Excerpt from Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. 4 Journal of a Visit to the Oneida Indians. In the pres ent volume will be found selections from Dr. Belknap's familiar correspondence from 1766 to 1798, numerous letters which came into his possession while engaged in the preparation of the History of New Hampshire, and a minute account of the difficulties between him and his parish at Dover, N. H., together with other papers of his torical or biographical interest. Unfortunately, Dr. Belknap kept Copies Of but few Of his letters to personal friends; and much of his corre spondence which probably remains has not been recovered. From references in the letters sent to him, and from the occasional rough drafts preserved by him, as well as from the correspondence with Mr. Hazard, it is evident that he was a very interesting and suggestive letter writer, and the loss or disappearance Of so many of his own let ters must be greatly regretted. The letters given to him for their historical interest and value relate for the most part to the state of the country just before the Revolu tion, and are well worth preserving. The narrative of the troubles at Dover is believed to be the most minute and trustworthy document Of the kind now existing; but the circumstances of the case were not peculiar, and it is known that in many other parishes the depreciation Of the paper currency, during the Revolution and after peace was won, produced a similar state Of affairs.
