Note 97 — Observations, and arguments, in proof of the American Indians being descended from the Jews. (continued 5)

The reference is to Thomas Thorowgood’s book entitled “Jews in America, or Probabilities, that those Indians are Judaical, made more probable by some Additionals to the former Conjectures. An Accurate Discourse is promised by Mr. John Elliot, (who first preached the gospel to the Natives in their own Language) touching their Origination, and his Vindication of the Planters. Sm. 4th, London: Printed for Henry Brome at the Gun in Ivie-Lane. 1660.” The book is rare, selling for $200.00 a copy in 1930.
