(seq. 3)

By whom this Manuscript was written
I cannot find; all that I know relating to it, is,
that it was captured in the course of the late
War, by a Privateer belonging to this place,
on board an English Ship bound to some port
of America; & having accidentally fallen in-
to my hands, is now presented to the Ame-
-rican Academy of Arts & Sciences, by one of
its members, who always wishes to promote
the interests of that useful Institution, &
who is
most respectfully the Society's
very humble Servant
