| Item Description: | The Swedish missionary was Jonas Aurén, whose letter from Conestoga of Jan. 13, 1699/1700, including the Indian speech, was printed in Latin in Grönwall, Anders, praeses. ... Dissertatio gradualis, de plantatione ecclesiae Svecanae in America, quam ... sistit Tobias E. Biörck. Upsaliae, [1731]. The text of the Indian chief's speech appears in the American magazine for March 1741, printed at Philadelphia by Andrew Bradford. It is there stated that the sermon and speech were delivered about 1690, and that the Indian chief's speech "we happened to meet with in a Latin book lately publish'd in Sweden, entitled the History of the Swedish Church in America." Bristol supplies the imprint [Philadelphia: A. Bradford, 1715]. It seems unlikely, however, that the present edition was printed before 1741. Text in two columns. Electronic resource. |
