 from 1675 to 1676 with a pen. It is possible the 

 entire edition of this issue was so changed. It is 

 clearly another issue, the matter being entirely 

 reset.

According to Drake there was no demand for 

 his first reprint (1833) of the "Present state" 

 and its accompanying "Continuation, "and it 

 "lay some three years on hand, excepting what 

 were gratuitously distributed." They "were 

 not reprinted (for the first edition [of the Old 

 IndianChronicle]), asenough of them remained 

 on hand in 1836 to complete the edition of some 

 250 copies." In order to complete the edition 

 of the Chronicle, of which 500 copies had been 

 printed in all, these two tracts were reprinted 

 shortly afterwards difiering in the arrangement 

 of nearly every page from the edition of 1833. 

 The title of this reprint of the "Present state" 

 is as follows :

 land I with respect to the | Indian War.
