Sampul Depan
T. H. Webb, 1843 - 270 halaman
"It has, for several years, been the desire and intention of the Rhode-Island Historical Society to cause 'Callender's Historical Discourse', with appropriate notes and a selection of documents requisite for its illustration, to be embodied in their published collections. The original edition of the 'Discourse', which was published in 1739, has long been out of print."--Page vii of Preface
