AN INQUIRY

INTO THE

AMONG THE

INDIANS OF NORTH-AMERICA;

AND A

COMPARATIVE VIEW

OF THEIR

DISEASES AND REMEDIES WITH THOSE OF CIVILIZED NATIONS.

Read before the AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, held at PHILADELPHIA, on the 4th of February, 1774.

GENTLEMEN,

I rise with peculiar diffidence to address you upon this occasion, when I reflect upon the entertainment you proposed to yourselves from the eloquence of that learned member, Mr. CHARLES THOMPSON, whom your suffrages appointed to this honour after the delivery of the last anniversary oration. Unhappily for the interests of science, his want of health has not permitted him to comply with your appointment. I beg, therefore, that you would forget, for a while, the abilities necessary to execute this task with propriety, and listen with candour to the efforts of a member, whose attachment to the society was the only qualification that entitled him to the honour of your choice.

This INQUIRY was the subject of an Anniversary Oration. The style of an oration is therefore preserved in many parts of it.
