15 11. 16°. The pagination of this little pam- 

 phlet is curiously confused. I have seen butone 

 copy, that in the library of Maj. J. W. Powell, 

 and but infrequent references to it. It is bound 

 with a copy of the first edition, which ends 

 with p. 8. The second edition, which has its 

 own title-page, as above, is paged 12 on reverse 

 of title, followed by 13 on recto of 1. 2, the verso 

 of which is paged 9, followed on recto of 1. 3 by 

 p. 7, verso not paged; the recto of 1. 4 is paged 

 9, and the pagination runs consecutively to 24 ; 

 the recto of 1. 12 is numbered 17, but the verso 

 26 is correct, as is also p. 27, the reverse of 

 which is blank. The recto of the fourteenth 

 leaf is numbered 21, verso 30; the fifteenth, 

 recto p. 31, verso p. 24.

Mr. Hamilton was born in Lycoming (now 

 Clinton) County, Pennsylvania, on August 1, 

 1811. 



In his twenty-first year, having meanwhile 

 remained on his father's farm, part of the 

 time being engaged in study, he went to col- 

 lege at Washington, Pa., in what is now "Wash- 

 ington and Jefferson College, from which he 

 was graduated in 1834. He at once engaged in 

 teaching in Wheeling, Va., going thence to 

 Pittsburgh. He was licensed to preach in 1837, 

 and was accepted by the Presbyterian Board 

 of Foreign Missions as their missionary, being 

 ordained in October of the same year. 



During the fall of 1837, having been married 

 during the summer of the same year, Mr. Ham- 

 ilton started westward, and spent the winter 

 among the Iowa and Missouri Sac Indians on 

 Wolf Creek, Nebraska, where Rev. S. F. Irvin 

 and wife were stationed. Among these Indians 

 Mr. Hamilton spent fifteen years. 



In 1853 Mr. Hamilton was transferred to the 

 Oto and Omaha Mission, Bellevue, Nebr., and 

 since that time has been almost continually in 

 the service of the Presbyterian Board of For- 

 eign Missions.
