Note 949 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
Cf. Chauncy’s Sermon on the victory, p. 9; Mass. Hist. Coll., vii. 69. The Rev. Amos Adams, or Roxbury, in his Concise History of New England, etc. (Boston, reprinted in London, 1770), written at a time when “many of us remember the readiness with which thousands engaged themselves in that hazardous enterprise,” credits Shirley with the planning of it.
