Excerpt from A Bibliography of the English Colonial Treaties With the American Indians: Including a Synopsis of Each Treaty Many of the records of the Various treaties With the Indians exist only in manuscript; some have been printed in the Journals of the Governors and Councilsor in the Votes and Proceedings of the legislative bodies; while others were separately printed. It is the object of this monograph to locate and describe such as Were separately printed. A very brief synopsis of the contents of each treaty is given, and also the loca tion of copies in the principal libraries and private collections. It is quite probable that they were printed in very small editions, Which would account for their rarity at the present time. That they are rare is dem onstrated by the fact that only one public library in the country contains one-third of the number of titles re corded in this monograph, while thirteen titles are known by only a single copy. And of two no copy is known to exist in America. To see the ones described it has been necessary to Visit the various libraries in Boston, Worcester, New York, Philadelphia, and Chi cago. Seventeen public libraries and seven private collections have been examined and the copies located in them are recorded herein.
