Notes
Originally issued in numbers: v. 1, Jan. 1747-May 1749; v. 2, April 1750-Aug. (?) 1752; left unfinished at the author's death in October 1752
To v. 2 of this copy is prefixed the t.p. of "no. 4...Vol. II" with imprint, "Boston, Printed and sold by Daniel Fowle...1750." There are many references in v. 2 to the year 1752 (cf.p. 394, 395, 399, 412, etc.)
This copy, along with all other recorded copies of the Summary, lacks the three maps called for in v. 2, p. 20-21
Sections concerning North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, noted on p.ii, v. 1, are not found in this work. The second volume ends at p. 416 (end of section XVI, Virginia.)
"A digression concerning the smallpox": v. 2, p. 392-414
Terminology Note
Toronto Public Library recognizes that the term “Indians,” used in subject headings such as “Indians of North America,” is offensive to many people. Although we currently maintain these headings to adhere to descriptive standards used by libraries worldwide, we and other Canadian libraries are working to replace them with ones that are acceptable to Indigenous Peoples in Canada
