Note 920 — Chapter VII

These tracts are: A Memorial of the Present Deplorable State of New England, with the many disadvantages it lyes under by the mall-administration of their present Governor, Joseph Dudley, Esq., and his son Paul ... to which is added a faithful but melancholy account of several barbarities by the French and Indians in the east and west parts of New England, Printed in the year 1707, and sold ... in Boston. Two things seem clear: that Cotton Mather incited, perhaps wrote, this tract, and that the printing was done in London. It is not known that there is a copy in this country, and the reprint was made from one in the British Museum.
