Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civilization of the Indian Natives; Or, a Brief View of the Friendly Conduct of William Penn, Toward Them in the Early Settlement of Pennsylvania: The Subsequent Care of the Society of Friends in Endeavouring to Promote Peace and Friendship With Them by Pacific Measures; And a Concise Narrative of the Proceedings of the Yearly Meeting of Friends, of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Parts Adjacent, Sinc Our readers have, no doubt, perused with satisfaction the numbers which have appeared from time to time in this periodical, respecting 1 the Seneca Indians their habits, superstitions, c.The facts which these articles embraced, were rendered the more interesting-, by the late difficulties which had been manifested between the United States, and several southern and western tribes, upon the subject of their lands, and the right by which they held them in possession. Since the conclusion of these interesting numbers, we have been favoured by the writer with a more enlarged and particular narration, respecting the situation of the Indians, in the early settlement of this country - in which a concise view is presented of the proceedings of William Penn, in relation to them at the period of the first settlement of Pennsylvania. A very particular description is also given of the proceedings of the Yearly Meeting of Friends of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, c.touching the means adopted to increase their happiness, and improve their moral and physical condition. Many speeches, highly characteristic and beautiful, delivered by distinguished chiefs, in council, will be found interspersed through the narrative. Having concluded, in our last number, the works of William Shewed, we think we cannot better occupy, for a few weeks, the pages heretofore devoted to that work, than by appropriating them to the interesting subject, of which the above is an outline, and which the writer has kindly given us permission to publish. It may then be preserved in the same manner as the works just completed, and will form a small but valuable book for all classes.
