PBEFACE TO THE SEVENTH VOLUME. 
The Author trusts, however, that respecting the history 
of the interesting race which he has detailed, he has not led 
his readers into any grave errors, since very many traits of 
their several characters are given from his own personal ob¬ 
servation, and the remainder from sources of unquestionable 
authority.
