 Every book is more or less a confession of egotism, but when the 
 work contains little beside a schedule of the author's personal prop- 
 erty, it needs something more than the usual prefatory apology, for 
 his exculpation. Few readers will be interested in his plea for con- 
 donement of his offense, and fewer stUl will care to learn, that his 
 work had its origin, in motives more honorable than ostentatious 
 display. 
 
 A general catalogue of works illustrative of the history, literature, 
 and archasology of the Aborigines of both Americas, had been in 
 progress of composition for several years, as a guide to the author's 
 collection of that class of books. As it grew in proportions, by the 
 slow accretions which study and experience furnished, the author's 
 vanity was easily flattered into the design of produciag a work of 
 more general utility. The material collected at length covered so 
 wide a range, that it embraced not only transcripts of the titles of 
 such printed works as were personally examined, or were to be 
 found in catalogues of public and private libraries, with a collation 
 of their pages, and synopses of their contents, but also the titles of 
 articles upon the same subjects, printed in reviews, historical collec- 
 tions, magazines, and other ephemera. More than two thousand 
 five hundred separate works, and twelve hundred essays, had been 
 catalogued, with their topical range noted, before the vast extent of 
 the unexplored territory to be examined, began to exhibit some of 
 its formidable proportions. It was plainly demonstrated, that the 
 projected task must be either abandoned or greatly abridged. That 
 portion of the task which could be most readily detached and wrought 
 into unity, was the catalogue of works on the American Aborigines, 
 in the author's possession. To determine the selection of works 
 which should be included in that category, they have been subjected 
 to a few simple rules of classification. 
 
 AU works which purported in their titles to contain historic, nar- 
 rative, or literary material, relating to the American Indians. 
 
iv Preface. 
 
 Books in which any distinct portion, chapter, or appendix claimed 
 by its heading, or table of contents to be devoted to that subject. 
 
 Works containing engravings, illustrative of the manners and 
 peculiarities of the aborigines, when derived from actual observation. 
 
 All treatises, or essays, upon their origin, or the pre-Columbian 
 discovery of America, as affecting the source of its population. 
 
 Those works of fiction or poetry founded on Indian life, to which 
 were appended historical notes, incidents of personal experience, or 
 traditions and legends, of the Indians. 
 
 AH works containing grammatical analyses, or vocabularies of 
 their language, as well as translations, into or from them, would of 
 course form a part of the collection. 
 
 In a limited number of cases, marked with a star (*), books not 
 actually in the author's collection have been admitted to the cata- 
 logue. This exceptional adoption has been made to complete the 
 bibliographical history of those series of works of which the library 
 contained only a portion, and thus afford the collector a full view of 
 such treatises as complete any section of the subject. 
 
 In a few cases, the titles have been much abbreviated, but only 
 when they formed a complete table of contents to the work, or a 
 feeble prolixity of matters foreign to the subject of the catalogue.

 Father Acosta, a native of Medina del Campo, entered the Society of Jesus at 
 the age of fourteen, and in 1571 when thirty-one years old, became the 
 deputy provincial of Peru. He died at S.ilamanca in 1600, having passed 
 the greater part of the intervening years in America. His vi'ork has been 
 justly esteemed for its intrinsic merit, indubitable evidence of which is 
 found in the fact that it has been translated into almost every language of 
 Europe having a literature. Books V., VI., and VII. pp. 327 to 590, are 
 entirely devoted to a relation of the history, customs and warves of the 
 Indians. This portion of the work is replete with the most curious details 
 of the Aborigines, before their peculiar customs had become modified by 
 contact with the whites. Although he was one of the earliest, yet he was 
 one of the most curious and accurate observers of the customs and peculi- 
 arities of the Aborigines who have attempted to describe them. Scarcely 
 a trait which has excited the attention of the historian or the narrator in 
 the three centuries which have elapsed, has escaped his observation and 
 description. Perfect copies of the English edition are quite rare, but the 
 others are often sold at very low rates.

 ["Joseph Acosta of the Society of Jesus. Natural History of the New 
 World, in two books. And of the Promulgation of the Gospel among the 
 Savages ; with the method of securing the salvation of the Indians ; In Six 
 Books."] 
 
 This is an entirely distinct work from the Historia Natural printed at Seville 
 in 1590, and translated into almost every language of Europe. Books one 
 and two were subsequently enlarged to the Natural History, but at page 
 99 the title " De Procuranda Salvte Indorum " announces another work 
 which has never been printed in English. All the remainder of the volume 
 is devoted to a description of the methods by which the Indians of the New 
 World were to be brought into the dominion of the Christian Church. All 
 the difficulties are investigated. Their idolatries, their superstitions, their 
 rites, their customs, their love of warfare, and the chase, their licentious- 
 ness, and their savage habits, are all described, and the various means by 
 which the rites of the Christian discipline can be made to control them dis- 
 cussed. Pinelo claims that this portion of Acosta's work was taken from 
 the MSS. of a Dominican monk named Diego Duran. This is the second 
 edition, the first having been printed at Salamanca the year previous. The 
 six books relating to the Indians are divided into 130 chapters with subject 
 headings.

 Although it cannot be claimed for this author that he ranked first in priority 
 of time, his name is first on our alphabetical register of a great number of 
 writers whose imagination has been struck by the astonishing coincidence 
 of many particulars of the customs and religious rites of some of the Ameri- 
 can Nations with those of the Jews. The relations of an intelligent ob- 
 server (as this Indian trader seems to have been), for so long a period as 
 forty years, of the peculiarities of the Southern Indians, among whom he 
 resided for that period, is not without great value ; although we should have 
 reason to hold it in still greater esteem, had the author cherished no favorite 
 dogma to establish, or detested any which he wished to destroy.

 This work is the result of such a vast amount of research and learning as to 
 perfectly appall the mind of any person who in forming a fair acquaintance 
 with the literature of two or three languages, has felt that he had accom- 
 plished something. It has Grammatical Analyses or at least Vocabularies 
 of most of the languages of the world. More than one fourth of the work is 
 devoted to the Aboriginal languages of America. Pages 389 to 708 of Vol. 
 III. Part I., and the whole of Part II. pp. 474, are occupied with the examina- 
 tion of the languages spoken by the Indians of North and South America. 
 The dialects of more than two hundred nations are represented by some 
 fragments of vocabularies.

 The letters of which this work consists, were written by an English ofScer at 
 Fort Chartres on the Mississippi, just after the close of Pontiac's War, and 
 owe their principal interest to their portrayal of the condition of the country 
 when that wonderful chieftain's heroic effort had failed, and he himself had 
 perished under the assassin's knife.

 Two previous editions of this collection of incidents in Western warfare, were 
 assigned on the title-pages to different authors. The first was accredited to 
 J. M. Peck, and the second to J. H. Perkins. Albach was the publisher of 
 both. The taste of the public for the work seems to have survived the edi- 
 tors, as the publisher and legal proprietor of the work published a third edition 
 as revised and corrected. Upon the title-page of this he left no other name 
 than his own. It is a great collection of details of frontier warfare; but con- 
 tains little material that is new, or indeed not published in a hundred forms, 
 yet it is much esteemed as a history of Western Settlement.

 Although purporting to be only a narration of the pious labors of an Indian 
 Missionary, yet this little volume contains many valuable historical and bio- 
 graphical sketches, particularly one of Cornplanter. From this eminent Chief 
 and Warrior the author derived some very interesting particulars of Indian 
 History, more especially of the Seneca Tribe. A short vocabulary of the 
 dialect of that nation is given in the Appendix.

 This and the preceding work entitled Ten Years in Oregon are identical. 
 They purport to be and doubtless are the veritable relations of an extraor- 
 dinary mission, partaking of both a religious and a political character. Dr. 
 White was a Presbyterian Missionary to the wilds of Oregon, who devel- 
 oped a remarkable aptitude for organization of border communities into reg- 
 ular civic bodies. These traits were not less notably exhibited by his deal- 
 ings with the Indians ; among whom some of his adventures are little less 
 than marvelous.

 This Report contains a statement of the various sales of land made by the 
 Stockbridge tribe of Indians, under the authority of the State, the consid- 
 eration for the conveyance, and some interesting historical information not 
 hitherto known. Some particulars relating to the Dutch traders among 
 them, who opposed their conversion to Christianity ; and of the Missions of 
 Sargent, Williams, and Edwards are related. The Report has a more con- 
 siderable interest as a historical treatise than most of those of its kind.

 This volume is a reprint of the very rare work printed in London 1666, with

 pies pp. 71 to 81 of the Volume. The notes, however, form a very impor- 
 tant part of its real value as they are the product of one of the most learned 
 scholars on the subject of Indian history. They bestow upon the reprint 
 a much greater intrinsic value than even the rare original pos;

 of Vol. I. bears date 1844, while that of the second is dated 1843. 
 
 Vol. I. consists of twelve monthly numbers having a total ot 448 pp. with 
 24 illustrations, of which ten are full pages with reverse blank. Vol. II. con- 
 sists of ten monthly numbers having a total of 480 pp. with nineteen illus- 
 trations, eleven of which are full paged with reverse blank. The great mass 
 of historic material .in these two volumes is composed of Journals of Cam- 
 paigns against the Indians, Narratives of Captivity, Incidents of Border 
 Warfare, Biographical Sketches of Frontiersmen, Indian Warriors, and 
 White Scouts. Everything relating to the Aborigines finds in these volumes 
 a place which are in effect, a great storehouse of incidents, and historical

 If all the statements of the author, who claims to be a lineal descendant of 
 the tribe, which suffered such murderous slaughter at the hands of Captains 
 Church and Underbill, are true, there is a long score of wrongs to be settled 
 with the State of Massachusetts. According to this author, the descendants 
 Oi the men who sold the son of King Philip, and more than two hundred of 
 his subjects into the cruel slavery of the Spanish Islands, still held the feeble 
 remnants of her aboriginal population in a species of slavery. The thi-ifty 
 selectmen of any town in Massachusetts, could, if adroit and unscnipulous, 
 pay the whole annual tax of the town by seizing upon the proceeds of the 
 labor of two or three Indians. Apes declared that if any active whaleman 
 of aboriginal blood (as many of the most expert of the Gayhead and Nan- 
 tucket harpooners were) should be entitled to a share of hve or six hun- 
 dred dollars, the selectmen could seize upon, and convert it to defray any 
 expenses for indigent Indians. I have seen no other evidence to corroborate 
 his statements.

 The date of the Petition is found at the end of the Privilege. The note to the

 A complete copy is scarcely known." Ternaux, "A small and very rare

 Botturini, in his Catalogo del Museo India, places the Vocabulario under the 
 date of 15S3 ; but as it is not uncommon to antedate works printed without 
 the year being named, I am inclined to believe the edition of 1611 to be the 
 first. An instance of this is seen in White Kennett, who places the English 
 edition of Peter Martyr without date under 1597 ; while the iirst with a date 
 is 1612. The Manual of Arenas was reprinted in 1690, 1700, 1728, 1793, 
 1831, and Avith the additaon of Ti-ench phrases in 1862.

 The Mutsuns were a tribe of Indians occupying a valley in California about 
 forty miles northwest of Monterey, and were the most northerly tribe of 
 whose language the Spanish missionaries compiled a grammar. 
 
 The San Juan Bautista Mission was established among the Mutsun In- 
 dians, in 1799. The work was printed from the original MSS. forwarded to 
 the Smithsonian Institute by the President of Santa Inez College. Their 
 language closely resembles that of the Indians Dicgeuo, a savage people liv- 
 ing near the Mission Soledad on the River Salinas, and also that of the In- 
 dians of the Mission of San Carlos near Monterey. Father Felipe Arroyo 
 de la Cuesta came to California in 1810, and died at Santa Inez Mission in 
 1842.

 The third title, at p. 167, is, " Ecmarks made on a Tour to Prairie Du Chien ; 
 thence to Washington City in 1829." The first work, " A Description of An- 
 tiquities " has never been printed in a separate form, its first publication hav- 
 ing been in the first volume of Archceologia Americana. In this the prints 
 and maps were much better executed, some even having been omitted in the 
 Cincinnati edition. 
 
 The Tour is a reprint of the greater portion of that published in 12°, pp. 
 296, at Columbus in 1831. In this however the rudiments of the Sioux 
 Grammar are omitted. The antiquarian portion is a well written descrip- 
 tion, apparently conscientiously accurate, of the mounds, fortifications, mor- 
 tuary remains, implements, and weapons of the ancient Aborigines of Ohio. 
 The zeal and industry of the author, stimulated by a thirst for the acqui- 
 sition of knowledge regarding the mysterious people of whom these were the 
 relics, have produced a work not much less valuable, because the author had 
 little scientific training, to teach him what to search for. Ethnology indeed, 
 at the period of Mr. Atwater's researches, had not crystallized its facts into a 
 science. The work is accompanied by eleven plans, mostly folding, besides 
 several cuts printed in the text, illustrative of subjects mentioned.

 Some very curious particulars relating to Customs of the Winnebagoes are 
 related by Atwater. Although nothing indicating the mission of Atwater 
 appears on the title, yet the real object of his tour was to procure as Com- 
 missioner of the government, a cession of the title of the Winnebago, Potta- 
 watomie, Chippewa, and Ottawa Indians, in the rich miueral lands, now 
 forming the State of Wisconsin and part of Illinois. 
 
 Much the greater part of the work is devoted therefore to a narration of 
 the peculiarities of those tribes which he visited, biography of some of their 
 chiefs, Indian poetry, specimens of their language, and incidents of his asso- 
 ciations with them.

 The subject of this biographical sketch attracted much attention to himself in 
 England, whither he went to enlist the interposition of the crown in favor 
 of the Creek Indians, over whom he had acquired a sort of chieftainship. He 
 claimed for them the rights of an independent and sovereign nation. Several 
 treatises were printed regarding him and his lucubrations, among others, one 
 attempting to establish from his testimony the existence of a tribe of Indians 
 speaking the Welsh language. The work whose title is above given, is

 Back (Captain).

 4° pp. ■x.\.~\-QQ)'d-\- map and 14: plates -\-^ plates fish. London, 
 John Murray, Albemarle Street, 1836. 63 
 
 This very beautiful edition of Captain Back's Journey, is exactly a counter- 
 part, page by page, of the octavo size. It is in fact an impression of the oc- 
 tavo on a quarto page of thick paper, and is therefore a large paper size, of 
 which a few copies were probably taken for presentation. The impressions 
 of the plates are on India paper, and having as well as the text been taken 
 with great care, the whole work is a splendid specimen of typographic art. 
 
 Captain Back's Narrative is crowded with details of his intercourse with the 
 Crees, Cliippewyans, Dog Rib, and Coppermine Indians, upon whom he, as 
 well as Captain Franklin, was obliged to depend in great measure for sub- 
 sistence during the terrible privations of an Arctic winter. No intelligent 
 comprehension of the character of the savage tribes of the frozen regions of 
 North America can be obtained without reading the narratives of Captains 
 Franklin and Back ; both of whose Journals of their overland expeditions 
 are very largely occupied with descriptions of Indian life and peculiarities.

 Government of Quebec, of the Three Rivers and of Montreal from 1534 to 
 1701.] 
 
