19P. A scarce item printed here for the first time in a small run dealing with the accusation that the Indians were made drunk before the transaction of land took place. Roger Williams reply was one of the few where his anger poured forth. While parts of this diatribe were published in Backus' History of the Baptists in New England in 1777, it was not until the document was acquired nearly two centuries later that the full item could be printed for the first time. Withdrawn from the Long Island Historical Society, no marks and all pages clean free of underlining.
