Miseries of New England: A Sixth Collection of Papers Relating to the Present Juncture of Affairs in England.
London: Richard Janeway, 1689. 8vo. 36 pp., Unbound. Condition: some light browning and foxing; some lifting of the front page, minor loss to final leaf. Includes: ''A Narrative of the Miseries of New England by reason of an Arbitrary Government Erected there." [Pp. 29-32 , no. X]. This tract was first printed at Boston separately in December 1688, and a few weeks later appeared as No. X in this Sixth Part of Janeway's "Collection of Papers." The paper “relates to the attempt to take away from the New England colonies by Quo Warranto and other proceedings the 'ancient Rights and Priviledges' which they had enjoyed under their charters. Complaint is made of the arbitrary acts of Sir Edmund Andros… [Mather's] paper contains a copy of the Petition to the King (probably drawn up by Mather), of John Gibson and George Willow on behalf of their neighbours the inhabitants of Cambridge and New England asking for relief; also another petition by Increase Mather and two New England clergymen" (Church). Holmes describes six later editions, and devotes 12 pages to a description and discussion of this important work.