 The subject of the work is very imperfectly described in the title to the first 
 volume. Each one of the four composing it has a distinct title, as much 
 descriptive of a different purpose as a separate work. To afford a full com- 
 prehension of its sciSpe I append a translation of the title of each volume: — 
 
 VOL. IX. " History of the Native Allies of New France, their Manners and their 
 Maxims, their Religion, and their interests with all the Nations of the upper 
 Lakes, among which are the Hm'ons and the Illinois, the alliance made with 
 the French and these people, and all which occurred the most remarkable 
 under Messieurs de Traci do Frontenac, de la Barre and of Denonville." 
 
 Vol. III. " History of the Iriquois, their Manners, their Maxims, their Cus- 
 toms, their Government, their Interests, with the English their Allies, all the 
 ti-ansactions of the war with them from the years 1689 to 1701 ; their Negotia- 
 tions, their Embassies for a general Feace with the French, and with the 
 Native Allies of New France." 
 
 Vol. IV. " History of the Abnaquis Indians, the general Peace in all North 
 America, under the government of the Count F>ontenac and the Chevalier 
 de Callieres, during which the Indian Nations residing six hundred leagues 
 from Quebec assembled at Montreal." 
 
 De la Fotherio's work, it will be seen, is a history of the Indian nations of 
 Canada, being entirely devoted to that subject and the relations of the 
 French with the natives. Much of his work is -written from his own observa- 
 tion, and the remainder seems to have been derived from authentic sources, 
 A comparison of De la Potherie's volumes with unquestioned authorities, 
 like Le Clercq and Sagard, does not sustain the criticism of Father Char- 
 levoix copied by Mr. Rich. Most of the twenty-seven plates are illustrative 
 of scenes or peculiarities in Indian life.

 1840. 67 
 
 This History of Peru, never before printed, was written by a gentleman who 
 went to Bogota in 1566, where he resided ten years; then removed to 
 Quito, where he finished his history in 1586, twenty years after he arrived 
 in America. The Manuscript, as found by M. Ternaux, was divided in 
 three books, of which the first two make no mention of America, except 
 some worthless speculations about its being the land of Ophir. 
 
 In his third book, however, he gives the results of his communications from 
 a learned monk named Juan de Orozco, of Bogota, who had written many 
 ti-eatises on the origin and antiquities of the Indians. 
 
 The volume is entirely occupied with the history of the Incas, and other 
 
Indian Bibliography. 17

 Narrative of the Massacre by the Savages of the Wife and

 alone, in a hut of his own construction, in the extreme Western 
 part of Kentucky. New York, 1835. 68 
 
 Very little of this fugitive chapbook relates to the subject of the massacre by 
 tho savages, and that little is worthless; tho rest is mere rhapsody and 
 bombast.

 No part of tho American Continent has had so many intelligent and well 
 cdncatod observers of Indian traits as the Hudson's Bay Territory. The 
 groat Company encouraged tho occasional presence and association of a 
 superior emjjloyc. Among tho considerable number of writers who have 
 served that company, none have produced a more complete, interesting, and 
 evidently faithful narration of tlio various phases of a Fur Trader's life 
 among the Indians, than Mr. Ballantyne. Crowded as his book is in details 
 of their life, habits, and peculiarities, wo feel an unchecked confidence in 
 their truthfulness as we progress in its perusal.

 London, 1769. 70 
 
 Tho especial subject of tho author's inquiries regarding tho Indians, is the 
 nature and use of the Wourali Poison, with which their weapons are 
 charged. Although a work of some merit, written as it was by an English- 
 man of learning, it has little value as a narration of personal experience. 
 It is probable, from the entire absence of personal details, that the book was 
 written in England, perhaps by one who had no more than a short visit to 
 Guiana to qualify him for the task. 
 
 Much tho best portion of tlie work is Chap. iii. occupying 100 pp. of descrip- 
 tion of tho peculiarities of the natives of the country. The subject has 
 however been much bettor performed by tho Missionary, Brett.

 This collection of histories is rarely complete, the pieces having been printed 
 separately and at different periods, and having each an independent pagina^ 
 tion, were looked upon as complete in themselves. Many of them having 
 been destroyed, it is believed that not more than one hundred complete copies 
 now exist. The parts were not collected until after the death of the author, 
 whch took place while they were passing through the press. Mr. Stevens 
 says that it is difficult now to pronounce what constitutes a complete set, or 
 in what order the parts should be arranged, as the printing occupied a period 
 of more than twenty years. The copies sold by himself and in Leclerc's 
 Sale, contained only the following parts ; — '

 Under this pseudonym, an anagram of his name, the learned Barcia, who edited 
 the work, concealed his association with it. It is filled with the most valua- 
 ble material relating to the Indians who once inhabited the vast territory 
 claimed by the Spaniards under the title of Florida, reaching from the north- 
 ern lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and covering nearly all the States united 
 under the Federal Government. Almost all that we know of the character 
 of some of the tribes which once inhabited this territory, and were swept 
 from existance by the conquest of the Spaniards, is derived from Cabeca de 
 Vaca, and Garcilaso de la Vega. In this work their relations of Florida are 
 continued ; among which the Narrative of the Sufferings of Father Jogues, a 
 Jesuit Missionary to the Iroquois in the present State of New York, and the 
 painful incidents of his final mart)Tdom will most interest those who exam- 
 ine them. Pages 205 to 217 are principally occupied with the relation of the 
 Missions among the Hurons and Iroquois, and of the captivity and mar- 
 tyrdom of Fathers Jogues, Lalemande, Gamier, and Chabanal. Some partic- 
 ulars of the wars of the Iroquois are given on pages 227 to 244, and 
 throughout the work are found many details .of Missions and visits to the 
 Northern tribes, and of the long series of conflicts with them. The Chron- 
 ological History of Florida is a continuation of La Florida del Inca. 
 
 The learned and zealous historian Barcia was not only the author of the works 
 attributed to him under his name, Historiadores Primitivos de las Indias 
 Occidentales (Primitive History of the West Indies, South America), and 
 Ensayo Chronologico para la Sistoria de la Florida fChronological Essays 
 towards the History of Florida) but he was the editor of a vast mass of his- 
 torical works, which had become rare even in his day. They consisted of the 
 following books, which will be found under their authors' names in this Cat- 
 alogue. 
 
 ToRQUEMADA. MonarcMa Indiana, in three folio volumes printed at Madrid 
 in 172.3. 
 
 Garcilaso de la Veoa. Primera parte de los Commentarioe, Jieales Oriqen de 
 los Incas, and Garcilaso's Historia general del Peru, and La Florida del Inca. 
 The three works printed uniform in folio. Madrid, 1723. 
 
 Garcia. Origen delos Indios. One vol. folio. Madrid, 1729. 
 
 Hereea. Historia General. Eight decades, in four folio vols. Madrid, 1726. 
 
 PiNELO. Bihliotheca Oriental y Occidental. Three folio vols, in 1737. 
 
 Ercilla. La Araucana. In one volume folio, in 1633. 
 
 Barcia's works, original and edited, therefore fill 19 volumes. 
 
 Eich says that copies of all these works were printed on fine paper with large 
 margins, which are very rarely reunited in complete sets. Barcia's zeal in his- 
 torical labors, was not exhausted in the reprinting and perpetuating rare 
 works, for he collected a vast mass of books and manuscripts upon the history 
 of America, which at his death met the usual melancholy fate of such re- 
 
Indian Bihliography. 21 
 
 positories. He was to a great extent the author of his edition of the Biblio- 
 iheca Oriental y Occidental of Pineola, which was originally printed in one 
 small quarto, but by Barcia's additions grew to three folios, of which the third 
 is devoted to the titles of books and manuscripts relating to American history. 
 Barcia's works did not escape sharp criticism in his own day. Salazar, the 
 author of some dull volumes on the History of Spain arid the Indies, 
 printed a work entitled Crisis del Ensayo a la Historia de la Florida, which 
 evinced more jealousy than merit.

 tram's Travels, the comment found in Coleridge's Table Talk, that it is " The 
 latest book of 'Travels I know, written in the spirit of the Old Travellers." 
 
 This I suppose to moan that Bnrtram wrote with all the enthusiasm and inter- 
 est with which the fervent old Spanish friars and missionaries narrated the 
 wonders of the newfound world. Bartram, however, has much the advan- 
 tage of these chroniclers, who often became mere rhapsodists, as he was a 
 man of scientific training, with a mind too well disciplined in logical fidelity 
 to be deluded by his own fancies. 
 
 Although more especially a naturalist, he neglected nothing which would add 
 to the common stock of human knowledge. He not only offers us pictures 
 of Indian life, and sketches of the striking peculiarities of the tribes lie vis- 
 ited, but he gives us tables of the names and localities of the numerous 
 towns of the populous nations of the Creeks and Cherokecs. Fifty-three 
 villages of the first, and forty-five of the latter are enumerated and named.

 [Travels in Louisiana and on the Continent of North America, made in the 
 years 1794 to 1798; containing a Historic Tableau of Louisiana, with Ob- 
 servations on its Climate, its most valuable Productions, the Character of the 
 Indians, etc.] 
 
 Like most of the works called Voyages, written by Frenchmen, this is princi- 
 pally occupied with a resume of the history of the country purported to be 
 visited, with scarcely nothing of personal observation. The chairacter, 
 manners, and wars of the native savages of course occupy his attention 
 largely ; but his work is principally notable for " Two Vocabularies of the 
 Savages," the Naoudoouessis and the Chipouais, covering pp. 348 to 362.

 The book is principally occupied with translations of the Sagas, from Prof 
 Kaih's Danish work, entitled Antiquitaies Americance. The author attempts 
 to prove that as Irish ecclesiastics were constantly passing between Iceland 
 and Ireland, that it is more than probable that America was iirst discovered 
 by men of Hibernian birth.

 The tour of this zealous and intelligent observer to the Indian towns in 
 Pennsylvania and Ohio, lying far beyond the frontiers, was made at a period 
 of great interest in their history. The warriors of the Delaware and Shaw- 
 nese had ravaged them with the tomahawk and firebrand for twenty years, 
 and the Journal of the missionary is tilled with notes of their awful massa-

 Vol. II. is almost entirely devoted to the author's travels among the North- 
 western Indians, of whom he gives some novel particulars. The narrations 
 of what he witnessed are tinged with the peculiar glow of the author's tem-

 nal objects through the same media with which he viewed his own person 
 and accomplishments.

 Anthony Benezet, born igi 1713, of a French family of St. Quentin, was 
 driven from Prance by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Having fixed 
 his residence in Philadelphia, he adopted the doctrine of the Quakers. His 
 humanity impelled him to attempt an amelioration of the condition of both 
 the Indians and negroes, by publishing treatises exhibiting the unhappy 
 state to which each had been reduced, by the cupidity and neglect of the 
 whites. He died in 1 784.

 This is evidently a veritable relation of personal experience during three 
 years' service as teacher and missionary among the Choctaws ; and is the 
 work of a man of sense, who does not fill his pages with the emotional relig- 
 ious exercises of his converts, but narrates the every-day story of incidents 
 and character, grave or ludicrous, which presented themselves.

 Printer, 1825. 115 
 
 An essay on the Indian and Dutch names of New York, first printed in 1817, 
 by the author. The peculiarly abrupt, and not very perspicuous style of 
 tlie work, excited the criticisms of the directors of the Society, who required 
 some verbal changes before publication, which the author's pride induced 
 him to reject with indignation. A controversy arose of much acrimony, and 
 Mr. Benson determined to vindicate his style by printing his essay. He does 
 not however seem to have been entirely satisfied with it himself, as several 
 copies exist with numerous manuscript additions and corrections. 
 
 The second edition printed in Jamaica includes some of these, and is quite 
 difficult to procure. The Society in 1843, after the death of the author, 
 printed the address, in their seventh volume of Collections. Of this a few 
 copies were issued in a separate form bearing on the title " Reprinted from 
 a copy with the Author's last Corrections."

 This rare book is the work of an old Italian traveller who, incited by the won- 
 derful stories of the world discovered by his countryman fifty years before, 
 adventured in 1541 to gain personal knowledge of it. The Aborigines of 
 the countries he visited always seemed first to attract his attention ; and he 
 has accordingly afibrded us some of the rarest pictures of their condition and 
 habits at that early day, of which the rude wood-cuts printed in the text are 
 quaint but spirited illustrations. It is the first book of Travels of which 
 America has been so fruitful, as Benzoni seems to have been the first who 
 travelled merely to gratify his curiosity and recorded his observations.

 The narrative of Giralamo Benzoni is one of the most interesting of all the 
 early travellers in America, not only for the minute details of the life and 
 habits of the Aborigines more than three centuries ago, but for the evident 
 fidelity to truth, and the consequent reliance we may feel that we are viewing

 the common life of the natives before what we term civilization had corrupted 
 thorn. Eighteen fac-similos of the curious wood-cuts of the period are in- 
 serted in tlie ti'xt, most of ivliich are illustrative of some phases in the cus- 
 toms of the Indians. They were reproduced hyDe.Bry. Born at Milan 
 in 1,519, he abandoned his country to seek for adventures in the New World 
 at the age of twenty-two. After fourteen years of travels he returned in 
 1556 and pulilislied his llislorid del Mondo, which has been esteemed a great 
 success, and translated into several languages.

 treatment they have given the unfortunate natives. Translated from the 
 Italian of Jerome Benzoni, the Milanois, who travelled in tliat country four- 
 teen years. Enriched with many observations and facts worthy of being 
 preserved. By Urban Chauveton, together with a short history of a mas- 
 sacre committed by the Spaniards upon some Eronchincn in Florida. With 
 an Index of the most remarkable events.] 
 
 This is the first Latin edition of Benzoni, and is chiefly valuable for the addi- 
 tion by Chauveton of the narration of Laudonierrc, which is found com- 
 mencing at page 427, with the title in Latin, " Brief History of the Expe- 
 dition of the French to Florida, and of the Massacre so barbarously executed 
 upon them by the Spaniards in 1565." Charlevoix supposes this portion 
 of the work to have been taken from that of La Challeux, printed in 1556. 
 In the next year the first French translation of Benzoni was printed, to 
 which this account of the Massacre was also added. 
 
 It was this translation of Benzoni's work which was printed by De Bry as 
 Parts IV., v., and VI. of his Great Voyages, with 78 plates.

 This work attempts something more than biographical sketches of famous 
 Indians, as it gives a resume of discovery, and wars with the natives, as a 
 frame in which to hang his portraits of them. It is a very ffood compilation 
 of the quite well known facts of aboriginal history, and, although contain- 
 ing little that is not already stored in the common stock of knowledge, it 
 does not include much, if anything, of his own composition which is falla- 
 cious or speculative.

 Kelation of the most i-cmarkable eyents -which transpired in the Abnaquis

 the Company of Jesus.] 
 
 Father Vincent Bigot, a Frenchman of the Society of Jesus, was a mission- 
 ary among the Indians of Canada. This letter is dated as having been 
 written from a villasre of the Abnaquis in Acadie. He is not noticed in the 
 Bibliotheqne of the Fathers Backer, which only cites the name and relations 
 of Father Jacques Bigot, who sent relations of the Missions of the Abnaquis 
 to his Superior at Quebec, in 1684, 16S5, and 1702, showing that he sei-ved 
 as a missionary at least eighteen years. He is the author of the three follow- 
 ing Melations. 
 
