London, Printed for I. Bellamie, and are to be sold at his shop at the Two greyhounds in Cornhill neere the Royall exchange. 1622. "To the reader" (p. [13]-[14]) signed; G. Movrt. The main part of the narrative was probably written by William Bradford and Edward Winslow. G. Mourt (George Morton?) by whose name the relation is commonly known, seems to have had no other connection with it than that of writing the preface and giving the book to the press. Cf. Young, A. Chronicles of the Pilgrim fathers, Boston, 1841, p. [109]-249. "Certaine vsefvl advertisements sent in a letter written by a discreete friend vnto the planters in New England, at thier first setting saile from Southampton" (p. [19]-[22]) signed: I. R.
