The sixth, in the morning, was faire weather, and our master sent John Colman, with foure other men in our boate, over to the north-side to sound the other river, being foure leagues from us.

The night came on, and it began to rayne, so that their match went out; and they had one man slaine in the fight, which was an Englishman, named John Colman, with an arrow shot into his throat, and two more hurt. It grew so darke that they could not find the ship that night, but labored to and fro on their oars. They had so great a streame, that their grapnell would not hold them. The seventh

pirit of humanity. Such greetings and shaking of hands! such interchanges of thoughts and opinions! such zeal, and disinterestedness, and faith! Verily it was good to be there! . . . The northeasterly storm which had lasted for several days previous, cleared up finely just as we left Providence, and a glorious sunset and a bright moonlight evening followed. All was tranquil, all happy. In the course of the evening, spirited addresses were made by Wm. M. Chace, Dr. Manford, Alias John Colman. His titulary name, like his anti-slavery profession, was put on (Lib. 10: 111, 131, and Ms. July 16, 1841, Oliver Johnson to W. L. G.) C. M. Burleigh, Samuel J. May, N. P. Rogers, and J. A.

and Some considerations on the bills of credit now passing in New England (1691). These were anonymous Massachusetts publications of ephemeral merit. In the eighteenth century there were several well-defined periods of active discussion in Massachusetts, centring respectively about the years 1714, 1720, and 1740. These pamphlets were reprinted in four volumes in 1911 by the Prince Society of Boston under the editorship of McFarland Davis. Among the disputants were men like John Wise, John Colman, Hugh Vance, and Richard Frye—clergymen, business men, and visionaries. Far and away the ablest was the learned physician, Dr. William Douglass (1692-1742), who wrote An essay concerning silver and paper more especially with regards to the British colonies in New England (1738) and a Discourse concerning the Currencies of the British Plantations in America, especially with regard to their paper money (1740). The currency debate was not confined to Massachusetts. In 1729 there appeare

ton. As this is the first example of the kind in that town, and introduced by a gentleman of so worthy and respectable a character, we doubt not it will acquire imitation. Rev. John Cotton of Newton, in a letter dated Nov. 7, 1717, and preserved in the library of the Mass. Hist. Soc., says that at the funeral of Hon. Andrew Belcher, All the ministers there had scarves and gloves. They say 50 suits of cloaths were made. All first cousins, Remington, Blowers, &c., put into mourning. John Colman, Caswell, &c., all that had been apprentices to him, were also. 90 dozen of gloves were bought, and none of any figure but what had gloves sent 'em. A bill of expenses at the funeral of Col. Edmund Goffe, in October, 1740, remains on file in the Probate Office; it was rendered by Edmund Trowbridge, Esq., grand nephew of the deceased. Among the charges are these:— To 5 pair of gloves at 7s. 6d., and a mourning weed,£1176 To a pair of shoe buckles, 6s., knee buckles, 4s. 6d., black

ey were friendly, but thievish, and crafty in carrying away what they fancied. The woods, it was specially noticed, abounded in goodly oakes, and from that day the new comers never ceased to admire the greatness of the trees. On the sixth, John Colman and four others, in a boat, sounded the Narrows, and passed through Kill van Kull to Newark bay. The air was very sweet, and the land as pleasant with grass and flowers and trees, as they had ever seen; but on the return, the boat was attacked by two canoes and Colman killed by an arrow. On Wednesday, the ninth, Hudson moved cautiously from the lower bay into the Narrows, and on the eleventh, by aid of a very light wind, he went into the great river of the north, and rode all night in a harbor, which was safe against every wind. On the morning of the twelfth, the natives, in eight and twenty canoes, crowded about him, bringing beans and very good oysters. The day was fair and warm, though the light wind was from the north; and
