Sabin 105076: "An introductory essay by the eighteenth-century editor is a plea against the policy of 'cramping' the trade with the colonies, 'which must consequently lessen their importation from Great-Britain.” William Brigham in Mass. Hist. Soc. 'Proceedings,' for Nov. 1862, p. 335, stated that he owned a copy formerly belonging to Dr. Gordon Tufts, on the title page of which was the note in Tufts' handwriting: 'The gift of Nathaniel Rogers, Esq., by whom the Introductory Essay was written, to Cotton Tufts, 1767.' The essay has also been less convincingly attributed to James Otis, on the authority of an inscription in James Bowdoin's copy... The footnotes added in this edition include a comparison of a few words in the Penobscot and St. John’s Indian dialects." Church 444.
