The Affinity betwixt the Language of the Americans of the Terra Firma, and these of the ancient Britains, is proved. The Scripture-Account of Things is confirm'd.

As also, a collection of papers, In which the Proceedings of the Honourable Society of Improvers, the Honourable and Learned Faculty of Advocates, some General Assemblies, their Commissions and Committees, and the Testimonies of some learned Men about this affair, are represented.
