Indiane — Continued. 



the above titles are copied. The only known 

 copy (imperfect) is now in the Lenox Library, 

 It was purchased at the sale of the first portion 

 of Mr. George Brinley's library, in New York, 

 March, 1879 (no. 794), for $25. Leaves 1-17, 27- 

 29, 45-46, 51-52, 61-66, 75-76, 78, and 80-84, are 

 lacking. The lower half of leaf 26 and the 

 upper half of leaf 30 are also lacking. The 

 primer is in English on the right-band side of 

 every leaf and in Indian on the left. Each 

 page in Indian contains a translation of the 

 English on the opposite or right-hand page and 

 bears the same leaf number. The contents are 

 as follows on the English side : The Christian 

 belief as it was taught in the ages following 

 after the apostles, 1.18; The Christian belief 

 in twenty and four questions and answers con- 

 cerning Christian doctrine (including the ten 

 commandments), 11. 19-26; Spiritual milk for 

 babes, drawn out of the breasts of both testa- 

 ments, for the nourishment of their souls, by 

 John Cotton, B.D., 11. 30-44; Marks by which 

 any man coming to the Lord's table, should ex- 

 amine himself, 11. 47-48; Greneral duties, The 

 duties of parents, and of children, 11. 48-50 ; 

 The duties of husbands and of wives, The 

 duties of masters and of servants, 1. 50; God's 

 judgment on mocking children. Against lying 

 children, 1. 53; Against those who break the 

 Sabbath day, For the encouragement of Godly 

 children, 11. 54-55 ; The promises of God, which 

 the poor Indians may hope to receive, 11. 55-57; 

 The anger of God against drunkenness, 11. 57- 

 58; Against idleness, 11.58-59; Against lying, 

 II. 59-60; Against uncleanness, 1.60; selections 

 from Psalms, 11. 67-70; Psalm 119 (selections), 

 11.70-73; Psalm 125 (selections), 11,73-74; The 

 first Psalm (in metre), 1. 74 ; Some verses of the 

 103 Psalm (in metre), 1. 77; The names of the 

 books of the Old and New Testaments, 1. 79. 



Dr. Trumbull remarks, in his note on this 

 edition in the Brinley catalogue: " This seems 

 to be the edition from which that of 1720 was 

 reprinted. The two agree, page for page, and 

 line for line nearly, but there is a difference in 

 the type. As this contains Rawson's transla- 

 tion of Cotton's ' Milk for Babes,' it was prob- 

 ably printed after or not long before 1691." 

 This opinion, however, must have been hastily 

 formed, as both type and paper have the ap- 

 pearance of a much later date. The impression 

 is excellent, and seems to be from new type, of 

 a face which I have not found in any book 

 printed in Boston much earlier than 1740. After 

 that date, the same type apparently, cast on 

 the same body, was used by several of the 

 Boston printers, and especially by the firm of 

 S. Kneeland and T. Green. If the book is 

 from their press, it was probably printed not 

 far from the year 1740.
