Excerpt from Discourse Before the Society of the Sons of New England of the City and County of Philadelphia, on the History of the Early Settlement of Their Country: Being Their First Anniversary; Delivered December 21, 1844 Historical ora'i'ions, such as the one now offered to the pub lic, under the auspices of the Society of the Sons of New England in the City and County of Philadelphia, can be nothing other than a condensation of annals long since known to the public. In the present case, my information of the first settlement of New Eng land is derived from the numerous histories, contemporaneous and subsequent, with which that event is so richly supplied. And in fol lowing them, while composing a work so ephemeral as this, I have often used, I think, the thoughts and words of the author, without stopping to note the authority. It is sufficient for me to state gene rally, that Ihave consulted Young's Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers, Hutchinson's History of Massachusetts, Thatcher's Plymouth, Cotton Mather's various works, Knowles' Life of Roger Williams, History of Connecticut by a Gentleman of the Province, London Edition, Hazard's State Papers, and some other writers. All the information I could compress into a few pages, for an hour's reading, is blended and narrated in my own way, without special acknowledgment to any one.
