Note 563 — Chapter III · (continued 2)

Jonathan Edwards wrote Brainerd’s life, using his diaries in part. In 1822 a new edition, by Sereno Edwards Dwight, included journals (June, 1745, to June, 1746) that had been published separately, which had been overlooked by Edwards. (Sabin, ii. nos. 7,339-7,346.) The Journal of a two months’ tour with a view of promoting religion among the frontier inhabitants of Pennsylvania, and introducing Christianity among the Indians west of the Alegh-geny Mountains, by Charles Beatty (London, 1768), is the result of a mission planned in England, and is addressed to the Earl of Dartmouth and other trustees of the Indian Charity School. In Perry’s Amer. Episcopal Church, chapter 19, is given an account of missionary labors among the Mohawks and other Indian tribes. Gideon Hawley’s account of his journey among the Mohawks in 1753 is in Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll., iv., and Doc. Hist. N. Y., iii.
