Dr. Robertibn's History of

Containing
The biliary of Virginia to the year 1685, and the
of New-England to the year 165 a, be

four editions, and

Mr. Robert Torn in his preface observes,
" During the course ot tedious illness, which he
early forelaw would have a fatal termination, Dr.
R®bertfon at different times deOroyed many of his
papers: But after his » 4 eath, I found that part o
the History t f (Sritifh) America which he had
wrote many*years before, and which is now offer
ed to the public. It is written with his own hand
as all his work? were ; it is as carefully ccrre«Stcd
as any part of his manuscripts which I have ever
fecn ; and he had thought it worthy of being pre
served, as it cfcaped the flames to which so many
other papers had been committed. I read it with
the utaiolt attention; but, {efore I came to an/
refutation about the publication, I put the MSS.
into the hands of some ot those friends whom my
father used to consult on such o<?cafio;is,as it would
havebeen rafhnels and prelumption in pie, to have
trufled to my own partial I* was perr»f
ed by fjme other persons also, in whose tatte and
judgment 1 hava the greateli con6dence : by all of
them I was encouraged to offer i: to the public, as
curious and interefling in itfelf, and not inferior to
any of my father's other works."
7he Editor of the Pa< Edition apostrophizes
the above work in thi following manner.
" Every thing ensures success to this volume
the talents and reputation of the author, and the
impreflion flill recent in the minds|of all who have