 Mr. John Gilmary Shea, of New York, to whom we owe these excellent con- 
 tributions to our literature, has piinted a series extending to twenty-three 
 lielations. The edition of each work was limited to one hundred copies, 
 which have been so much sought after that it is very difficult to obtain a com- 
 plete set. In Europe the estimation of the Eelations, and of Mr. Shea's series 
 of Indian Linguistics, is much greater than in this country.

 This plan of a new general history of North America, to he founded upon 
 tt large amount of material, composed of figiu'es, symbols, hieroK'lyphics, 
 songs, and MSS. of Indian authors, is a favorite idea of the more ardent 
 of Mexican avchseologists. These documents of the varied character de- 
 scribed, the author declares on the title-page to be then newly discovered. 
 
 The Catalogue of his Indian Historical Collection of MSS., Maps, luid Dic- 
 tionaries, and Grammars of the Mexican languages, occupies four leaves after 
 p. 167 of the " Idea," and the succeeding pp. 1 to 96. Most of these valuable 
 relics of the golden age of the American Aborigines disappeared during the 
 one hundred and twenty-five years which have since elapsed. This wonder- 
 ful collection included historic material I'elating to each of the six great 
 Mexican nations. Although so great a length of time has ehipsed since 
 its dispersal, M. Aubin, an amateur collector at Paris, has had the good 
 fortune to recover many of them. 
 
 " Lorenzo Boturini Benaducci was a Milanese gentleman, who, after much 
 trouble in obtaining copies of the best manuscripts and paintings, printed 
 his outline of a grand work, which I have been infoi'med did not appear in 
 consequence of his death." — Dr. Cabrera. 
 
 This great museum of Mexican antiquities and MSS., copies of the equally 
 wonderful liistories of the Indian nations, written by learned Indians, was 
 seized by the jealous and vindictive authorities of Mexico ; and although 
 for many years preserved among the archives of the Viceroy, yet the learned 
 and industrious antiquarian was most wantonly deprived of the results of his 
 labors. Clavigero saw some of this precious store before 1770, in which year 
 was printed a work in Mexico, containing copies of thirty-two of the paint- 
 ings. 
 
 The author resided eight years in Mexico, and not only studied and copied 
 the ancient MSS. and paintings, preserved in monasteries, churches, and 
 colleges, but he formed an intimate acquaintance with the customs and hab- 
 its of the living Indians.

 There is every internal evidence that this is a veritable relation of experience 
 among the Aborigines of Patagonia, a race which has afforded the greatest 
 range for conjecture and controversy. The author narrates the story of 
 his captivity with a plain, yet interesting fidelity to the occurriTces of the 
 hideous life he endured. While he does not confirm the traditions of the 
 early travellers, regarding the vast size of the Patagonians, liis narrative 
 shows that there was more than an ordinary basis for such tales in the su- 
 perior height of these people.

 After a resume of the aboriginal bistory of the State derived from the re- 
 lations of all the voyagers and travellers from Verrezano to John Smith, the 
 author gives on pages 103 to 181 of Vol. I. : "A general Sketch of the 
 tribes of Indians then inh.abiting Virginia and Maryland." The names of 
 the various tribes, and the localities they occupied, together with the origin 
 and signification of the Indian names of rivers and places, receive great 
 attention from the author, whose numerous and lengthy notes attest the 
 labor be bestowed upon the aboriginal history of his State.

 The work of a man who examined carefully into the h.ahits and character of 
 the Indians of the Upper Missouri ; wrote with a punctilious sensitiveness to 
 his obligation to narrate nothing but the truth ; and who told the story of 
 his sojourn among the savages and trsiders in a manner to attract and pre- 
 serve the reader's interest. Mi-. Brackenridge, being the first traveller aftei 
 Captains Lewis and Cliirk to visit these distant tribes, his " Relation " has a 
 more than ordinary value to the ethnologist and the historian.

 American Antiquities and Researches into the Origin and His-

 New Fork, Dayton^, Saxton, 1841. 169 
 
 Parti, pp. 15 to 161 is occupied with a resume of the discoveries of Ameri- 
 can antiquities, with a description of their size, cliaracter, and location, and 
 is a very excellent collection of the material facts relating to them. In this 
 part of the worlc the author entirely avoids any discussion, or speculation re- 
 garding their origin, or age. Part II. pp. 163 to 435, is entitled " Researches 
 into the Origin and History of the Red Race ; " and the several divisions into 
 chapters embrace such subjects as : Comparison of the Ancient Monuments ; 
 Ancient Civilization; Aboriginal iWonuments ; Aboriginal Migrations; 
 Routes of Migration; Drifting of Vessels ; Origin of the Aborigines and the 
 Pyramids. In these chapters the author gives free indulgence to the hypo- 
 thetical, sustained, however by a close adhesion to logical conclusion and 
 scientific analysis. Mr. Bradford was peculiarly fitted for such a treatment 
 of this subject, which will forever be the debatable ground of the ethnologist 
 and the philosopher. He was for many years surrogate of the city of New 
 York ; and so able was he deemed by lawyers that his decisions in his court are 
 recognized as fixing the limits of law and precedent in that line of practice. 
 He died in 1867.

 The narrative of Colonel Bradstreet's expedition, although purporting to be 
 written by another hand, bears internal evidence of having been at least dic- 
 tated by himself His conduct in the expedition against the Ohio Indians 
 needed exculpation, and had this work been published earlier we might have 
 supposed it was intended to divert public attention towards a real service he 
 had performed for the Colonies. He was impatient of the subordinate rank 
 he held in the campaign ; and while in command of the northern division 
 of the army moving against the Ohio Indians in 1764, he disobeyed the or- 
 ders of Colonel Boquet, and made a separate treaty of peace, which would 
 have been productive of most disastrous circumstances had it not been 
 promptly disavowed by Boquet.

 velous. Following his vocation as a priost and a missionary, his literary- 
 appetite could only be allayed by writing a history of Canada, and perhaps 
 the most unfortunate event for his fame which could possibly have happened 
 was that it was printed. It did not escape the notice of liistorical students 
 that the Abbe had accepted so much which was apocryphal, that his history 
 was^ little better than a romance. When, therefore, he had, with heroic 
 sacrifice of all personal ease, accepted the life of self-immolation of a mis- 
 sionary to_ the Indians of Mexico ; had studied for years the relics of Aztec 
 picture-writing- ; had learned and systematized in great treatises their modern 
 dialects ; the immense works which he then printed upon the history of the 
 pre-Cortesian races, made scarcely a ripple on the quiet of the scientific 
 world. ^ He stands alone in the vast temple of learning which he has restored, 
 if he did not erect. No human being cau contest his solution of Aztec 
 pictographs, nor does there exist one who can prove it to he true. His 
 numerous volumes have at least this merit, — they have done much to 
 perpetuate the memory of a wonderful race. Besides those already noted 
 he has printed, —

 Numerous articles upon Mexican Antiquities, from the pen of this prolific 
 author, have appeared in the European Reviews, principally excerpts from 
 his printed works. Some copies of these have been separated and distributed 
 in the magazine sheets. 
 
 The industry, zeal, and learning which the Abhe Brasseur de Bourbourg 
 brought to the investigation of the Aztec and other Central American litera- 
 ture, have produced scarcely any other result than the accumulation of so vast 
 an amount of printed matter as to appal the stoutest-hearted ethnologist. 
 In the world of conjecture he is without a rival. He has however, with his 
 national perversity of egotism, destroyed the value of his o-wn labors, by in- 
 terpolating so much of his oivn baseless conjectures. He has invented as 
 much as he has discovered ; and the difficulty of separating his assumptions 
 from material fact, has not been considered a sufficient compensation for the 
 labor of analysis.

 Neither the horrors of a forest Savannah stretching hundreds of miles without 
 sufficient dry ground to build a camp upon ; the danger of receiving a flight 
 of arrows freighted with the deadly ouarri poison, from the tameless savages 
 of the hills, or the equally subtle and less avoidable pestilence which- per- 
 vades every breath of the malaria saturated atmosphere, could appal the 
 missionaries of the Cross to the Caribs and other wild savages of Guiana.

 The forest is twined with gigantic serpents above, and roamed by ferocions 
 beasts below, the paths are barred by the webs of monstrous and poisonous 
 spiders, and every rotten trunk houses a hundred centipedes. On the shores 
 hides the loathsome cayman, or basks the rattlesnake ; and in the water mill- 
 ions of ferocious little fish, whose mouths are anned with steel-traps, fasten 
 with resistless voracity on the inti-uding stranger. All we know of the Abo- 
 rigines who inhabit these deadly climes, is commuQicated by snch fearless 
 missionaries as Brett and Bernau.

 notion of tracing tlieir descent from the Jews (that fatal stumbling-block of 
 all theorists, from Torquemada and Tliorowgood to Mrs. Simon and Joe 
 Smith), there is one formidable historic weapon against it he does not use: 
 That tlie Indian of America had a more pronounced and established idea of 
 the immortality of the human existence than the most pious of Jews. There 
 was a deeper conviction of the truth of some sort of resurrection among the 
 most debased of the Aborigines than existed among the Jews at the period 
 of tlie separation of their tribes. Mr. Brinton treats at length, and with 
 masterly clearness in grouping, the \ast mass of traditions, symbols, rites, 
 and superstitions which governed the life of the savages of America as affect- 
 ing their common origin.

 With the thoroughness which characterizes all of Mr. Brinton's literary labors, 
 he has exhausted all the reservoirs of infoimation relating to his subject. 
 He takes no less pains to finish and illustrate it, when only a magazine arti- 
 cle, than when it assumes the proportions of a volume.

 The object announced by the author, as the province of this work, is the trac- 
 ing of the ancient course of empire and migration of this interesting tribe. 
 Though now dwindled to the small number of two thousand souls, it is prob- 
 able, from linguistic and social characteristics, that they are the representa- 
 tives of a once great people, affiliating with now distant nations.

 The author adduces most of the arguments, brought by the advocates of the 
 descent of the American Aborigines from the lost Hebrew tribes, to fortify 
 their hx-pothesis. He adds nothing to strengthen their position.

 most of the scenes he describes, his work has one great value, as it is a

 The last half of the title-page mnst have been written by the publisher, and 
 the illnstrations drawn by his infant son, as the Preface and Text indicate 
 too respectable a mind to have concocted such a farrago, involving at least 
 half a dozen falsclioods regarding the plates, which are the most tawdry and 
 offensive daubs. 
 
 The work is fairly executed, and contains much condensed information, which 
 had, however, been better presented in the collection of Mr. Drake.

 No. 10, Shea's Avierican Linguistics. 
 
 Mr. Shea says in his Preface, "This volume contains undoubtedly the oldest 
 grammatical or lexicosiiphal treatise on the language of the Mohawks." It 
 was probably ^v^itten on the banks of the Mohawk River, in the latter part 
 of the seventeenth century. The closely written manuscript of 146 pp., from 
 which this work is printed, is almost the only monument remaining of the 
 warlike and formidable nation who once inhabited the State of New York. 
 The wonderful men who defied even the fierceness of this savag-e race, and for 
 the first time subdued that ferocity, were the Jesuit Missionaries, " who, from 
 the days of the devoted Jogues to the close of the seven teeth century, when the 
 cruel act of Bellomont prohibited any further attempts to Christianize them, 
 labored among tlie tribes, studied the various dialects with the care and abil- 
 ity of educated men. Chaumonot wrote a Huron Grammar, and works in 
 Onondaga, Carhiel in Cayuga, and Bruyas in Mohawk."

 The grandfather of Lord Byron, the jioet, in suffering shipwreck upon the 
 shores of Patagonia, was atfordc-d the opportunity of writing some of the 
 most interesting particulars regarding the tall natives of that country. His 
 work abounds in information, more novel, perhaps, than strictly accurate ; 
 at least, it was the fashion a century since to deride his account.

 The Narrative of Alvar Nuiiez Cabeca de Vaca. Translated

 One hundred copies of the Narrative were privately printed for Mr. G. W. 
 Kiggs of Washington, entirely for presentation to societies and personal 
 friends. It is the earliest relation of Florida, and the territory from the At- 
 lantic coast across the Mississippi to the Pacific which we possess. 
 
 The narration of the unfortunate expedition of Cabeca de Vaca across the 
 territory now occupied by the Southern States from Florida to Texas in the 
 year 1527, nearly three and a half centuries ago, is full of the most melan- 
 choly vet absorbing interest. Nine years of wanderings and captivity among 
 the Indians elapsed before this ill-fated member of a still more' imfortunate 
 band escaped almost alone of all who set out so joyously with him. His 
 narration has been received by all historians and antiquaries as veracious. It 
 is certainly most valuable to us in one particular : that as it is the earliest 
 historic memoir of the Indian races of that portion of America, it is also the 
 most minute and full in its narrations of their national traits.

 Relation of Alvar Nunez Cabeca de Vaca. Translated from

 The "Relation" occupies pp. 11 to 205, with the notes at the foot of the page 
 instead of as in the former quarto edition being appended to the Narrative. 
 An Appendix, pp. 206 to 232, contains additional papers. A Memoir of 
 Cabe9a de Yaca by T. W. Field, occupies pp. 233 to 254. A Preface by 
 Hon. H. C. Murphy, precedes the Relation. A Memoir of the translator, 
 wi-itten by Mr. J. G. Shea, fills pp. 255 to 263. The sudden death of the tal- 
 ented translator, occurring while these sheets were passing through the press, 
 filled the hearts of many bibliophiles with sadness. 
 
 The work was brought out under the patronage and personal care of the Hon. 
 H. C. Murphy, and formed a fitting monument to the earnest scholar and 
 gentleman who first made the valuable Relations of Cabeca available to those 
 who could not read it in the original.

 Published as the Sixth Number- of Temaux-Compan's collection of Voi/ages, 
 Relations, et Memoires. The Commentaries have never been translated into 
 English. 
 
 The first edition of Cabe^a's Relacion was printed at Sevilla in 1542, 4° 66 
 leaves; the second at Valladolid in 1555. This is divided into two parts, 
 of which the first only is attributed to Cabefa de Vaca himself, entitled 
 Naufragios de Alvar Nunez de Cabeca de Vaca (also in the Collection 
 of Barcia) ; the second, Commentarios de Alvar Nunez Cabeca de Vaca, a 
 work which is supposed to have been written by his Secretary, Pierre Fernan- 
 dez, while Nunez was in prison. " These two works," says M. Tcrnaux, 
 " were composed for the justification of Cabepa de Vaca, but did not prevent 
 the disappomtment of his being condemned to exile in Africa on account of 
 the cruelties perpetrated by him in America." During his long wanderings 
 among the Indians, with whom he became a sort of divinity or prophet, he 
 traversed the entire breadth of the continent from Florida to the Pacific, 
 leading the tribes of devotees, whose superstitious reverence he had excited. 
 The first of these works has been many times reprinted : by Barcia in 1749 ; 
 by Temaux in 1837 ; by Buckingham Smith in 1851, and a new edition by 
 the latter in 1871. 
 
