Note 600 — Chapter IX · (continued 2)

The originals of these tracts, with one exception, are in the possession of the writer, and they are for the most part in the Carter-Brown Library; and seven of them are published in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll., vol. iv. [Further bibliographical detail can be found in Dr. Dexter’s Congregationalism; Sabin, Dictionary; Dr. Trumbull’s Brinley Catalogue, p. 52; Field’s Indian Bibliography; Memorial History of Boston, i. 265, etc.; and more or less of the titles appear in the Menzies (nos. 1,475, 1,815, 1,816, 2,124, 2,125), O’Callaghan (nos. 852, etc.), and Rich (1832, nos. 237, 261, 263, 273, 280, 287, 292, 304, 316, 355) catalogues. Some of these Eliot tracts were used in compiling the postscript on the “Gospel’s Good Successe in New England,” appended to a book Of the Conversion of ... Indians, London, 1650 (Sabin, xiii. 56,742). Eliot’s own Briefe Narrative (1670) of his labors has been reprinted in Boston, and in the appendix of the reprint is a list of the writers on the subject. Letters of Eliot, dated 1651-52, on his labors, are in the N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., July, 1882. For an alleged portrait of Eliot and references, see Memorial History of Boston, i. 260, 261. A better engraving has since appeared in the Century Magazine, 1883.—Ed.]
