I would here, however, recommend to notice a book, written by Ethan Smith, pastor of a church in Poultney in the United States of America, and entitled, 'View of the Hebrews,' &c . , and comprehending accounts of various English, French, Spanish and Portuguese tourists, who diligently inquired into the nature of, and all the particulars relative to the natives—i. e. the aborigines—of that hemisphere. They all coincide in their accounts relative to the primitive settlers of America, (who were ignorantly styled American savages,)—that they were all of one stock, namely, of the ten tribes of Israel, "who were carried away by the Assyrian kings to Halah and Habbor, the river Gozen (or Ganges) and the cities of Medea," who in the space of a short time made their way towards the East of Asia, crossed the ice of Behring's Straits north-east of Asia, and in process of time multiplied and extended themselves all over America from north to south. I would also observe, that though the primitive discoverers of America declared the natives to be savages , because they did not possess letters, and were treated as such by the European savages who conquered them, yet modern tourists find them (by the traditions preserved among the natives) to possess religious principles, sentiments, customs and manners, far surpassing our opinions regarding them; all which affords testimony to their having been once of the Patriarchal seed of Israel.
To give some idea of these aborigines, I shall copy some short passages from the above-mentioned book. The accounts given by numerous tourists all coincide with regard to their origin. Thus respecting their progeniture, they all inform us, agreeably to their traditions, that their primitive parent had twelve sons, of whose descendants they are a portion; -that their forefathers, having transgressed against God, were made captives, and carried off far from their own country; -that 2500 years ago their ancestors left the country of their captivity, proceeded towards the East, crossed a river of hardened water, (viz. Behring's Straits,) and settled themselves in that country (America).
