Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Sketch of the Efforts of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends to Promote Civilization and Improvement of the Indians: Also, of the Present Condition of the Tribes in the State of New York At a meeting of the Committee of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting for the improvement and civilization of the Indian Natives, held 8th month 22d, 1866: A brief sketch of the efforts of Friends of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting to improve the condition of the Indians; and also of the present situation of the tribes in the State of New York, having been prepared and submitted to us, it was read, and being approved, it is directed to be printed for general circulation. Signed on behalf and by direction of the aforesaid Committee; Note. - The following pages have been drawn up chiefly with a view of conveying to the members of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends, the interesting information respecting the present condition of the Indians in the State of New York, derived from the Report of a deputation appointed to visit them by the Indian Committee of this Yearly Meeting. It is published in the hope that it may increase the interest of Friends in the welfare of this people, who have strong claims on our sympathy and kindness. As it will be likely to come under the notice of persons not members of our Society, it seemed necessary to give a short sketch of the rise and progress of the concern in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, for the welfare of this people. It is proper, however, to state that this concern was by no means limited to Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. It pervaded the whole Society in England and America. Friends in England contributed a large amount to aid it; and we believe almost all the Yearly Meetings of Friends on this continent have Standing Committees engaged in the prosecution of this benevolent work, among different tribes of Indians; and carrying on their labors upon the same pacific and Christian principles.
