  Another 
  has 
  the 
  same 
  obverse, 
  and 
  the 
  same 
  date 
  and 
  legend 
  on 
  

   the 
  reverse. 
  An 
  officer 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  foreground 
  of 
  the 
  landscape, 
  and 
  

   an 
  Indian 
  is 
  seated 
  in 
  a 
  rustic 
  chair 
  on 
  a 
  river 
  bank, 
  on 
  the 
  right. 
  

   On 
  a 
  rocky 
  bank 
  is 
  a 
  house, 
  and 
  there 
  are 
  three 
  ships 
  beyond.

  Some 
  medals 
  of 
  George 
  2 
  are 
  of 
  special 
  interest. 
  War 
  had 
  no: 
  

   prospered. 
  Pennsylvania 
  had 
  suffered 
  severely, 
  but 
  in 
  1757 
  a 
  pre- 
  

   liminarv 
  treatv 
  was 
  made 
  with 
  the 
  Delawares 
  and 
  Shawnees. 
  The 
  

   Six 
  Nations 
  were 
  balancing 
  between 
  the 
  English 
  and 
  French, 
  and 
  

   great 
  efforts 
  were 
  put 
  forth 
  for 
  their 
  support. 
  So 
  a 
  medal 
  was 
  pre- 
  

   pared 
  in 
  1757, 
  appropriate 
  to 
  the 
  times. 
  On 
  the 
  obverse 
  is 
  a 
  

   laureated 
  bust 
  of 
  George 
  2 
  in 
  armor, 
  with 
  the 
  inscription. 
  

   GEORGIVS. 
  II. 
  DEL 
  GRATIA. 
  On 
  the 
  reverse 
  is 
  the 
  legend. 
  

   in 
  capitals, 
  " 
  Let 
  us 
  look 
  to 
  the 
  Most 
  High, 
  who 
  blessed 
  our 
  father- 
  

   with 
  peace." 
  In 
  exergue, 
  1757. 
  The 
  field 
  has 
  a 
  man 
  seated 
  under 
  

   a 
  tree 
  on 
  the 
  right, 
  offering 
  a 
  calumet 
  to 
  an 
  Indian 
  seated 
  on 
  the 
  

   other 
  side 
  of 
  a 
  council 
  fire. 
  The 
  sun 
  is 
  above 
  the 
  Indian 
  on 
  the 
  

   left. 
  This 
  medal 
  occurs 
  in 
  silver, 
  copper 
  and 
  pewter, 
  and 
  is 
  sup- 
  

   posed 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  first 
  struck 
  in 
  America. 
  It 
  was 
  made 
  for 
  the 
  

   Friendly 
  Association 
  for 
  regaining 
  and 
  preserving 
  peace 
  with 
  the 
  

   Indians.

  This 
  is 
  the 
  one 
  mentioned 
  in 
  the 
  Canadian 
  

   documents. 
  

  

  Two, 
  relating 
  to 
  the 
  conquest 
  of 
  Canada 
  and 
  the 
  capture 
  of 
  Mont- 
  

   real, 
  seem 
  more 
  likely 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  those 
  given 
  by 
  Johnson 
  to 
  the 
  

   Indians 
  in 
  1761 
  than 
  those 
  which 
  Mr 
  McLachlan 
  assigns 
  to 
  that 
  

   period, 
  as 
  they 
  were 
  issued 
  in 
  time 
  and 
  relate 
  to 
  that 
  event. 
  One 
  

   has 
  a 
  laureated 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  monarch, 
  with 
  the 
  inscription, 
  GEORGE 
  

   II. 
  KING. 
  On 
  the 
  reverse 
  is 
  the 
  legend, 
  CANADA 
  SUBDUED.

  A

  tree 
  rises 
  in 
  the 
  center, 
  

   under 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  weeping 
  woman 
  seated 
  on 
  the 
  ground. 
  On 
  the 
  

   left 
  a 
  beaver 
  crawls 
  up 
  the 
  bank.

  Another, 
  issued 
  by 
  the 
  same 
  society, 
  has 
  points 
  of 
  resemblance 
  

   and 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  date. 
  On 
  the 
  obverse 
  is 
  a 
  river 
  god 
  reclining, 
  

   with 
  a 
  bow, 
  quiver 
  and 
  ax 
  below 
  him. 
  A 
  beaver 
  climbs 
  up 
  the 
  

   bank, 
  and 
  overhead 
  is 
  a 
  shield 
  with 
  Amherst's 
  name. 
  The 
  legend 
  

   in 
  capitals 
  is, 
  " 
  The 
  conquest 
  of 
  Canada 
  completed."
