| Item Description: | Reprint of the 1865 edition with a reproduction of the original title page: A relation or iournall of the beginning and proceedings of the English plantation settled at Plimoth in New England, by certaine English aduenturers both merchants and others ... London, Printed for Iohn Bellamie, and are to be sold at his shop at the two Greyhounds in Cornhill neere the Royall Exchange, 1622.
The main part of the narrative was probably written by Edward Winslow. Parts have been attributed to William Bradford. G. Mourt (George Morton?) by whose name the relation is commonly known, seems to have had no other connection with it than that of writing the preface and giving the book to the press. Cf. A. Young. Chronicles of the Pilgrim fathers. Boston, 1841, p. vii-viii; Mourt's relation. A journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth. New York [1963] pages x-xv. |
