Book Description
Excerpt from Library of American Biography, Vol. 5 Of the sources, from which I have drawn the facts for this biographical sketch, some are obvious, and have been before used; to others access has hitherto been had either not at all, or only at second hand. The Col lections of the Massachusetts Historical So ciety, which are full of useful materials for the student of American history, have af forded important aid. These volumes, be sides the account of the apostle Eliot pre pared by his highly respected namesake, the Reverend Dr. John Eliot of Boston, contain scattered facts and documents connected with the subject of this work. I have con sulted the Colony Records, and in a few in stances they have furnished me with facts, which I was glad to obtain.
