Abstract

"To the courteous reader, (especially the inhabitants of the town of Weathersfield, and Lancaster, in New-England." signed on p. [5]: B.VV. "Errata. In the preface to Mrs. Rowlandson's narrative page 1, line 3, for Thursday read Tuesday."--p. 22. From this it is evident that the present work was issued with Mary Rowlandson's The soveraignty & goodness of God (Boston, 1682; Evans 331). No complete copy of that work is known, though fragmentary leaves are reported at the Massachusetts Historical Society and the Connecticut Historical Society. As well as having been issued together, each work was evidently issued separately. See Vail, R.W.G. The voice of the old frontier, p. 167-168. Ascribed to the press of Samuel Green by Vail.
