A letter from the Revd Mr. Sergeant of Stockbridge, to Dr. Colman of Boston containing Mr. Sergeant's proposal of a more effectual method for the education of Indian children; to raise 'em if possible into a civil and industrious people; by introducing the English language among them; and thereby instilling into their minds and hearts, with a more lasting impression, the principles of virtue and piety. Made publick by Dr. Colman at the desire of Mr. Sergeant, with some general account of what the Rev. Mr. Isaac Hollis of ---- has already done for the sons o this Indian tribe of Houssatannoc, now erected into a township by the General Court, and called Stockbridge. [Three lines of Scripture texts]
