The history of the Five Indian Nations of Canada

which are dependent on the province of New-York in America and are the barrier between the English and French in that part of the world : with particular accounts of their religion, manners, customs, laws and forms of government : their several battles and treaties with the European nations, their wars with the other Indians, and a true account of the present state of our trade with them : in which are shewn the great advantage of their trade and alliance to the British nation and the intrigues and attempts of the French to engage them from us : a subject nearly concerning all our American plantations and highly meriting the attention of the British nation at this juncture
