ROGER WILLIAMS OWNED IT
That is What They Think About Bible
at Brown University.

That Is What They Think About a Bible
at Brown University.
WEsTLERY, r. l., May A fine copy
of the famous first edition Of Eliots Indian
Bible has been in the possession of Brown uni
versity for more than 100 years, and from
an investigation that has been concluded it
is decided that Roger Williams was the
owner of this remarkable book. But how
the publication came into possession of the
college library cannot be ascertained.
The work is extremely rare, and readily
brings $1,000 and upward when offered for
sale. Collectors of rare Americana prize it
as a monument of early American typogra-
ply, and as the first version of the Bible
printed in the new world. The book is deil-
Gated TO the High and Mighty Prince,
King Charles the Second" O4ly twenty
copies having this dedication were sent to
England for presentation to the universities
and to prominent men.
A careful examination of the work
shows clearly that It's original owner I'M
derstood the Indian language. Verses Of
special interest are marked in both Testa-
ments, and there are frequent marginal
notes in English, in shorthand, and in
Indian. AT the end are four pages, mostly
of shorthand, although some English and
some Indian is used This handwriting is
now believed, for various reasons, to be
that of Roger Williams. 1t is known that
he was a proficient in shorthand, having
attracted the notice of the great lawyer,
Coke, when lad by his skill in reporting
sermons and speeches. He was the only
man of his time. with the exception Of
Eliot, who could read and speak fuently
the Indian tongue
The discovery has greatly enhanced the
value OF the Bible in the eyes of Rhode
Islanders. Daring the war of the revou-
ton the book was one of the 500 in the Ii
brary, which were removed to WrenJham,
Mass, for safety in the care of the Rev

spur from the main line Of the Rarltan
River railroad across the land of ex-Free-
holder Edward Furman down through tine
brick yards to William f. Fishers

their crossing his land, and
called out his men. The railroad men were
reinforced by brick yard men favorable to
the railroad, until by midnig t 800 men
were engaged in the fight. Flrmans men
attacked the raiiroaders and burned their
ties, material and car. Pistols, clues and
stones were freely used.
