TRACTS

RELATING TO THE

ATTEMPTS TO CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY

THE

INDIANS OF NEW ENGLAND.

[THE seven tracts, which are here reprinted, were written by different individuals, interested in the conversion of the Indians to Christianity, and may be relied upon as authentic narratives of the great efforts made by some of the fathers in our Israel for the spiritual welfare of the children of the forest. The authors are the Rev. Messrs. Eliot, Shepard, Whitfield, Mayhew, and Mr. Edward Winslow. Several of these tracts are in the Library of Harvard University. But the Committee are indebted to the kindness of the American Antiquarian Society for the loan of a volume, which contains the entire series, and which, probably, is the only perfect copy in the country.