 The story of his arrest and imprisonment is told by Ulrich Schmidel in 
 his Vera Hisioria Admirandce, chapters xxxix. and xl. Having been ap- 
 pointed governor of Buenos Ayrcs in 1 540, he a few months after organized 
 an expedition against a tribe of Indians known as the Surucusis. On arriv- 
 ing near their territory he was seized with a disease which seems to have 
 rendered him incapable of command, perhaps partially insane. His camp 
 was fixed for nearly three months in one of the most pestilential spots of the 
 whole country, and no entreaties could induce his withdrawal or advance. 
 
 Schmidel says the governor exercised his authority with so rigorous a hand 
 that his soldiers equally detested and feared him. At length, determined no 
 longer to endure the governor's harshness and inactivity, they seized him in 
 his tent, and kept him a prisoner for more than a year, when he was sent 
 under guard to Spain. Mr. Harrisse asserts that Cabecja de Vaca was bom 
 at Xeres, and that he has seen it stated somewhere that he died at a ripe old 
 age at Seville in 1564. This fact is stated by Techo in his Historia Provin- 
 cicc Paraguarias. Leodii, 1673. Both editions of his work are rare, the first 
 exceedingly so. 
 
 The Relacion aroused the ire of Caspar Plautus, who under the cognomen of 
 Philoponus wrote the Nova-Typis. At page 91 he arraigns Cabeija for pre- 
 suming to perform miracles through his intercessions with the Deity ; Philo- 
 ponus claiming such prerogatives as solely belonging to the priestly orders 
 and not to the " Milicia Christiana." The answers to his prayers, exhibited 
 in the falling of showers of rain, the healing of the sick, and the raising of 
 the dead, were not considered by Philoponus as conclusive evidence on that 
 point. So important was the arraignment of Philoponus deemed in that 
 day, that a treatise was written by Don Antonio Ardoino, to refute the 
 calumnies of the monk. This was printed by Barcia in the first volume of 
 his JBistoriadores Primitivos under the title of Examen Apologetico de la His- 
 torica Narracion de los Naufragios, Peregrinaciones, i Milagros de Alvar Nunez 
 Cabeca de Vaca. [Apologetical Examination of the Historical Narrative of 
 the Shipwrecks, Travels, and Miracles of Cabeca de Vaca.] The treatise is 
 ponderous with learning, and canvasses every possible phase of the conditions 
 of possible miracles.

 Captain Del Eio discovered and examined the now famous ruins of Palenque 
 in 1787, hut liis manuscript report remained in the provincial archives of 
 Guatemala until a short time prior to their translation and publication in 
 the present form. The translator gave so literal a version that he did not 
 change the references in the body of the work which referred to drawings 
 that had been irrecoverably lost. Captain Del Eio's Eeport occupies pp. 1 
 to 21, and in the remainder of the work Dr. Cabrera attempts to establish 
 the theory that the figures upon the monuments of Palenque prove a con- 
 nection between the Egyptians and the Aboriginal race which constructed 
 them. All this is very ingeniously argued, and the comparison, on the 
 whole, more fairly and learnedly stated than the weavers of hypotheses 
 usually do. From the occurrence of an eclipse recorded 291 years before 
 Christ, corresponding with the same date in the Mexican calendar, he con- 
 structs a table of the Mexican years.

 [Luther's Catechism translated into the American- Virginia (Indian) Lan-

 This translation of Luther's Catechism into the language of the Virginia 
 (or more correctly the Delaware) Indians was made by Thomas Campanius, 
 of Stockholm. He was for many years the resident pastor of the colony, 
 and a learned and zealous man, not only in the exercise of his religious 
 functions but in literary pursuits. This book was printed for distribution in 
 America, among the people into whose tongue it was translated, and has in 
 consequence become very rare. The last six pages are devoted to an anal- 
 ysis and Vocabulary of the Mohawk dialect of the Iroquois. The author 
 styled himself John Campanius Holmensis, or Campanius of Stockholm, 
 and in consequence in some catalogues the book is found credited to Holme.

 value, as statonrnts made proljalily from the narrations of an actual observer. 
 Pashjr C'aitipanius, his grandfather, must have had a very intimate acquaint-

 The lady who wi"ote this pleasing, but not very valuable work, had little per- 
 sonal experience among the Indians, and therefore fills its pages with incidents 
 and speculations derived from the gossip of the camp. The most valuable por- 
 tion of the book is that in which she gives the personal narrations of some 
 restored captives, scarcely to be deemed happy in surviving the awful mas- 
 sacres of their families. They were all married women, who, having wit- 
 nessed the slaughter of their husbands and children, were reserved by the 
 savages for a worse fate. It is now well known, that although the Algon- 
 quin and Iroquois tribes never violated their female captives, the Indians of 
 the Plains almost as invariably subject them to the most horrible personal 
 outrages.

 guage, which was, doubtless, the Italian of this second edition of Ramusio, 
 a fact which proves that even at a date so early as only fifty years after its 
 publication, the first edition was unknown. Cartier's Relations aftbrd us

 the first vocabularies ever printed of the languages of any nation of Amer-

 [Nai-rative of the journey to Cibola (New Mexico), undertaken in 1540, which

 This volume foi-ms No. 10 of Ternaux-Compans' collection of Voyages, Eela- 
 tions, et Memoires, never before printed. Although this relation is declared to 
 be superior to most of the narratives of the period, and its author without doubt 
 a gentleman at least by education, it is probable that he served as a private 
 soldier in the memorable expedition. The famed Cibola ranked in attraction 
 to the Spanish Adventurers, ivith the El Dorado of South America, and 
 Norembega, the great city thought to exist on the peninsula, now occupied by 
 the New England States and the two most eastern British Colonies. The 
 Seven Cities, of whose marvels so much had been told, were the destination 
 of the expedition ; and it remained for the government of the United States 
 to prove their existence, more than three hundred years after the exploration 
 of Coronado. In the State of New Mexico still exists the many storied 
 structures of Zuni and other cities of the Aztec, or pre- Aztec race. The 
 work is one of the highest interest, not only as a relation of the first visit 
 to the teiTitories of New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado, but more particularly 
 to the subject of this bibliography, in presenting a view by such an intelli- 
 gent observer, of the Indian nations three hundred years ago. 
 
 The work is divided into three parts, of which the second is entitled, " Descrip- 
 tion of the Provinces, Mountains, and of the Villages and their Inhabitants, 
 Of the Religion and of the Manners of the Natives." At pages 8 to 14 will 
 be found an account of the return of C.abe9a de Vaca and his three compan- 
 ions ; of the impostor Estevan, the negro, who accompanied Cabe^a ; of his 
 engagement to act as the avant courier of Vasquez, of his royal progresses 
 through the country with his constantly increasing harem of beautifal In- 
 dian girls ; and finally his condemnation to death by the Caciques of Cibola, 
 on the charge of absurd deceit, in announcing that he, a black man, was the 
 ambassador of those who were white as the stww.

 their own art, are excellently portrayed in these engravings.

 In the latter part of 1866 one of the numbers of Truebner's monthly catalogue 
 contained a notice of a pamphlet purporting to be written by Mr. Catlin 
 upon the secret customs of the Mandans, said to be indescribably lascivious. 
 This excited the indignant denial by Mr. Catlin, of his authorship of the 
 essay, of which, as only fifty copies were printed, little was known. The 
 next year, as a more effectual disproval of his association with what he 
 deemed a disreputable performance, Mr. Catlin produced 0-km-pa. It was as 
 much a defense of his early friends the Mandans as of himself The terrible 
 religious and civil rite, here pictured with such horrible fidelity, is no longer 
 practiced, as the interesting people who described it are totally extinct as a 
 nation.

 [Voyages made in New France called Canada, by the Sieur Champlain, 
 Captain of the Marine for the King, and (Accounts) of all the discoveries 
 which he made in that Country from 1603 to 1629, in which it will be seen 
 that this Country was first discovered by the French, etc. Together with a 
 Map, and a Catechism or Book of Instruction, translated from the French 
 into the language of the Sauvages, the people of that Country, with a Nar- 
 ration of all which transpired in New France to the year 1631.] 
 An imperfect fac-simile of the large map made for Mr. Tross is usually sub- 
 stituted for the rare original. 
 This edition is the only complete one of Champlain's Voyages. The first 
 part of the volume is an almost literal reproduction of all the other voyages, 
 excepting some minuter relations of the same events in the edition of 1613, 
 with most of the plates printed in the text instead of on separate sheets 
 The second part is wholly new matter never before printed ; being a rela- 
 tion of what transpired in New France from 1619, the date of his latest 
 work, to 1632. The great map is also printed here for the first time. A 
 second edition of this complete Work of Champlain bears the date of 1640, 
 differing in only one or two verbal particulars. A third edition was printed 
 by the government of France in 1 830, in 2 vols. 8°, and a fourth in 1870, in 
 quarto, at Quebec.

 Beside these, some copies of the edition of 1632 have two variations in the 
 imprint of the publisher: one being Chez Claude Collet, and the other Chez 
 Pierre le Mer. Mr. Stevens asserts also that two leaves, bearing the signa- 
 tures Dij and Diij, were canceled in most copies and reprinted lo escape the 
 censure of a reflection upon Cardinal Kichelieu. The first paragraph on p. 
 27, Sig. Dij of the amended copies ends with " telles decouvertes." The re- 
 jected passage was the mildest possible assertion in five lines, that great 
 princes might know well how to conduct the government of a kingdom, and 
 yet not know how to sail a ship. The map with the imprint of Collet is 
 slightly smaller than in the others, which both contain the additional words, 
 " Faict Tan 1632 par le Sieur de Champlain." This work gives us the first 
 accurate accounts we have of the Indians of the interior of the present State 
 of New York. It is very largely devoted to descriptions of their habits, 
 modes of life and warfare; and of personal observations and experiences 
 among the Algonquins and Iroquois. The most remarkable event in Indian 
 history was caused by Champlain's first visit to the shores of the lake bear- 
 ing his name. In a conflict between the two named races of savages, he 
 gave the victory to his friends the Abnaquis, by the use of his musket. The 
 Iroquois never forgave the injury, and thousands of Frenchmen were 
 slaughtered to avenge it. The Si.v Nations always fought with the English 
 against their enemies, and twice nearly destroyed the French colonies with 
 their own warriors alone.

 This " Narrative of Champlain's First Voyage to the New World," is of great 
 value to us in establishing, by an unimpeachable authority, the story of the 
 awful cruelties which were inflicted upon the Indians of the West Indies by 
 the Spaniards. Fac-simile lithographs of Champlain's drawings arc given ; 
 among which are representations of Indian feasts, flogging Indians to 
 church, and burning groups of the natives at the stake. Tlie biography 
 gives an interesting narration of Champlain's dealings with the Indians of 
 New France.

 This is the first of Champlain's printed works, the original edi|ion of which 
 is the rarest of all of them. It needs no more than the title to show that its 
 subject is almost wholly the Aborigines of New France.

 This Journal of the second, third, and fourth voyages of Champlain, is a 
 relation of the events recorded consecutively in the order, and with the date 
 of their occurrence. Although almost wholly reprinted in the edition of 
 1632, yet the minuteness and chronological order of the diary not being 
 observed therein, this edition is much esteemed.

 This volume, printed twelve years before Champlain's collected voyages, was 
 incorporated therein, with the omission of several plates. It is a continua- 
 tion of the voyages printed in 1613, and was reprinted, or at least issued, as 
 a second edition in 1620 and another in 1627. The plates, illustrative 
 of scenes in Indian life, are beautiful specimens of the engraving of the 
 period.

 Very enthusiastic and wealthy collectors are not satisfied with anything less 
 than perfect copies of all the editions of Champlain's Works. They are 
 also exceedingly scrupulous in obtaining them with large margins, and all 
 the maps and plates in fine condition. A fastidious collector, with only 
 ordinary greed of acquisition, may, however, rest well satisfied with a fair 
 sound copy of Champlain's Voyages of the edition of 1 632 with the original 
 map. He has therein all which the great discoverer wrote relating to New 
 France, as it finally left his own hands perfected. If, however, unsatisfied 
 longings still haunt his brain, he may add the edition of 1613 with its beau- 
 tiful plates and plans ; but let him beware of setting his heart on The Sau- 
 vages of 1 603, as he will most probably pass a lifetime without even seeing a 
 copy. Copies of any of the editions of Champlain in perfect condition are 
 exceedingly rare, and have, within a few years, risen to almost fabulous 
 prices. $150 each has been paid for the editions of 1613, 1618, 1620, 1627, 
 and 1632.

 Vol. HI. contains the "Journal of a Voyage," which has been translated into 
 English, and published in London and Dublin in two volumes. 
 
 The extraordinary man who was the author of these volumes left no subject 
 relating to the history of the affairs of his wonderful order in America un- 
 touched, and as the missions of the Company of Jesus among the Indians 
 were the principal purpose of the fathers in l)Oth of the Americas, the curi- 
 osity of Charlevoix permeated every accessible square mile of their surface to 
 learn the habits, the customs, and i;he secrets of the life of the strange people 
 his brethren sought to subdue to the influence of the cross. Father Char- 
 levoix accomplished results in his investigations which seem marvelous to us 
 in the vast accumulation of facts which his pen has illustrated. Of his numer- 
 ous "works, the Nouvelle France is the greatest achievement. 
 
 Father Charluvoi.x depended very largely for his authorities, upon the docu- 
 ments found in the Archives of the French Marine, but as these only cov- 
 ered the period subsequent to the establishment of that department under 
 the Minister Colbert, he has left the events prior to that era in some dark- 
 ness. The historical portion of his work therefore, partakes more of the na- 
 ture of a biographical narrative of the affairs of the Viceroys or Governors 
 of Canada, but is not the less interesting on that account. It is doubtless 
 the most truthful, as, being the work of a learned man, it is certainly the 
 most valuable treatise upon the affairs of New France. Father Charlevoix 
 however shared the prejudices of his order, against the missionaries of other 
 branches of the Catholic Church, and accordingly the works of those emi- 
 nent Recollects, Fathers Sagard and Hennepin, who preceded him, are much 
 decried by him. The works of Father LeClercq, although somewhat su- 
 perciliously treated in his " Histoire " have evidently aided him in his re- 
 searches. 
 
 It is doing no more than justice to the merit of Charlevoix to say that in all 
 the high qualities requisite for a great historian he had no superior. His 
 learning, his research, and his opportunities, were only equaled by his zeal, 
 his intelligence, and we had nearly said his impartiality. In only a very 
 limited number of instances can he be impeached on the charge of unfairness. 
 His partisanship for his own order most unjustly deprived of the privileges 
 won by the noblest selfsacrifices, inclined him to render at least only scant 
 justice to the Recollects, who anticipated the Jesuits in missions to the In- 
 dians of Canada. The Introduction has a most valuable criticism of the 
 anthoi-s who had written treatises upon the origin of the American Indians. 
 It is so copious as to extend over fifty-nine pages. 
 
