Edition Notes

An almost verbal transcript of John Lawson's A new voyage to Carolina, which was first printed in serialized form under title "A new voyage to Carolina" as part of "A new collection of voyages and travels", compiled by John Stevens from 1708-1710, and printed in cumulation in London, 1711 and issued separately in London, 1709. Cf. North American review, v. 23, p. 288-289.

A reissue of the edition of 1737 with a new title page printed in red and black and with the list of subscribers but without the four-page dedication.

List of subscribers: p. vii-xv.

"Some few words of the Indian language", p. 407, contains numbers, and general vocabulary and phrases in the English, Tuskeruro [i.e. Tuscarora, a language in the Iroquois family spoken by a tribe in New York State and Ontario], Pamticoe [a language spoken by the Pamlico Indians, who lived in Virginia], and Woccon languages [as spoken by a Siouan tribe near Piedmont, North Carolina]. This list is a highly truncated form of the glossary in John Lawson's A new voyage to Carolina.
