[847] [In this separate shape this tract was a reprint with additions from the N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1872. It has a “new map of the Cherokee nation” which it is claimed was drawn by the Indians about 1750, with the names put in by the English. A later map of the region about the Tennessee River above and below Fort Loudon appeared as “A draught of the Cherokee country on the west side of the 24 mountains, commonly called Over the hills, taken by Henry Timberlake, when he was in that country in March, 1762: likewise the names of the principal herdsmen of each town and what number of fighting men they send to war” [809 in all], which appeared in Timberlake’s Memoirs, 1765; and again in Jefferys’ General Topography of North America and West Indies, London, 1768. A copy of Timberlake with the map is in Harvard College library. The above fac-simile is from Harris’s Oglethorpe.—Ed.
[848] [This was reviewed by Sparks in No. Amer. Rev., liii. p. 448.—Ed.]
[849] [The story of the founding of Georgia is necessarily told in general histories of the United States (Bancroft, Hildreth, Gay, etc.), and in articles on Oglethorpe like those in the Southern Quart. Rev., iii. 40, Temple Bar, 1878 (copied into Living Age, no. 1797), and All the Year Round, xviii. 439.—Ed.]
[850] [It was reprinted in London in 1733. Both editions are in Harvard College library. It was again reprinted in the Georgia Hist. Soc. Collections, i. p. 42. Cf. Carter-Brown, iii. no. 494. Grahame (iii. 182) calls it “most ingenious and interesting, though somewhat fancifully colored.” Sabin (Dictionary, xiii. nos. 56, 846) says it is mostly taken from Salmon’s Modern History, 4th ed., iii. p. 700.—Ed.]
[851] [It was issued in two editions in 1733; to the second was added, beginning p. 43, among other matters a letter of Oglethorpe dated “camp near Savannah, Feb. 10, 1732-3,” with another from Gov. Johnson, of South Carolina. It has a plate giving a distant view of the projected town, with emblematic accompaniments in the foreground, and the map referred to on a previous page. There is a copy of the second issue in Charles Deane’s collection. Cf. also Carter-Brown, iii. 511-12. A French translation was issued at Amsterdam in 1737 in the Recueil de Voyages au Nord, vol. ix., with the new map of Georgia, copied from the English edition. The original English was reprinted in the Georgia Hist. Soc. Coll., i. 203.—Ed.]
[852] [When the sermon of Samuel Smith, Feb. 23, 1730-31, was printed in 1733, he added to it Some account of the design of the Trustees for establishing the Colony of Georgia in America, which was accompanied by the map referred to in the preceding note (Carter-Brown, iii. no. 516). The charter of Georgia, as well as those of Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts Bay, is given in A list of Copies of Charters from the Commissioners for Trade and Plantations, presented to the House of Commons, 1740 (London, 1741). It is given in English in Mémoires des Commissaires du Roi, vol. iv. p. 617 (London, 1757). Cf. Mag. of Amer. Hist., Feb., 1883, in “The Sesqui-Centennial of the founding of Georgia.” There is an appendix of documents in a Report of the Committee appointed to examine into the proceedings of the people of Georgia with respect to South Carolina and the disputes subsisting between the two Colonies. Charlestown, 1737. (Carter-Brown, iii. no. 570; Brinley, ii. no. 3886 with date, 1736; the Harvard College copy is also dated, 1736.)—Ed.]
[853] [It is also ascribed to Benj. Martyn. It was reprinted at Annapolis in 1742, and is included in Force’s Tracts, vol. i., and in the Georgia Hist. Soc. Collections, ii. p. 265. Cf. Carter-Brown, iii. no. 685. The original is in Harvard College library. One passage in this tract (Force’s ed., p. 37) reads: “Mr. Oglethorpe has with him Sir Walter Rawlegh’s written journal, and by the latitude of the place, the marks and traditions of the Indians, it is the very first place where he went on shore, and talked with the Indians, and was the first Indian they ever saw; and about half a mile from Savannah is a high mount of earth, under which lies their chief king. And the Indians informed Mr. Oglethorpe that their king desired, before he died, that he might be buried on the spot where he talked with that great good man.” The fact that Ralegh was never in North America somewhat unsettles this fancy.—Ed.]
[854] [It has an appendix of documents, and is reprinted in the Georgia Hist. Soc. Collections, i. 153. Cf. Carter-Brown, iii. no. 686; Barlow, no. 857. A MS. note by Dr. Harris in one of the copies in Harvard College library says that, though usually ascribed to Henry Martyn, he has good authority for assigning its authorship to John Percival, Earl of Egmont.—Ed.]