 An almost endless variety exists in the editions and changes of position of the 
 parts in Charlevoix's three volumes. The Part [Ixi.] is often wanting, but 
 IS necessary to form a complete copy. Another edition was printed in Paris 
 in 1744 in 6 vols. 12°.

 This is a translation of the third volume of the Histoire de la Nouvelle France. 
 Another edition, and an entirely independent translation of Charlevoix's 
 work, was printed in one volume, London, 1763, entitled Letters to the Duchess 
 of Lesdiguieres. It is printed in a much inferior manner, and somewhat less 
 complete. The accounts of the Indians of Canada, as written by this emi- 
 nent historian, are among the most authentic wliich have ever been given us. 
 He was himself a missionary among them; conversant with other learned 
 priests who had spent their lives among the natives, and he had access to a 
 great mass of documents of most unsuspected veracity. His work teems 
 with tlie most vivid relations of their customs, religious rites, and other pecu- 
 liarities.

 These five volumes are all hitherto published ; the other it is asserted is 
 already in press. Of the quarto, twenty-five copies only were printed The 
 accurate scholarship, and the fastidious taste of Dr. Shea, are sufficient 
 guarantees that the work is a faithful translation, in graceful English, of 
 Father Charlevoix's great work.

 Father Chaumonot, born at Chatillon in 1611, was a missionary in Canada 
 from the Istof August, 1639, until his death, which happened in Quebec, Feb- 
 ruary 21, 1693. During this long period he was a missionary either to the 
 Hurons or the Iroquois. He wrote a Dictionary of the radical words of the 
 Huron language, with a grammar and catechism in the same tongue. These 
 three works remain in MSS. A translation of the Grammar was printed in 
 the second volume of the Quebec Historical Society.

 The first edition of this mucli esteemed worlc was printed in Spanish at Se- 
 villa in 1553, or seven years prior to this the first Italian imprint. Two other 
 editions are noted as printed in Venice during the same year. Only the first 
 of this work, to the everlasting regret of scholars, has ever been printed. The 
 second and third parts were known to exist in Madrid before Mr. Rich's 
 
 leriod ; of which the abiding-place to-day of only one has been discovered. 
 
 't rests in the collection of Mr. Lenox. The second and third parts of this 
 edition were written by Gomara.

 The second and third parts of this edition, commonly attributed to Cieza, were 
 written by Gomara, whose work was first printed at Medina in 155.3, Hav- 
 ing fallen under the ban in Spain, and strictly prohibited from circulation, it 
 found a place of refuge in Venice, from whence five editions were issued in a 
 period of seven years. The uniform testimony of scholars has placed the 
 work of Cieza in the same rank with that of Benzoni. Both are remarkable 
 for afibrding us the most authentic views of the primitive condition of the 
 Indians before tyranny had crushed, or civilization had corrupted them. 
 Both are the narrations of those who saw with intelligent eyes the memora- 
 ble things they described.

 This is the first English edition of Peter de Cieza's work. It was published 
 in Stevens' Collection of Voyages and Travels, in which also Lawson's 
 Carolina first appeared. Both of these works were also issued separate from 
 the collection, with the addition of distinct titles. The work purports to be 
 a translation of the First Part of Pedro di Cieza's History of Peru, and 
 in the main is a fair rendering of the original, except that it is somewhat 
 abridged, as instead of one hundred and nineteen chapters it has but ninety- 
 fonr. It is a curious and very intci'csting history, particularly of the secret 
 mysteries of the worship of the Ineas, and the peculiarities of each tribe 
 of Indians inhabiting Peru.

 The Onon(li\sa3 were the central tribe of the Six Nations, the guardians of 
 tlie sjrcat council fire, and the custodians of the important records of the 
 Confederacy. From their chiefs was selected the highest ofScirr, styled by 
 European- the King. Residing near them, as the author did for many 
 years, familiar with their observances, and often pi'esent at the great coun- 
 cils of the Confederacy, when numerous representatives of the tribes assem- 
 bled from their colonies around the upper lakes, he could not but be im- 
 bued with the desire to make his history of the county, a record of the 
 great tribes which once inhabited it. Mr. Clark has evidently examined al- 
 most every source of information regarding the Six Nations, we possess in 
 the English, French, and Spanish languages, and. accordingly the first 
 seventy-eight pages are occupied with a resume of what he thus gleaned. 
 But \t is in chapter v. pp. 79 to 125, that he adds entirely new material 
 to their history in his " Biographical Sketches of Distinguished Chiefs of the 
 Onondaga Tribe." This valuable work was principally derived from chiefs 
 or pioneers then living. Chapter vi. pp. 126 to 209, is devoted to an 
 account of the French Jesuit and Recollect Missions among the Onondagas, 
 and chapter vii. pp. 210 to 245, to a history of the English, Gorman, and 
 American Missions in the tribe ; the last chapter being entirely new ma- 
 terial in their history. Chapters viii. and ix. pp. 246 to 322, is occupied 
 with the early history of the Onondagas, being a collection of much 
 original matter, combined with gleanings from documentary and printed 
 accounts. Chapter x. pp. 322 to 363, entitled " Reminiscences," is tilled with 
 a list of aboriginal names and their signification, expeditions against the 
 tribe, treaties, and sketches of Indian traders resident in it. It will thus 
 be seen that the first volume of this wprk is in fact a history of the Onon- 
 daga tribe of the Six Nations, and holds the highest rank among treatises 
 on Aboriginal affairs for original and valuable information.

 In this work the author produces those lighter results of his research into 
 Indian history, which the dignity of his greater work did not permit to be 
 introduced. The traditions, legends, and the romantic shades of the chai^

 Captain Coats' narrative of his Toyages and travels along the shores of Hud- 
 son's Bay, and the rivers emptying therein, occupies pp. 1 to 92 of this vol? 
 ume, and is largely composed of curious details of the numerous tribes of 
 Indians that occupied the country a century and a half ago. Some of the 
 customs he mentions, have been the subject of no little controversy, in proof 
 and rebuttal of their actual existence. Of cannibalism especially, Captain 
 Coats narrates with corroboratory details more than one instance. Not the 
 least in interest to us, is his enumeration of tribes of savages, so long extinct 
 their very names had been forgotten but for his narrative.

 The first edition of Cockburn's very curious account, at first believed to be fic- 
 titious ; but in later years received as authentic. " A Brief Discovery of the 
 East Indies by Nicholas Withington " is added, which gave rise to the attrib- 
 uting' of Cockburn's account to the same author. His relations of incidents 
 of travel among the Indians of Central America, and his descriptions of the 
 peculiaiities of their character and customs, are valuable on account of its fill- 
 ing a period in the history of their characteristics not elsewhere to be found. 
 The work has been many times reprinted, with but slight variations in the 
 title, except in prefixing the phrase, The Unfortunate Englishman.

 Bradford in 1727. The two subsequent ones have additions, interpolations 
 to, and variations from, Colden's work, by English editors, who tagged their 
 own valueless observations, and absurd changes upon his work, without 
 marking them so as to be distinguishable. Dr. Shea gives in his Introduc- 
 tion, a valuable bibliographical notice of the editions, with collations of 
 their contents, and an analysis of them, noting the changes made by the 
 English editors or publishers- His notes, occupying pp. 121 to 141, are 
 characterized by the fullness, research, and exactness, with which the writer 
 always invests any subject he illustrates.

 Mr. Colton seems to have been imbued with the laudable design of affording 
 such information regardin;^ the Indians he visited, as would not only excite 
 the interest of his readers in his narration of incident, but would arouse the 
 sympathy of the humane to their wretched condition. Almost the entire 
 work is devoted to the relation of Indian affairs. More than half of the 
 first volume is occupied with personal observations of Aboriginal life, and 
 statements made to him regarding it. The second volume is entirely 
 filled with a collection of facts relating to their origin, wars, treaties, 
 treatment by the governments of Great Britain and the United States, and 
 the result of missions among them.

 The author, having been fortunate enough to escape assassination in a popu- 
 lar imeute, excited against the French Academicians, in Cuenca, during which 
 one of them fell a victim to the fury of the mob, returned to France with 
 the results of his scientific expedition. This work purports to be an abridg- 
 ment of his Relation, but it is a complete translation of the one published in 
 France. The author abridged his MSS., and published the narrative por- 
 tion, omitting the statistical and scientific parts. He examined with care 
 the condition of the Indians, and has some novel and interesting particulars 
 of their languages. He noted particularly that some tribes could enumerate 
 no more than three in their own tongue, and that their articulation of words 
 was performed wholly by inspiration, being utterly incapable of imitation by 
 the vocal organs of other nations. Many other interesting particulars of the 
 savages of Central South America are given by this savant. '

 Visited, are very judicious." — Ledsrc Oatalogue.

 This volume contains the evidence of the horrible massacre of unoffending 
 Indians at Sand Creek. Nothing in Las Casas' relations of Spanish atroc- 
 ities surpasses it. 
 Eight hundred miners, gamblers, and adventurers of the border, were enlisted 
 under Colonel Chivington, a preacher of the Methodist Church, to punish 
 some^ thefts of horses and murders committed by Indians, who would not 
 remain to be caught. A peaceable tribe of Cheycnncs and Shoshones, with 
 whom Major Wynkoop, United States agent, had made a treaty a few days 
 before, lay in the route, and hailed the approach of the army with tlie high- 
 est demonstrations of friendship. On these wretclied Indians, who absurdly 
 trusted in the promises and good faith of their white brethren, with whom 
 they had always remained at peace, the Christian whites determined to re- 
 venge all the outrages perpetrated by others. Having lulled all suspicion, 
 by artfully pacific overtures for several days. Colonel Chivington's army 
 silently surrounded the Indian camp, and a scene of most horrible massacre 
 commenced. The chiefs ran forward with wliite flags, repeating in English, 
 We are friends ; we are friends ! but the appeal was made in vain . No re- 
 sistance was made, and one hundred and seventy men, women, and children 
 were slain. 
 Colonel Chivington, good, pious clergyman, when appealed to, replied, " Damn 
 any man who sympathizes with Indians ;" and added, " I want no prisoners." 
 One Lieutenant Richmond distinguished himself so much that his name de- 
 serves to be damned to perpetual infamy. Observing that three squaws and 
 five cliildren had been talicn prisoners, he killed and scalped the whole of 
 them, while they were screaming for mercy. 
 The atrocities that were perpetrated upon the bodies of the slain would tax the 
 cleverest ingenuity of devils to invent its parallel. Every one of the dead was 
 scalped, but in this the Christian whites only equaled the savages. The 
 genitiils of both sexes were cut off. The skins of the males were dried for 
 tobacco-pouches, and those of the genitals of the women were worn as hat- 
 bands, and in one instance as a pair of mustaches. Colonel Chivington 
 saw, without remonstrance, these horrible deeds performed around him. To 
 the truth of these statements we so unwillingly believe, nearly one hun- 
 dred witnesses testified befoi'o a committee of Congress, and their examinar 
 tions are recorded in this volume.

 This is an attempt to justify one of the foulest, most cruel, and cowardly 
 massacres of an unoffending people that was ever committed. The Paxton- 
 men were a mob of poltroons, who preferred to murder unarmed men and 
 boys to risking their worthless carcasses on the frontier, fighting the savages 
 who ravaged their homesteads almost unresisted.

 The humane but unpopular project of the excellent Secretary of the Treas-

 nations.

 The author, horn at Plymouth in 1679, received the impetus which impelled 
 liim to the construction of this work, from his father, John Cotton, who 
 aided Eliot in the translation of the Bible into the same language. The In- 
 dian apostle acknowledged his obligation to the elder Cotton's knowledge of 
 the Natick language. Beside the advantages of his father's instruction, the 
 author's frequent intercourse with the Indians as a civil ofiBcer, a neighbor, 
 and an occasional missionary among them, aiforded him ample opportunities 
 of becoming familiar with the intricacies of their speech. 
 
 The MS. of the work, written in 1708, had remained unedited until the year 
 1829.

 The few evidences of the great stature of the Patagonians, which are cited 
 by the witty Abbe, are used only as a cover for him to cast his shafts of 
 satire at the English laws, customs, and government. After sufficiently 
 proving the existence of gigantic Patagonians, he proceeds to describe a fan- 
 cied code of domestic, social, and political laws, by the exercise of which this 
 stature was reached and preserved. The whole imaginative scheme affords 
 him a medium for exhibiting the deficiencies and absurdities of the practices 
 of the subjects of his satire.

 The narration of the services of the Moravian missionaries, in the conversion 
 and civilization of the Aborigines of Greenland, is not excelled in heroism and 
 self-devotion by any beings whose actions history records, escept the Evan- 
 gelists of the Society of Jesus. The rigors of an Arctic winter, where the 
 temperature falls to 80° below zero, the horrors of a residence amid the unre- 
 vealable filth of an Esquimaux hut, the constant dangers of starvation, ship- 
 wreck, and disease, did not deter them fi-om suffering the experience which 
 enabled them to record this interesting narrative of the native habits of the 
 savages, as well as the steps by which so many of them approached civiliza- 
 tion and Christianity.

 The life of an officer during one of the ordinary paroxysms of Indian war 
 is not generally fertile in incidents, but what with skirmishes with the war- 
 like Camanches, and hunts for the assassin Apaches, the service of Major 
 Cremony was tolerably adventurous. The Apache, the Thug of American 
 Aborigines, was more closely approached and studied by him during his 
 twenty years of border life, than by any other writer.

 Many of the plates are portraits of Indian chiefs and plans of ancient fortifi-

 The author was a gentleman of Normandy who passed twenty-four years of 
 his life in North America. Ho is styled in several works one of the first 
 victims of the war of Independence, but this suffering must be understood 
 as affecting his property rather than his person. His work contains some 
 curious details on the state of the aborigines, before the arrival of Europeans 
 in that part of North America which he visited. It is annoimccd on the 
 title-page as a simple translation, but it is well known to be the work orig- 
 inally of John Crevecoeur, and is to be regarded probably as a continuation 
 of his Lcttei's of an American farmer {Letters d'uii Cultiuateur Americain).

 The author has given unimpeachable evidence in his work, of that familiarity 
 with his subject, which must precede ability to write a valuable treatise upon 
 It. He has in its pages analyzed the Iroquois and Algonquin languages, 
 compared, and treated them grammatically so as to afford a very clear and 
 extensive comprehension of their structure to the student. He is equally 
 
Indian BiUiography. 93 
 
 severe upon Mr. Schoolcraft and Mr. Kenan and cnriotisly enough, in pun- 
 ishment of the same crime in each — audacious ignorance. The erndite and 
 ingenious Renan, and the industrious but illiterate Schoolcraft, both suffer 
 impalement, the one for constructing a hypothesis upon the structure of the 
 Aboriginal tongues, and the other for scheming a similar edifice upon that 
 of the Greek — while neither author knew a word of the languages on which 
 he built his fabric. Mr. Schoolcraft determines to find a modern origin for 
 the Iroquois word Haw-en-ni-i-o, " True God " and therefore says it is com- 
 posed of Niio, corrupted from the French Dieu, and the Greek Deo, and the 
 native prefix Haweu. Mr. Renan is equally unhappy in finding a good 
 basis for some of his realistic dogmas in the assumed want of systematic 
 structure of the American Aboriginal languages. Mr. Cuoq exhibits a 
 regularity in grammatical arrangement that rivals the Latin, in the system 
 and extent of the Iroquois and Algonquin, in which qualities indeed they 
 are only excelled in his opinion by the monarch of languages. 
 
