 gan the study of the Natick Indian language when forty-two 
 
years of age ; and having acquired a knowledge of it expressed 
 a desire to translate the Scriptures into it for the use of the 
 natives, among whom he acted as a Missionary. Aided by an 
 Indian who had been taught the art of printing, he completed the 
 translation of the Old and New Testament, in 1658, after a labor 
 of eight years. The fact having been made known to the London 
 Society for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Indians of 
 New England, by Governor Endicott, in a letter dated Decem- 
 ber 28, 1658, that body at once agreed to bear the expense of 
 printing fifteen hundred copies of the New Testament. The

 quoh," signifying " Kneeling down to him."

 '' Why this, the First Book in the language of the Five 
 Nations, was printed at Boston instead of New York, — or by 
 whom the translation was made, — Mather does not inform us. 
 It was probably written by Rev. Thorowgood Moor, who was sent 
 out by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in 1704, to 
 labor for the conversion of the Mohawks. He remained nearly 
 a year at Albany, and visited the Mohawks at their * Castle,' 
 but could not obtain their consent to his establishment of a 
 mission among them. Before Nov. 1705 he returned to New 
 York, and shortly afterwards went to Burlington, N. J., to supply 
 the place of the Rev. John Talbot (another Missionary of the 
 Society). Here Mr. Moor gave offence by refusing to admit the 
 Lieut-Gov. (Ingoldsby) to the Lord's Supper, and was punished 
 by imprisonment. Having contrived to escape, he fled to Boston, 
 and in Nov. 1707 took passage for England, from Marblehead. 
 The vessel, with all on board, was lost at sea."

 Mourt's " Relation " is another of those books usually catalogued 
 as " the chief corner stone " of a library of Americana, and as it is 
 one of the earliest accounts of New England history, it is not easy 
 to overestimate its importance. But its value is not greater than 
 the difficulty of procuring the book in good condition. It was 
 evidendy very popular at the time of its publication, and received 
 careless usage. It was written by William Bradford and Edward 
 Winslow and was sent to George Mourt (or Morton) in London, 
 for publication.

 cannot offend me, — you never offended me. If you had ever 
 given me the least shadow of offence, so pardon me my God, as 
 I forgive Clarinda. I have read yours again : it has blotted my 
 paper. Tho^ I find your letter has agitated me into a violent 
 headache, I shall take a chair and be with you about eight. A 
 friend is to be with us at tea, on my account, which hinders me 
 from coming sooner. Forgive my dearest, my unguarded ex- 
 pressions. — For Heaven's sake, forgive me, or I shall never be 
 able to bear my own mind.

 " I met you, my dear Clarinda, by far the first of womankind, at 
 least to me, I esteemed, I loved you at first sight, both of which 
 attachments you have done me the honour to return. The longer 
 I am acquainted with you, the more innate amiableness and 
 worth I discover in you. You have suffered a loss, I confess, for 
 my sake ; but if the firmest, steadiest, warmest friendship ; if 
 
21 
 
 «very endeavour to be worthy of your friendship; if a love, 
 strong as the ties of nature, and holy as the duties of religion; 
 if all these can make anything like a compensation for the evil I 
 have occasioned you ; if they be worth your acceptance, or can 
 in the least add to your enjoyments, — so help Sylvander, ye 
 Powers above, in his hour of need, as he freely gives these all to 
 Clarinda ! 
 
 " I esteem you, I love you, as a friend ; I admire you, I love 
 you, as a woman, beyond any one in all the circle of creation. 
 
 " I know I shall continue to esteem you, to love you, to pray for 
 you, nay, to pray for myself for your sake. 
 
 " Expect me at eight ; and believe me to be ever, my dearest 
 Madam, yours most entirely,

 A Collection of Engraved Por-

 The first authentic portrait of Washington was painted by Charles 
 Willson Peale, and the most celebrated portraits are those painted 
 by Gilbert Stuart. 
 
 Other portraits have been painted by various artists as follows : 
 
 Alexander Cambell, 1775. Archibald Robertson, 1791. 
 
 Du Simiterre, 1779. Giuseppi Ceracchi, 1792. 
 
 William Dunlap, 1783. Williams, 1794. 
 
 Joseph Wright, 1782-90. Walter Robertson, 1795. 
 
 Robert Edge Pine, 1785. Samuel Folwell, 1795. 
 
 Houdon, 1785. Wertmuller, 1795. 
 
 James Peale, 1788-1795. Gilbert Stuart, 1795-6.

 These portraits have been engraved for different purposes, large

 This collection is made up of 360 engravings from portraits by 
 these artists, 244 of which are fully described in " Baker's Engraved 
 Portraits of Washington." 
 
 Among the collection over 100 are not mentioned in " Baker," and 
 comprise a large portion which have been produced since the book 
 was printed, including a few early ones. The one here reproduced 
 in this catalogue, being unique, but similar to the description of No. 
 431, which might have been a copy, as this was published "Feb. 
 26, 1 80 1, by John Fairburn, 146 Minories, London," and measures 
 I2|- by 9J inches.
