Thomas Prince says: In 1720 came out Mr. Neal's History of New Engiand, which I was giad to see, and pleased with both his spirit, style and method. And though he has fallen into many mistakes which are commonly known to us, some of which he seems to der1ve from Mr. Oldmixon's New Engiand, yet, considering the materials this worthy writer was confined to, and that he was never here, it seems to me scarce possible that any under his disadvantages should form a better. In comparing him with the authors from which he draws, I am surprised to see the pains he has taken to put the materials in such a regular order. And to me it seems as if many parts of his work can not be rr.ended." Chronology of New England.