 The excellent author, who modestly conceals himself under the enigmatical 
 letters N. 0., is known to be the Rev. Father Cuoq, who for twenty years was 
 in charge of the mission at the Lake of Two Mountains, an Indian village in 
 Canada. Here for many years have resided a portion of two tribes repre- 
 senting the Iroquois and Algonquin races ; the latter a branch of the great 
 Chippewa nation called the Sauteaux. Here for nearly a century have the 
 children of these two aboriginal races been in contact without blending, or 
 even associating with that degree of familiarity which each exhibits for the 
 more distant white race. 
 
 Half a century ago McLean found them the same. The Catholic church and 
 seminaiy divide the village into nearly two equal parts, and the natives of 
 each nation seldom pass their respective limits into the territory of the other. 
 With few exceptions they cannot converse together, as the languages are so 
 radically different as to be mutually perfectly unintelligible. Even within 
 the sacred walls of the church of their common religion they do not meet ; as 
 Father Cuoq conducts the services of the Catholic faith alternately, morning 
 and evening in their respective languages. Situated in these most fortuitous 
 circumstances for obtaining a perfect comprehension of the radical differences 
 of their formation, there has probably never existed any person better fitted 
 to write the treatise he has presented us. The structure of these two repre- 
 sentative tongues is complete, each in its own form, and yet nowhere touch- 
 ing, nowhere in common, either in enunciation, grammatical basis, radi- 
 cals or derivatives. Were the natives of one nation emigrants from China, 
 and the other from Wales, there would be equal points of similarity.

 Almost the whole value which attaches to this scarce book, is comprised in 
 the narrative of the captivity of Le Raye. His Journal of personal ex- 
 perience among the fierce Sioux has much more than the usual modicum of 
 real merit, to which such relations are entitled, as it is the result of tlie ob- 
 servations, regarding the habits of this nomad nation, of a man of some in- 
 telligence. Le Uaye's Journal was never published in any other form than 
 the present edition.

 to be found recorded in these Reports of the Jesuit missionaries to their su-

 to conceal ; they were not designed as a proclamation of their success, and 
 therefore we may regard them as veracious.

 The first thirty-two pages are devoted to " Relation of the Mission among the 
 Hurons," and pp. 33 to 144 are entitled, "Relation of the Missions among 
 the Iroquois." " The Missions to the Algonquin People called Outaouacs," 
 is the subject of pp. 115 to 219. The Relations are very minute, as they only 
 cover the period of two years, and extend to 219 pages. 
 
 Father Dablon was a French Missionary, of the Order of the Jesuits, who 
 travelled more than thirty years in the service of the Cross. He was rector 
 of the College of Quebec and Father Superior of the Mission of Canada. 
 
 The two volumes arc printed from manuscripts preserved at Quebec and Mon- 
 treal in the Jesuit colleges, and form the last documents which exist of the 
 Relations of the Missions of that order in that country.

 This book is an example of the most unblushing effrontery. The pseudo 
 author assumes the credit of the performance with but the faintest allusion 
 to its previous existence. It is a nearly faithful translation of Rochefort's 
 Hisloire des Antilles. There is. however, a gratifying retribution in Davies' 
 treatment of Kochefort, for the work of the latter was fictitious in every part 
 which was not purloined from authors whose knowledge furnished him with 
 all in his treatise which was true.

 Beside the narrations of Cabepa de Vaca, Niza, and other printed accounts 
 of Spanish explorations, the author has availed himself of the MSS. which 
 his official position, soon after the conquest of the country by the United 
 States, placed in his custody. His narrative of the prolonged hostilities be- 
 tween the Spaniards and the Indians, the religious rites, method of warfare, 
 and peculiar ceremonies of the latter, is fresh, vigorous, and highly interesting.

 This is certainly one of the most thorough, complete, and authentic treatises, 
 relating to the Border "Wars of the West, ever printed. The tine portraiture 
 of aboriginal character, the narration of the minutest incidents of camp, 
 treaty, and war, and the style of simple candor adopted by a scholarly mind, 
 all commend the narrative to our judgment, and attract our interest in its 
 progress.

 If there ever existed a tribe of savages who were recognized by such a title, 
 it was sufficient warrant for their extermination ; and judged by this rule 
 the author himself had but little advantage. He terminates his narrative 
 by marriage with a maiden of Spencer in New Hampshire, where he fixed 
 his habitation in 1794. Whether the author was ever a captive to any sav- 
 age tribe is somewhat uncertain ; his narrative is at all events little better 
 than a fiction. It is one of the rarest of books relating to the aborigines.

 and by the Defense of the Author of the Researches against that Disserta- 
 tion."] 
 
 Vol. I. and pp. 366 of Vol. II. are occupied with the Pliilosophical Rescavches 
 of M. V)c Pauw. Dom Pernetty wrote an able controyersial reply, which is 
 printed at the end of the Researches in Vol. II. with the title "Dissertation 
 sur 1' Amerique et les Americaines, contre les Rccherches Philosophiques 
 
 de M. De P , par Dom Pernetty." [Dissertation on America and the 
 
 Americans, against the Philosophical Researches of Mr. De Pauw.] pp. 1 to 
 133. Vol. III. is entirely devoted to the rejoinder of M. De Pauw. A fourth 
 volume of this controversy, written by Dom Pernetty, was subsequently 
 printed (1771), entitled, "Examen des liecherches Philosophiques sur 
 I'Amerique et les Americains et de la defense de cet ouvrage, par Dom Per- 
 netty." [Examination of the Researches Philosophic on America and the 
 Americans, and of the Defense of that work, by Dom Pernetty.] " This 
 rejoinder," savs Mr. Rich, " of Dom Pernetty, in which he exposes the blun- 
 ders and unfair conduct of De Pauw, is much more ably written than his first 
 work." A fifth work upon the same subject appeared in 1771, of which Mr. 
 Rich has this note : — 
 
 ■' A lively and humorous defense of the American Indians, attributed by Mon- 
 sel to M. Poivre ; but Barbier says that it is either M. Bonneville or Dom 
 Pernetty. Now Poivre was never in America, and Bonneville was only 
 eleven years of age at this time. As it is not probable that Dom Pernetty 
 wrote two works on the same subject in the same year, all these conjectures 
 as to the authorship are probably erroneous." Mr. Sabin attributes it to 
 Bonneville. 
 
 In volumes one and two De Pauw labors to prove the inferior scale upon 
 which nature has organized men, animals, and vegetation in America. The 
 character of the American Aborigines receives the principal force of his at- 
 tack. Dom Pernetty, with forcible arguments, defended them in his " Dis- 
 sertation." To this De Pauw rejoined in his " Defense," which was again 
 answered by Dom Pernetty in his " Examen."

 pp. 183 to 248, a " Portrait of the Indians before the arrival of the Europeans, 
 — means employed to civilize them." This relation is drawn from docu- 
 ments, narrations of persons with whom he conversed, and from personal 
 observation. On pp. 342 to 362 is a description of the locality and effect of 
 the missions among the natives, and pp. 369 to 384 are devoted to expul- 
 sion of the Caribs, and expeditions in search of El Dorado.

 The first edition of Diclcenson's "Narrative of Captivity among tlie Indians 
 of Florida" was printed in Philadelphia 1699, by Eeinier Jansen, and is er- 
 roneously accredited with being the first book printed in that city. It is, 
 consequently, one of the most costly, as it is certainly one of the rarest gems 
 of the book collector. A perfect copy would be eagerly seized by half a score 
 of this class at any price, less than one hundred and fifty dollars. An im- 
 perfect copy brought eighty-five dollars at Fisher's sale. The second edition 
 IS almost equally rare, at least I have never seen, or indeed known of a copy. 
 Copies of the third edition, although not by any means so rare as the others, 
 are far from common.

 This work is a translation of the preceding, made by the daughter of Robert 
 Southey, the poet. 
 
 Martin Dobrizhoeffer, bom in 1717, was one of those extraordinary men, who 
 organized in Paraguay a government that has not ceased to excite the won- 
 der and perplex the reason of all who tried to comprehend its strange anom- 
 alies. For a century and a half it existed as a pure hierarchy, insulated and 
 intact; more mysterious than the fabled Amazonian Republic, or the equally 
 mythical El Dorado. For a half century succeeding it has remained the 
 only example of a people, professing to be free, existing under a tyranny 
 supported solely by themselves. 
 
 Not the least of the wonders of that land of mysteries is it, to see occasionally 
 emerge from its obscurity a mind of extraordinary ability in government, 
 power of reasoning, or breadth of scholarship. The author of these volumes 
 was a man of learning, who in 1736 entered the order of .Jesuits, and in 1749, 
 in obedience to the commands of his general, commenced the appalling labor 
 of attempting the civilization and christianizing of one of the fiercest and 
 most superstitious, of all the savage tribes of American Indians. His mis- 
 sion among them lasted through eighteen years of living martyrdom ; which 
 he survived to write and publish this work in the Latin tongue. It is the 
 most complete, faithful, and interesting detail of the life, habits, and char- 
 acter of a savage tribe which was ever written. Southey, when praising the 
 work, only speaks the language of every scholar or writer who has perused 
 it. In chapters xvi. and xvii. of Vol. II., pp. 159 to 206, he treats of the 
 language of the Abipones, with a grammatical analysis of the language, and 
 in chapter xviii. is found a translation of the Symbol, of the Cross into five 
 Indian dialects.

 Doddridge's work was drawn from original sources, mostly of personal obser- 
 vation, or from the actors in the Border Wars he depicts. No one except 
 Withers has approached him in fidelity or exactness, and both have the best 
 attestation to the value of their works, in the frequent reproduction of them 
 in Collections and Narratives of Border Warfare without acknowledgment 
 of the sources from which all that is valuable has been taken. Some of these 
 pirated reprints are as scarce as the originals, of which retributive rarity 
 Kerchcval's Valley of Virginia, and Bickley's History of Indian Wars of Taze- 
 well County, Virginia, are instances. Perfect copies of all these works are 
 rare.

 In this dissertation the author controverts the sentiment of Mr. de Pauw, that 
 America occupies an inferior position in the scale of Nature, to other parts 
 of the world ; and that the degradation of the American Indians, as well as 
 the inferior size, ferocity, and utility of its animals, proves it. Monsieur de

 Another attack on De Pauw's assumptions, entitled Examen des Recherches, 
 a defense of the American Indians, was printed in 1771, which closed a con- 
 troversy on the part of these writers that had been much more ably con- 
 ducted, more than a century previous, by Grotius, Hornius, and De Laet.

 The First Section is entitled "Notice of the Ancient American Manuscripts, 
 and of The Book of the Savages." This unhappy work afforded a sensation 
 to the literary world of Europe, not less unusual than univer.sal. From 
 every study, library, and bookseller's rooms arose a shout of laughter, that 
 the soul or Rebelais might have envied. No Frenchman, since that ribald 
 wit left the earth, has excited suchachorusof unextinguishablecachinnation. 
 Unfortunately for the Abbe Domenech the parallel between himself a?id Ra- 
 belais soon ceases, the world laughs not with him but at him. Ho has been 
 the victim of an imposture so rank, that we should wonder not less than we 
 admire his self delusion, if he had not dragged so many considerable people 
 into the same net. 
 
 His MS. work received the sanction of the Emperor himself, so far as to 
 direct the Minister of State to furnish the means of its publication. In his 
 Dedication to M. Lacroix, he says : " You will recall among the men of all 
 nations who thronged your drawing-rooms, a pale sad young man recently 
 returned from the solitudes of the New World. Poor child, among your 
 exotics," etc., etc. This poor child was informed by M. Lacroix that his des- 
 tiny was literary eminence, and advised to set out on the road at once. 
 Looking about for some subject to employ the talent so recently discovered, 
 his ill fortune led him to the Arsenal Library purchased from the Marquis 
 de Paulmy, where he encountered a MS. of 114 leaves, entitled Livre des 
 Sauvages. It would seem impossible, on the merest glance at the spt'awling 
 pictures, that any person in this matter-of-fact world could have arrived at 
 any other conclusion regarding the MS. than that it was a child's drawing- 
 book. But the eyes of a pale enthusiast looking for his destiny, can see the 
 history of a thousand years in the track of an ink-bedraggled fly. There is 
 a persistence in self-delusion that can-ies the dupe on to his destruction. 
 Besides, a French savant is ready to believe in anything except his God. 
 Accordingly the Abbe Domenech wrote a treatise on the MS., which he de- 
 clared to be the work of some Indian chief of Canada. IIo said that Bot- 
 turini, Torquemadi, Tsehudi, and Kingsborough had done much to illustrate 
 Aztec and Inca MSS., but hitherto nothing had been found to enlighten the 
 darkness of the story of the Northern Indians. It was reserved for his for-

 tune to draw aside the veil. Indeed, he was obliged to hasten, as he learned 
 to his dismay that a copy had been made by an American savant, with the 
 view to its publication by the United States Government. The glory of France, 
 he declared to the Emperor's confidant, was involved in this attempt to snatch 
 from her the fame of bringing to light so precious a document illustrative of 
 her former renown in New France. Sufficient however is it for our mirth that 
 the work was published only to discover that the MS. was either the work 
 of some mischief-loving inventor, or of a sick child whiling away the hours 
 of illness. Since then the Emperor, the Emperor's household, and Abbe 
 Domenech have been industriously employed in destroying all the copies 
 they can procure, consequently they are exceedingly rare.

 Little is to be said regarding this narrative, except that it is written by the 
 author of Livre des bauvages. But a very small portion of it relates to the

 Whatever the length of time actually spent in the region which he professes 
 to have traversed, the Abbe Domenech's heavy volumes contain but little 
 more than a resume of the Pacific Eailroad Keports, with a reproduction 
 of many of the plates published in them. He has also industriously gleaned 
 from every source he found available, and compiled a mass of material not 
 without value and merit Beside the pictures of scenery obtained from vari- 
 ous sources, the Abbe gives many representatives of Indian antiquities, 
 utensils, and weapons. A category of the Indian Tribes of North America, 
 and some short vocabularies of some of their languages, form perhaps the 
 most valuable portion of these volumes. The entire absence of narrative 
 of personal observations, eifectually belies the suggestions of the title of a 
 residence of seven years in the countries he depicts.

 The shout of laughter with which Europe resounded, at the expense of the 
 Emperor Napoleon and his protege, the Abbe Domenech, on the appearance 
 of his book Xc Livre des Sauvages, had scarcely subsided when the Abbe 
 issued this pamphlet as a defense of his unfortunate book. He founds his 
 claim for its authenticity upon the reselnblance between the schoolboy's 
 drawings which had deluded him, and some inscriptions found on the rocks 
 in New Mexico and Sonora, both of which he illustrates in the plates at the 
 end of the work.

 of his edition by reproducing the abridged text of Cotton Mather's The 
 Troubles (etc) had with the Indian Salvages, from the Seventh Book of his 
 Magnolia on the same pages, and blended with the material of the other 
 work. The Arma Virosq and the Decennium Luctuosum would have formed a

 Mather's first work on the Indian Wars, was hurriedly brought forward to 
 forestall the vastly superior one of his reverend brother, Wm. Hubbard. Noth- 
 ing is more apparent than the jealousy of the eminent theologian, for as Mr. 
 Drake observes, " When it is considered that the war was not ended until the 
 autumn of 1676, the year in which it was printed, it must be apparent to 
 every reader that the work was a hurried performance."

