Excerpt from Penhallow's Indian Wars: A Facsimile Reprint of the First Edition, Printed in Boston in 1726, With the Notes of Earlier Editors and Additions From the Original Manuscript Dr. Colman looms larger in the enterprise, than at first appears; he ends his Preface after the manner of his profession with the moral that the tale should teach, having begun it by group ing the historians of New England into two classes, honest and worthy Persons and some learned - an allusion now obscure, but as he speci fically mentions another Indian history, the Decennium I/uctuosum, by the Rev.

Time may have softened many of the asperities of professional life in the Boston of thirteen thousand inhabitants. Dr. Colman was at the height of his popularity; he had declined the presidency of Harvard College and had published twenty-five of the fifty printed sermons listed by Thomas Prince.
