"I Thought a Session of the General Assembly absolutely necessary at this , that you might advise such measures as will best secure the five Nations of Indians in their Obedience to the Crown, which all of you know is of the consequence to this, and all the rest of the English America. Our Neighbours of Canada know the value of the to us, and therefore with indefatigable Pains are every day seducing them from us by their Jesuits; and 'tis said, that such as will not be seduced, are many of 'em taken off by Poyson. I will order the Testimonies I have of these wicked Practions to be laid before you, which I believe will convince you of the truth of them." This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
