented, as his means were more ample for such his- torythan can now be had. In 1825 I publishedasmalledition of this history, containing however but few additions to the old, which bemg immediately taken up, occasioned the early appearance of this. In an early period itwas designedtopublishthe workasitnow appears. Ac- cordingly many valuable papers and rare works had been collected, but not used in the first edition, on 2U07C62 IV THE EDITOR'S PREFACE. account of the magnitude and early promise of the work. The papers had beenmuch forwarded previousto the Courtstreet fire, of 10 November, 1825, in the time of which a trunk was stolen, containing many ofthemanuscript notes, relating particularly to the biography of the principal persons that figured in the Indian wars. These in many instances I could not restore, which is very much regretted; though not more than my want of information on subjects in general. But a consciousness is felt,that some- thing thoughsmall,isredeemed fromoblivion, which will be thought valuable byposterity. Of such gentlemen as have had the opportunities ofmany years to examinethehistory ofour country, together witheveryadvantage fromaccesstoallpub- lick and private documents, I haveeveryindulgence to ask. In regardtotheaccurate perf'^'manceofthework, I can only observe, that a ulous regard to accuracy has been paid; y roiirs may have beencommitted,but m no cas^ <aadvertently. And as our most authentickhistorianshavefailedin many ofthesepoints,perfection willnotbeexpectedinme. The same indulgence forthecommission ofliteral crrours, as for others, is solicited, though the excuse forsuchcannotbesogood;butifeverythin^befound simple, and easy to be understood, my chief uinri is answered. For so '*all historical memoirs (says Dr. Colman) should be written." In a number of particulars I have deviated fromcommon usage; but in none without good reasons, and to me satisfactory. Asone instance it is observed,thatcompoundnames ofplaces, in general,are written like simple names. For this deviation from general custom, no apology will be expected ofme, as it has been proved to be preferable by a writer ofgreat eminence.* *Joel Barlow, Esq. See his Columbiad, printed 1907, Philadelphia,4to. I t ; THE EDITOR'S PREFACE. f In correcting thetext,s—uperfluouswordsare some- times lci\out; but this [ 1 sign is substituted, and the word or words omitted aregiven in the margin included by the same marks. When a word is al- tered, it is also included in brackets, and the word given in the margin as it stood in the original, and mcluded in the some way. All words, presumedto be wanting, are inserted between brackets without referencetothemargin,andarebythepresenteditor. All notes included by the parenthesis were by the former editor, and attached to the old edition. I should take it as a great kindness, should any person communicate to me anyinformation where it IS presumedto be wanting in the notestothis work or point outany errours in whatisalreadydone, that future editions may be more perfect. It being the particular design of this edition to render it uniform and consistent with resp«ct to ar- rangementand ^*originality" of expression, few lib- erties have been takenwiththecomposition; few in- deed, unless pointed out as above expressed. In some instances however,some connective particles have been dropped and the signs omitted. But in suchcaseswhatisomitted was superfluous tautology. Therefore the reader may be assured that the text is correctly copied. From the present appearance of the work, its former erroneous composition is too easily discovered yetitissomeconsolation,that in- ; numerable errours have been detected, and generally,inasmuchasthedesignofthesubjectwouldadmit. It was thought advisable to accompany the work withan Appendix,w^hereinsomethingnew,oroflater date might be given, as young persons generally prefer new things to old. It was ratherdiflicult to make the selection for this part,not for want ofma- terials, but because they were so numerous; and so many seem to deserve the same attention. But the articles are authentick, and as interesting, it is pre* sumed, as can be found.
