The history of the Five Indian nations of Canada /

Sabin #14273, Sabin notes: ""The English editor also shows an antipathy to Indian names, suppressing them habitually, striking out important passages, and, instead of the speeches which Colden gives at length, substitutes meagre abridgments. In fact, the whole work is so cut up and altered, that the reader of the English edition cannot be sure he is quoting Colden at all."".; Label of the Library of the Congregation of U.B. of the Borough of Bethlehem and Its Vicinity.
