"This letter to Lord George Grenville, if not the most elegant or the most
correct of our late political disquisitions, is one of the most solid and most
intelligent, and is evidently the produce of no vulgar pen, no ill-instructed
hand. It is intended as an answer to some publications in defence of

Mr. Grenville's ministerial measures." M. R.

Without printer's name, year, or place, but dated at the end, Mexico, Dec. 25, 1767; at which place, and at about that time, there can be no doubt of its having been printed. It is signed Joseph de Galvez, apparently a different person from the minister of the same name who was sent to Mexico a few years later, to settle a dispute between the Viceroy and the Audiencia. The expedition to which the present work relates was undertaken to take preparatory measures for expelling the Jesuits.

1768.

This journal, though chiefly of a religious cast, is enlivened with many
agreeable notes and circumstances relating to the manners and customs
of the Delaware Indians, who, from certain similar customs and some tra-
ditions among them, the author conjectures to be the descendants of the
ten tribes of Israel, which has also been suggested in regard to the natives
of other parts of America.