 This collection of documents consist of (1.) "The Narrative of the

 dians, to induce the Magistrates of the Republique of New England to aid 
 them against the Iroquois, " pp. 5 to 24. (2.) " Reflections on the hope

 throp," in Latin. The same, translated into French. (4.) Extracts from 
 the Journal of Father Lalemant, and the Letter written by the CouncU at 
 
 Quebec to the New England authorities. 
 
 These documents narrate the story of that extraordinary negotiation between 
 the authorities of Canada and the Christian Abnaquis, on the one part, and 
 the colonies of Boston and Plymouth on the other. In September, 1651, 
 Father Dreuillettes set out on his long and perilous mission through the wild 
 forests intervening between Quebec and Boston, where he arrived on the eighth 
 of September. The object of his mission was to induce the New England 
 colonies to unite in a league with the Christian Abnaquis residing on the 
 Kennebec against the terrible Iroquois. The minutes of this embassy were 
 for a long period lost, which Father Charlevoix greatly lamented, and much 
 desired to peruse. It was the good fortune of Mr. Shea to recover them, 
 as it is ours that he possessed the generous enthusiasm of a historian in com- 
 municating them. They inform us that Father Dreuillettes was received with 
 Christian kindness by the Puritans, and that Winthrop, Endicott, Winslow, 
 and Bradford warmly approved his design. Four tribes of the New Eng- 
 land Indians and a powerful Southern nation agreed to the Confederation, 
 and Father Dreuillettes departed, with a firm conviction that his mission had 
 succeeded. Had the Puritans carried out the terms of this treaty, it is more 
 than probable, that New England would have escaped the bloody massacres 
 inflicted upon her citizens during a century, by the Northern Indians.

 The author has in pp. 117 to 3-38, Vol. I., treated minutely the subject of the 
 customs and ceremonies of the aborigines of the province, and almost the 
 whole of Vol. II. is devoted to the history of the wars of the French with the 
 various tribes which inhabited the vast territory then known as Louisiana. 
 The editor of Dumont's Memoirs has told the story of the events of this bor- 
 der warfare in a style at once concise and interesting, but with few of the de- 
 tails and minute particulars which we so much desire at this period. 
 
 The work is embellished with maps and plates. It is found in some Cata- 
 logues under Butel-Dumont. Mr. French translated the Historical Nar- 
 rative, and printed it in Volume V. of the Louisiana Historical Collec-

 The Tshimshean Indians occupy a district on the Pacific coast lying between 
 Fraser and Simpson rivers, north of Queen Charlotte's Sound. They are 
 divided into ten tribes, speaking the same dialect, each governed by three or 
 four chiefs. The elevation of rank to which each is entitled is indicated by 
 the height of a pole erected in front of his wigwam. So imperial is the dig- 
 nity to which some eminent savages attain, that it can only be shown by a 
 pole one hundred feet in height. Sanguinary fights are caused by the erec- 
 tion of too high a pole, and a beaten chief is literally obliged to cut his stick. 
 Mr. Duncan spent ten years in his efforts to Christianize the members of this 
 confederacy of savage tribes. The work is a relation of his labors and their 
 results drawn up from his letters and reports, by some friend in England, 
 principally in the language of their writer. In addition to the difficulties 
 and dangers of a missionary's labors among a savage people, he had to con- 
 tend with the most besotted stupidity, and mulish obstinacy and apathy, 
 which ever characterized a race. One of the pleasing pastimes of the chiefs 
 was to nourish a design, for three or four days, of killing some person, with- 
 out any animosity against him or her except pure appetite for bloodshed, of 
 which every Indian was aware except the doomed wretch himself.

 of expeditions against the Indians of \Vestcin I'cnnsylviuiiii ; tlie siiijje of 
 frontier forts by tlic savages, and the massni'rcs of white families along the 
 border settlements. The Appendix, occupying more than hii If the work, is

 Two college Tenths (both anthers being less than m-entv years ef age), having 
 written a poem with Indian characters, proceeded to examine history a little 
 for notes to illustrate it. They fonnd, as the surviving editor frankly says, 
 that history and their poem were quite divergent. They could not correct 
 the poem without destroying its whole scheme, so they printed eight pages 
 of historical notes at the end as a corrective.

 The author of this Belation was a Quaker residing in Ipswich and Hampton, 
 who was driven, by the intolerance of the Puritans, to Ehode Island in 1638. 
 He suffered in person from the incursions of the Indians, who bnmed his 
 house at Newport the next year. Easton is the only early writer upoA the 
 wars of the New Englanders with the Indians who ventures to doubt that 
 the Almighty was on the side of the slaughtering Puritans ; and Satan him- 
 self commanding the savages. He seems anxious to give an impartial and 
 just relation of the war and its causes ; but, like all the members of his sect, 
 could not resist the sympathy which that sense of justice aroused. He 
 shows clearly that the greed and cupidity of the stem Puritans, were as po- 
 tent causes of an unnecessary and cruel war upon the wronged owners of 
 the soil, as they are to-day in our age of Indian agents and speculators.

 The first English translation of a portion of Peter Martyr's work, containing 
 the first three Decades. To Kicharde Eden Mr. Ricli devotes a pafre of elo- 
 quent praise, and quotes the frlowinjj; passage in his preface in which he 
 recites the motive which prompted the work. 'I'licse Decades, first printed 
 in L;\tiii in 1516, contain prolmbly the first systematic and critical narra- 
 tion of the peculiarities of religion and customs of the American Indians. 
 Both this and the subsequent edition of 1.577 are considered nmonjr the 
 rarities of bihliography. In cataloj;ues of recent issue in Enjfland, the prices 
 at which copies have been offered vary from .£1.5 to .£21. Although valued 
 principally for that portion translated from Peter Martyr, the work is usually 
 accredited to and catalojiued under Kdcn, as he was the author, or at least the 
 editor, of much the larj^er portion of it. t^ub^equent editions of the eight 
 decades are noticed under the name of Peter Martyr.

 This second English translation of a part of Peter Martyr's (Anghiera) De- 
 cades of the New World, bears not the slightest recognition of its real author 
 on the title-page. Willes added to this edition a translation of a part of the 
 Fourth Decade of Peter Martyr's work, but without the division into books 
 which Eden preserved. This additional portion is almost wholly descriptive 
 of the peculiarities of the aborigines, and terminates with folio 173. A com- 
 pilation from Oviedo and other writers occupies folios 183 to 236. The re. 
 mainder of the work, like the edition of 1555, contains nothing relating to'

 The very able author of this treatise was not the first to analyze the Aborig 
 inal language of New Kngland, and reduce it to rules, yet his brief work is 
 remarkable for suggesting the radical basis of the Mulihekanew dialect, 
 and exhibiting its structural difference from the Mohawk. He was however 
 the first to show the affinity of all the Algonquin dialects, and trace the basal 
 relationship of all the Eastern tongues with those of the Long Island, Del- 
 aware, Shawnese and Chippeway Indians. He was eminently fitted for this 
 seiTice to ethnology from his peculiar fortune in being associated with all 
 these tribes. Commencing a familiar acquaintance with the Mohegans at 
 Stockbridge, when only six years of age, and at a period when the town 
 contained but twelve families of European lineage to one hundred and 
 fifty of Indian birth, his youth was spent vdth the native boys for school- 
 mates and playfellows. Out of his father's house he seldom heard the 
 enunciation of any language but that spoken by Indian tongues. To him, 
 therefore, the Mohegan language became his vernacular. In his tenth year 
 he was sent among the Six Nations to learn their language, and thus, al- 
 though resident with them for less than a year, became fitted for his work 
 of comparison of the two radically different tongues. The obvious difference 
 between the guttural, harsh, and by civilized organs almost unpronounceable 
 language of the Six Nations, and the liquid flowing tongue of the Mohegan 
 and New England tribes, could not but elicit his attention and curiosity in 
 after life to analyze the causes of this diversity. The following are the prin- 
 cipal characteristics of these tongues he notices ; No word of the Iroquois 
 corresponds to any of the Algonquin. The Algonquin has no gender, no 
 infinitive mood, or abstract verb. The action always is associated in ex- 
 pression with the noun, no relative pronouns, no abstract adjective, as quality 
 13 always expressed by varying the noun, a different noun being used to ex- 
 press differing qualities' of the same thing. Thus, there are no abstract 
 terms for things commonljr expressed with relation to other nouns. The 
 Iroquois dialects have few if any labials, the Algonquin abounds in them. 
 It is impossible to express a simple action in either tongue as, John strikes. 
 The action must always be connected with its nominative, and if transitive, in 
 connection with both nominative and objective, and even then by the cir- 
 cumlocutory phrase "John he strikes him Peter." All these curious philo- 
 logical traits are veiy clearly analyzed in this treatise. 
 Egede (Hans). 
 
 A Description of Greenland. By Hans Egede, who was a Mis- 
 sionary in that Country for Twenty-five Years. A New edition,

 on wood, &c. Second edition. 8" pp. ciii. and 225. London,

 Chapters vii. to xx., pp. 100 to 225, are devoted to descriptions of the occu- 
 pations, implements, habitations, persons, customs, habits, mourning, pas- 
 times, etc., of the natives of Greenland. 
 
 In chapter xv. is given a specimen of one of their songs in the Esquimaux 
 language with the parallel passages in English, occupying four pages. Chap- 
 ter xvi. treats of the principles of that tongue with a vocabulary and gram- 
 matical analysis of twelve pages. Although the quaint relation of the Danish 
 missionary Egede affords us little information regarding the natives of Green- 
 land which has not often been printed, yet his narratives of incidents among 
 them, and descriptions of their characteristics at that early day (1721), are 
 valuable as historical records.

 This is the fourth of that series of reports of the " Corporation for Propagat- 
 ing the Gospel among the Indians of New England," which began in 1643, 
 and continued at irregular intervals to 1671. The complete series consists 
 of eleven, and is probably, next to tlie Jesuit Relations, the most difficult to 
 reassemble in good copies, of any works relating to American History. Some 
 of these Protestant relations of missions among the Indians, bring almost 
 fabulous prices. One hundred and seventy dollars has been paid fur that of 
 1659 (No. 9), and one hundred dollars was paid both by Mr. Menzies and 
 myself for tliat of 1671. They are doubtless all written by the hand, or 
 from material furnished by the writings of John Eliot. No series of works 
 relating to American history are more sought for ; and the collector who 
 possesses a large part of either the Catholic or Protestant Relations of Mis- 
 sions, while lie has something to boast of, has still a long period of ex- 
 pectancy to keep alive his interest, before he will complete either one of 
 them.

 The collation of this meitiorahle work of the Apostle Eliot is rendered much 
 more difficult by the entire absence of pagination ; and the variations made 
 apparently by the translator himself. A few copies, said by Thomas to 
 have been not more than twenty, were sent to England, with a dedication to 
 King Charles of two leaves. Others have an English title, in place of the 
 Indian, and a few have both. A perfect copy may be deemed to consist 
 of the following named contents : Title 1 Ieaf-|- Contents 1 leaf+ Text A

 It will be seen that the New Testament was printed two years prfevioOs to 
 the other portion of the Scriptures. Not the least of the many features of 
 interest which concentrate in this volume, are the statements of undoubted 
 authorities, that Eliot was engaged for ten years in its translation ; that it was 
 the first Bible printed in America ; that a large portion of the composition 
 in the printing of the second edition at least, was performed by Indian 
 James ; and that the work was three years in passing through the press. 
 But it exists ffir us like some vast monolith erected by a race which has 
 passed away. Every individual who could speak, or understand the divine 
 words uttered in that tongue, perished a century ago. It remained for a 
 scholar of our generation, Mr. J. Hammond Trumbull, to revive this extinct

 language, and ho has found in its stud^ something more than the mcro grati- 
 fication of literary curiosity. Tlie edition of fifteen hundred co]iies recom- 
 mended to 1)0 printed by the Cor|Hiration, was exhausted in twonty years. 
 Even the " two hundred copies of the New Testament, strongly bound in 
 leather for the immediate use of the Indians," woro probably worn out. Ac- 
 cordingly in 1680 another edition of two thousand of the Now Testament 
 was printed ; and in 1685, the same number of the Old Testament. The 
 second edition is complete with 607 leaves, the Old Testament containing 
 425; the New Testament 131; I'sahns and Catechism 51 loaves. Eliot 
 did not receive from the Pilgrim fathers that aid in his great work which ho 
 had a riglit to demand. The funds riiised in England for Christianizing the 
 Indians were diverted from that purpose, by the Puritan authorities ; and it 
 was not <mtil peremptory orders from the Corporation compelled them to 
 restore them that he found them available for his designs. 
 Although this work was considered so exceedingly rare a few years since, that 
 it was asserted that but three copies were known to exist, the zeal of Ameri- 
 can bibliophilists has brought to light in this country no less than 2.3 copies 
 of the lirst edition. They are distributed in the libraries of the iiuUowing 
 named gentlemen : Hon. Henry 0. Mur])hy, Brooklyn, L. I., 2; iVIr. T. W.

 Notwithstanding this considerable niimbor of known copies in this country, in 
 addition to at least nine in Europe, the price of cacli siu'ccssivc copy of-

 copies in London for twenty sliillings, and in 1870 Mr. Quarritch sold an- 
 other for £250, or nearly two thousand dollars of the United States currency 
 of that date.

 [Essay on this question : When and hpw has America been peopled with men 
 and animals ? by E. B. d'Engel.] 
 D'Engcl, with great sounding of trumpets, that he is about to propound a 
 theory of the population of America both novel and impregnable, asserts 
 that it was antediluvian in its origin. He berates Grotius, IJcLaet, and 
 Homius in detail, but he groups Acosta, Lescarbot, Brerewood, and Moraes 
 with " plusiers ecrivains,' and dismisses them altogether with contempt. 
 He argues at great length to reconcile his theory with the sacred writings, 
 and to account for the but partial submersion of the surface of the globe.

