This pretended American MS. is in reality a child's copy-book, full of rude drawings by a dirty-minded German school-boy, which having fallen into the hands of a missionary in the wilds of America, and by him been presented to the Marquis de Paulmy, has been taken by the worthy Abbé to be a genuine pictographic MS. Its German origin is established by the fact, that on page 64 the word "wurst," on 185 "Johann," and 119 "Konig," are plainly written. In consequence of the discovery of its real character, the book has been withdrawn from circulation.

The author of this tract was Rev. Benjamin Doolittle, who died at Northfield on the 9th of January, 1749.

In a genealogical memoir of the Doolittle family in Vol. 6 of the N. E. Hist. and Gen. Register, p. 294-5, it is said:

"This is a tract of much importance in the history of Massachusetts, especially as it details some events not elsewhere to be found; a period about which much less is known of our history than is known of the corresponding period a hundred years earlier. It is a work of great rarity, but a single copy having ever come under the knowledge of the writer, who has spent many years in collecting rare tracts on the history of New England."
