Note 1294 — Chapter VIII · (continued 2)

Braddock’s Expedition, p. 55; Proud’s Pennsylvania, ii. 331. The Enquiry has a map of the country, and the second journal of Christian Frederic Post. The book was reprinted in Philad. in 1867. (Thomson, Bibliog. of Ohio, nos. 1145, 1146; Barlow’s Rough List, no. 951, 952; H. C. lib., 5325.44.) Parkman (Pontiac, i. 85) refers to Thomson’s tract “as designed to explain the causes of the rupture, which took place at the outbreak of the French war, and the text is supported by copious references to treaties and documents.” Referring to a copy with MS. notes by Gov. Hamilton, Parkman says that the proprietary governor cavils at several unimportant points, but suffers the essential matter to pass unchallenged. Cf. Several Conferences between ... the Quakers and the Six Indian Nations in order to reclaim their brethren the Delaware Indians from their defection, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 1756. (Brinley, iii. 5,497.)
