Worcester: From the Press of Isaiah Thomas Jun. 1810. 2 vols., 8vo, pp. 487; 576. Half blue morocco, gilt top, UNCUT. Two FINE PORTRAITS of the AUTHOR inserted.. This valuable work, written and published in advance of the time, met with no favour, and was quickly forgotten. Shortly after its issue the remainder of the edition was purchased, on a venture, by the late W. Gowans and an associate, at twenty-five cents per volume in the sheets, and an arrangement made with a bookbinder to put the stock into boards, the whole of which, with the exception of a copy that Mr. Gowans had retained for himself, was returned cut down almost to the head-lines; an incident to which Mr. Gowans never referred without an emphatic expression of indignation. This copy was bound from the sheets so reserved, and which, for many years Mr. Gowans refused to exhibit, or to part with, at any price. It is clean and fresh as when published, and there is no finer copy extant. THOMPSON (B. F.) The History of Long Island; from its Discovery and Settlement, to the Present Time.

THOROVVGOOD (T.) | Jevvs In America, | or, | Probabilities | That the Americans are of that Race. | With the Removal of some contrary reasonings and earnest de- | sires for effectuall endeavours to make them Christian. | Proposed by Tho: Thorovvgood, B.D. one of the Assembly of Divines. | ... . | London, Printed by W.

Mr. Field remarks: "This is the first dissertation in English, on that fertile subject of controversy and hypothesis, the origin of the American Indians. The Puritans of New England awoke to it with a zeal, untempered by the knowledge that keener intellects and higher scholarship, had been stimulated by its attractive mystery a century before. They seem to have been unaware that Las Casas, Torquemada, Garcia, and Herrera, Grotius, Horn, and De Laet, had wrought the vein until all the metal was exhausted. But a new cycle of disputation now commenced, and in 1652, Thorowgood's treatise was answered by Harmon L'Estrange, in a tract entitled Americans no Jews. London, 1652." Thorowgood made his replication in the following work. THOROWGOOD. | Jews | In | America, Or | Probabilities, that those Indians are Judaical, made more probable by some Ad- ditionals to the former Conjectures. | An Accurate Discourse is premised of Mr. John Elliot, (who first preached the Gospel | to the Natives in their own Language) touching | their Origination, and his Vindication of the Planters..... | Tho.

Uniform with the preceding No. The title to this volume has, by some, been thought to be a facsimile, it will therefore be sold without reference to the genuineness of the title-page. "The first work of Thorowgood printed in 1650, was sharply answered by Harmon L'Estrange. To recover the ground from which he had been driven, Thorowgood brought to his aid the Indian apostle Eliot, and their essays are joined in this replication."-Field. ...

"That which raised him (Tickell) to immediate celebrity was his admirable political pamphlet, called Anticipation; in which, with the most successful humour, he imitated the manner of the principal speakers in parliament, and defeated the force of the arguments of the opposition by pre-occupying them.”—Chalmers' Biog. Dict, It may not be uninteresting to add that Tickell believed in anticipation; he committed suicide. [TICKELL.] The Green Box of Mademoiselle Du The's Lodgings. Edition.
