Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse on the Aborigines of the Ohio Valley: In Which the Opinions of Its Conquest in the Seventeenth Century by the Iroquois or Six Nations, Supported by Cadwallader Colden of New York, Gov. Thomas Pownall of Massachusetts, and Judge John Haywood of Tennessee, Are Examined and Contested
Take from the anecdote the intended blow which the superior refinement of modern manners would not tolerate, and how often might it prove a useful example to men holding inferior stations in a republic, to meet the passionate violence of those in power, with moderation and firmness, and thus avert from their country an impending calamity, having its origin either in mistaken policy or designed usurpation of power.
