Memoirs of the Life and Character of Rev. John Eliot: Apostle of the N. An. Indians. E-book. Formato PDF Martin Moore   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

Trm Compiler of this little work, being sta tioned on the ground, where Eliot planted his first Indian Church, and organized his first In dian town, has naturally felt a deep interest in his character. I have looked through most of the publications that treat of the early history of new-england, collected what facts] could concerning him, and arranged them in the or der in which they will be found in the follow ing pages. I have related them principally in the language of Eliot himself and his contem poraries. The phraseology may, perhaps, be considered, as antiquated and repulsive to the refinements of modern taste; but I presume that many readers will not be displeased to see the aged Eliot, clothed in the garb of his own times.
