- Used
Boston: J. Boyle, 1775. 12mo. Second American edition preceded by the extremely rare 1677 first issue. ix, 288 pages. This work was reissued in this abridged edition just a month after Lexington and includes rhetoric about the undermanned colonists overcoming the powerful Indians. It further notes: "we...have been called to defend our lives and properties against the distant savages." Howes calls it "a corner-stone authority on the subject." It wrongly numbers p. 209 instead of 206 as is called for in all other references. It adds on p. 195 following "A supplement concerning the war with the Pequods in the year 1637. OCLC notes: "the subsequent editions are all copies of that of Boyle, or copies of those from his." S.G. Drake, preface of Hubbard, 1865, p. xii. Bound in a modern 1/4 light brown leather over marbled paper covered baords, renewed endpapers, some toning, finger soiling or spots of foxing to pages. A very nice copy. [ Howes H-756].

Description:
Norwich, [Conn.]: printed by John Trumbull, 1802. 228pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Contemporary calf-backed paper boards. 228pp. 1 vols. 12mo. A later edition of this famous account of the wars between Indians and colonists in 17th-century New England. Hubbard was born in England and came to the colonies in 1635, eventually becoming pastor of the church in Ipswich, Massachusetts. He was closely involved in the government of the colony during King Philip's War, and this work, along with those of Increase and Cotton Mather, is the best and fullest account of the events of the struggle in Massachusetts. Hubbard and Increase Mather differed with each other on a number of points, and this book seems to have ignited the envy of the latter. "[Hubbard] was distinguished, in an age and country of bigots, for his liberality, moderation, and piety, and his narrative has always been regarded as authoritative by historians" (Church). "A cornerstone authority on the field" (Howes). Sabin 33449; Howes H756
