Besides his Bible, Eliot published at Cambridge in 1664 a translation of Baxter's _Call to the Unconverted_, and in 1665 an abridged translation of Bishop Bayly's _Practice of Piety_. With the assistance of his sons he completed (1664) his well-known Indian Grammar Begun, printed at Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1666. It was reprinted in vol. ix. of the _Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society_. _The Indian Primer_, comprising an exposition of the Lord's Prayer and a translation of the Larger Catechism, was published at Cambridge in 1669, and was reprinted under the editorial superintendence of Mr John Small of the university of Edinburgh in 1877. In 1671 Eliot printed in English a little volume entitled _Indian Dialogues_, followed in 1672 by his _Logick Primer_, both of which were intended for the instruction of the Indians in English. His last translation was Thomas Shepard's _Sincere Convert_, completed and published by Grindal Rawson in 1689. Eliot's literary activity, however, extended into other fields than that of Indian instruction. He was, with Richard Mather, one of the editors of the _Bay Psalm Book_ (1640). Several tracts written wholly or in part by him in the nature of reports to the society which supported his missions were published at various times in England. In 1660 he published a curious treatise on government entitled _The Christian Commonwealth_, in which he found the ideal of government in the ancient Jewish state, and proposed the reorganization of the English government on the basis of a numerical subdivision of the inhabitants. His _Harmony of the Gospels_ (1678) was a life of Jesus Christ. BIBLIOGRAPHY.--An account of Eliot's life and work is contained in Williston Walker's _Ten New England Leaders_ (New York, 1901). There is a "Life of John Eliot," by Convers Francis, in _Sparks' American Biography_, vol. v. (New York, 1853); another by N. Adams (Boston, 1847); and a sketch in Cotton Mather's _Magnalia_ (London, 1702). For a good account of his publications in the Indian language see the chapter on "The Indian Tongue and its Literature," by J.H. Trumbull, in vol. i. of the _Memorial History of Boston_ (1882). (W.
