Excerpt from An Account of a Plan for Civilizing the North American Indians Proposed in the Eighteenth Century

The following tract, printed probably between 1730 and 1740, contains, so far as I have been able to ascertain, the first proposition looking to a civilization of the Indians, except such as would come with that evangelization, to which all the energies of the missionary attempts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were directed. Of the author of the proposals, John Daniel Hammerer, I can learn nothing, and presume that he never even attempted to carry out his scheme, as here outlined. What is to-day but partly adopted, was, when he wrote, premature, and of necessity unappreciated.
