I have been long waiting in hopes that some of my people, who have received an Eng fiiah education, would have undertaken the work as to give a sketch of the Ancient History of the Six Nations but found no one seemed to concur in the matter, after some hesitation I determined to commence the work but found the history involved with fables and be sides, examining myself, finding so small educated that it was impossible for me to compose the work without much difficulty. After various reasons I abandoned the idea I however, took up a resolution to continue the work, which I have taken much pains procuring the materials, and translating itinto English language. I have endeavored to throw some light.