 This, although with the same date, is really a different, somewhat later, and 
 generally inferior edition to the first. The only point of superiority consists 
 in the addition of the fourth part. The typo from which it was printed, 
 was much smaller, of a meaner style .and worn, the paper of a poorer quality, 
 and the general appearance greatly inferior. 
 The first three books of the second edition are not tmfrcquently found unac- 
 companied by the fourth, and the imperfect work is believed to lie complete 
 on account of the finis and the table.

 rii. and viii., pp. 77 to 105 of the same part, are almost wholly ocenpied with 
 a description of the habits, relij;;;ion, and mode of warfare of tlie Indians of 
 Costa Rica, with cuts of their weapons. The fierce French and English 
 marauders, who so constantly overcame the Spaniards, were a-i constantly 
 checked or defeated whenever they assailed the Indians of the Isthmus or 
 the adjacent eounti'ies. But the most noteworthy historical fact elucidated 
 by thi-i volnme, is the proof of the retributive fruit of vengeance forever pro- 
 duced from the vile seeds of cruelty. The Spaniard, who for a century and 
 a half had devastated the countries of the Indians, with cruelties born of 
 hell, was now to become the prey of fiends as ferocious and vindictive but 
 more powerful than himself. There were burnings at the stake, there were 
 venerable men flayed alive, beautiful women forced to subiriit to the lust of 
 the most loathsome of the human race, children impaled on bayonets, and 
 men hung by their privates ; but the victims were no longer miserable In- 
 dians. Alas, they were not even the perpetrators of the cruelties suffered by 
 the natives. The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children.

 Mr. Evans was the Governor of Colorado Territory at the time of the horrible 
 Sand Creek Massacre of friendly Indians. Although not in the immediate 
 command of the murdering horde under Colonel Chivington, wlio perpetrated 
 the frightful atrocities narrated under the title of " Condition of tlio Indian 
 Tribes," yet he organized the force, and is charged with having given the in- 
 struction to Colonel Chivington, whicli has made his name iTifamous. Gov- 
 ernor Evans' popularity was so much augmented with the cruel 1)orderers and 
 bloodthirsty adventurers of the territory, that he was elected to tlic United 
 States Senate, where he met a civilized community, who were horrified at the 
 crimes he had authorized, and was compelled to print this lame exculpation 
 of them.

 William Savery in 1793, was in conjunction with John Heckwelder and the 
 agents of the government, and by the desire of General Washington, sent 
 on a mission to the Indians of Ohio, on the occasion of the meeting of a 
 grand council at Sandusky. He kept a daily journal of his tour and of the 
 incidents of his intercourse with the Indians, which occupies pp. 13 to 103 
 of this volume. It is a narrative of more than ordinary intcret-t and value, 
 as it adds the observations of an intelligent and scrupulous journalist, to our

 history over which the works of Sagard, du Creux, and Charlevoix have 
 only thrown a narrow causeway. A continuous narrative of the motive for 
 the establishment of the French Colony in Canada, its progress and the 
 numerous obstacles it overcame, has never before been written with such 
 attention at once to detail and completeness. 
 The romantic story of French domination over some of the Indian tribes, the 
 fierce wars with the Iroquois, which more than once nearly exterminated 
 their civilized foes, and the establishment of the Catholic faith among the 
 savages of the Algonquin race, is here told with spirit and elegance.

 The subject of the North American Indians must have early been one of great 
 interest to the English mind, for a large number of the works of fiction, of 
 which copies cannot be readily obtained, have the locality in America and 
 involve a captivity among the savages. They are generally written, like the 
 adventures of Falconer, with such a profound gravity, and freedom from 
 dramatic colloquialisms, that they leave the reader vexed with a doubt if 
 they are wholly fictitious, or not as generally truthful as the boasted verit- 
 able narratives.

 The first subject announced as the purpose of these volumes in the Preface, 
 is certainly well sustained by their contents, " Historical Sketches of Indian 
 Wars, battles, and Exploits ; of the adventures and suffeiings of the. Cap- 
 tives." The work is in fact a copious cyclopajdia of Indian history ; nar- 
 ratives of captivities in their original style without abridgment; descriptions 
 of Indian antiquities, with memoirs and anecdotes of Indian chiefs and 
 border fighters of the whites. 
 It may be considered the model of a historical magazine, or of a collection of 
 material relating to the early history of any locality.

 The author of this work was a German adventurer who accompanied the ex- 
 pedition of his countrymen to Venezuela in 1529. The short-lived German 
 government of this country is little known except through his narration, and 
 that is so rare, as to be almost as unknown to bibliographers, as the domina- 
 tion of the Germans in that country is to historians. Federman's narrative 
 is almost wholly devoted to the descriptions of the Indian nations of the 
 country, and of his adventures among them. Chapters iv. to xiii. are each 
 entirely occupied with the relations of one of these tribes, whose name forms 
 the heading. It has the combined qualities of priority, and fidelity of de- 
 scription, of the characteristics of these tribes, to entitle it to our considera- 
 tion. The work has never been reprinted or translated except in this pres- 
 ent form.

 History of the Wyandotte Mission at Upper Sanduskey, Ohio, 
 under the direction of the Methodist Episcopal Church. By Rev. 
 James B. Finley. 12° pp. 432. Cincinnati, published by J. F. 
 Wright, 1840. 538 
 
 The author commenced his acquaintance with the Wyandots as a missionary 
 in 1819, and remained among them eight years. Five years before, an uned- 
 ucated mulatto who, inspired by a sense of religions duty, had wandered from 
 place to place in search of some people who were without religious instruction, 
 arrived at .one of the Wyandot villages during the celebration of some of 
 their pagan rites. After the subsidence of the hideous clamor, he struck up 
 one of the simple and touching melodies of the Methodist Church, in his 
 powerful and rich tones. It struck the savage ears of his Indian audience, 
 and gave him such an influence that in a year or two he had changed the 
 whole aboriginal structure of their social and religious lite. From that most 
 abandoned and debauched medley of white and Indian vices, which a frontier 
 tribe adopts, the community became an almost civilized and Christian one. 
 For five years this African apostle struggled and wrought alone, until the 
 Methodist authorities recognized his labors, and assumed their jurisdiction- 
 To their supervision the .author was appointed. Mr. Finley inclines to the 
 notion of the Ten Israelitish tribes being the ancestors of the thousand Indian 
 tribes of America. His first chapter is therefore devoted to its argumenta- 
 tion. The peculiar habits, customs, and traditions of the Wyandots form 
 the subject of the second chapter, while chapter third gives an account of the 
 introduction of the Gospel among them by the African missionary Stewart,

 and the assumption of the mission by the Methodist Chnrch. The rest of 
 the volume is occupied by the personal experiences of the author while 
 resident with the tribe, among which are very many striking and interesting 
 peculiarities of the Indian character. Mr. Finley wrote with evident scru- 
 pulosity, as his narrative bears strong internal evidence of its being a faith- 
 iiil record of the incidents which transpired within his own knowledge.

 plates. Printed at the Methodist Book Concern, Cincinnati, 1856 
 and 1867. 539 
 
 In this volume the author of the History of the Wyandot Mission takes a 
 much wider scope, and gives his reminiscences of border life at the period 
 of the Eevolution, and in succeeding years. In addition to the already avail- 
 able sources of information on the subject of Indian skirmishes, maiit.'icres, 
 and captivities, he adds many particulars not before printed, derived from 
 family traditions and experiences. He narrates some horrid atrocities of the 
 whites, which the fertile inventions of the savages for murderous novelties, 
 have never quite equaled. 
 
 In Chapter vi. he commences the narrative of hia Life in the Woods, and of his 
 first itineracy, during the course of which, many of the tragical events of 
 border warfare, are narrated to him by the survivors. Many of these the 
 author reproduces in his volume. Chapter xxviii. is entitled " Indian Biog- 
 raphy," in which he gives the principal incidents in tlie lives of the Wyan- 
 dot Chiefs, Ma-nuncue and Between-the-LogS, with their portraits.

 The first half of his work, is an enlarged reprint of the two works by the 
 same author, entitled. History of the Wyandots, and Autobiography. Many 
 additional particulars however are given in this portion of his narrative, and 
 the remainder is almost wholly new matter. The chapters commencing 
 with the twelfth are entitled, "Visit to Neighboring Tribes" — "Bishop 
 McKendree in the Mission " — " Excursion to the Northern Tribes " — " Con- 
 verted Indians on a Winter hunt" — "Bishops McKendree and Soule in 
 council with Indian Chiefs" — "Removal of the Wyandots proposed" — 
 " Visit to the East witi Indian Clilcfs " — " Division of the Wyandot Lands " 
 — and ending with Chapter xx., " Biographical Sketches and Anecdotes 
 (of eleven Indian Chiefs, and other Wyandots." All of the woi;k indicated 
 by these subject titles, and covering pp. 324 to 528, is new material and adds 
 very greatly to the value of the series of works by Mr. Finley.

 with rich gifts. Their portraits were painted and engraved in folio size, and

 These portraits in folio, were engraved at the period of the visit of the chiefs 
 of the tribes on the northern shores of Lakes Ontario and Erie, to England. 
 They are very rarely found together, and form when complete an interesting 
 memorial of the tiibes w hicli have long since disappeared. That the chiefs 
 were real personages, is abundantly proved by contemporary writers. The 
 Spectator, Xo. 50, is founded upon their visit to England. Sir Kichard Steele 
 commences his essay with this paragraph, " When the four Indian ki'ijrs were 
 in this country about a twelvemonth ai;o. I often mixed with the rabble and 
 followed them a whole day together. I employed a friend to make incpiiries 
 of their landlord, the upholsterer, etc., etc." This upholsterer was the father 
 of Dr. Arne, the celebrated musical composer, in whose biograpbv the inci- 
 dent of their residence is mentioned. The house was situated in Kinir Street, 
 Covent Garden. A curious piece of spite appears in Dean Switt's Journal 
 associated with these Indian chiefs. The frajrment is of course addressed to 
 Stella : " The Srvctator is written hy Steele with Addison's help, 'tis often 
 very pretty. Yesterday it was made of a noble hint I gave him long a^o for 
 his Tattlers, about an Indian, supposed to write his journey into England. 
 I repent he ever had it I intended to write a hook on that subject. I be- 
 lieve he has spent it all in one paper, and all the under liints are mine too."

 The collation of this work is much involved, in consequence of the numerous 
 errors in pagination, and the cancellation of four pages in some copies. 
 
 A perfect copy consists of 134 leaves and map, namely, 12 prel. pp., text num- 
 bered 1 to 269 and 3 unnumbered pages. Between pp. 168 and 169 are two 
 leaves numbered 170, 172, 170, and one blank page, which ai'C stated in some 
 catalognes to have been cancelled in most copies. Besides this, there are 
 more than twenty errors in the pagination. The reverse of p. 79 is num- 
 bered 100, and this hiatus of twenty pages in the numeration is not filled by 
 correction in any subsequent part of the book. Most of the other errors are 
 mere substitutions of one number for another, corrected on the next page 
 generally by duplicating the substituted number. 
 
 Signature Bb which should be 205 to 212, is numbered 225 to 232, and Sig. 
 Cc. begins with 213, repeating the last numbers. 
 
 The Narratives and Journals of early voyagers to the Arctic territories, of 
 which this work consists, arc filled with accounts of the ferocity and vindic- 
 tivencss of the natives, traits of character for which the present Esquimaux 
 inhahitants have never been remarkable. It is evident that the race of abo- 
 rigines which alarmed the early navigators by their fierce warfare, has long 
 passed away, and the place of the implacable red Indian been occupied by 
 the mild fair-skinnod Esquimaux.

 the Indian tribes of the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Coast, was the 
 basis of Washington Irving's much more celebrated' Astoria, to which it is 
 little if at all inferior. It is easy to see from whence the inspiration of 
 Irving's relation of Indian life was derived after reading the unpretending, 
 yet most effectively picturesque and natural story of Franchere's life of a 
 fur-trader. It is the earliest narrative of adventure among the Indians of 
 the Pacific Coast, descriptive of their manners and peculiarities, having been 
 originally published in French in 1815.

 Of the beautiful engravings which accompany this volume, six arc illustrative 
 of the features or habits of life of the Aborigines of the arctic regions. 
 
 The expeclition left York Factory on Hudson's Bayin September, 1819, passed 
 across the territory to Great Slave Lake and thence to the Arctic Ocean, by 
 the Coppermine River. Three winters were passed, in the awful rigors of a 
 climate wliich seems to have been ordained to test the limit of the endurance 
 of human organism. The expedition effected one undesigned good, — in 
 proving that even in that dreadful zone, where every hour renews the strug- 
 gle of every living thing for existence, the nobler attributes of man, human- 
 ity and disinterestedness, have not been crushed out even in savage hearts. 
 
 While almost every page of the narrative contains an incident of Indian life, 
 and a large part of both volumes is occupied with some reference to, or 
 lengthy account of, the aborigines resident in the regions traversed, yet 
 there are portions of the work entirely devoted to the same subject. Chap- 
 ter iii. of Vol. II., pp. 91 to 145, is entitled " Dr. Eichardson's Account of the 
 Cree Indians," and is one of the best, as it is certainly the most authentic 
 statement of their peculiar customs and modes of life. Many details are 
 given in the progress of the work of the Copper, Dog-Rib, Esquimaux, and 
 Chippewyan Indians; but it is in the last chapter, where the author nar- 
 rates the story of that appalling march on the return journey, that our inter- 
 est is most deeply excited. When tlie climax of human suffering has been 
 reached, and the last hair's-breadth of its endurance tested, and all the hor- 
 rors of starvation, frozen limbs, and every im,aginable torture comlniied have 
 been sustained, it is gratifying to find that even in the most degraded tribes 
 of Indians the explorers found relief from their humanity. The Chippewyan 
 Chief Akaitcho, while his own tribe was starving, exerted himself to the ut- 
 most to procure them supplies, and it was owing to the kindness and sympa' 
 thy of the savages that Franklin and his party survived this dreadful expe- 
 dition. A portrait of this humane chief is given in one of the plates.

 This splendid edition of Franklin's Narrative of his Second Arctic Journey, it 
 is sufficiently high praise to say is worthy of its subject. The beauty of the 
 typography is rivaled by that of the engravings, each of which is a splendid 
 specimen of art. Nine of these illustrations represent some incident in the 
 intercourse of the explorers with the Esquimaux.

 This edition contains tlie " Memoir of the Establishment of the .Tesuits in 
 Paraguaj'," not published in the editions printed in Paris. This curious 
 relation affords us some important particulars of the oligarchy by which the 
 priests governed nearly a million of Indians for two centuries, with a des- 
 potic authority almost unparalleled. As a note on page 577 of the Amster- 
 dam edition of 1717 informs us that Frezier is not the author of this Rela- 
 tion, we are left in ignorance of the person to whom it is to be attributed. 
 Pi'ezier's work, is entitled to the credit of great yeracity and labor to secure 
 exactness. 
 
 The relation of M. Frezier has always been highly esteemed from his char- 
 acter as an author of great truthfulness, as well as for the numerous exact 
 maps with which it is illustrated. Many curious particulars which he ob- 
 served of the aborigines of the countries in South America that he visited 
 are given. M. Frezier was among the earliest to describe the use of the 
 quipu, or knotted cord diary of the Peruvian Indians. 
 
 Plates nine and ten are representative of some of the customs of the Indians 
 of Chili, and plate 31 exhibits iigures of the Incas, and other Peruvians 
 drawn by the Indians of Cuzco, with views of their houses, and of utensils 
 found in their tombs.

 [Origin of the Indians of tlie New World, and West Indies, supported by a 
 discourse and opinions by the serving Father Fray Gregorio Garcia of the

 and curious men. Second edition. Amended and increased with some

 The author spent twenty years as a missionary among the Indians of South 
 America, and applied himself with the greatest zeal to the study of the an- 
 tiquities of the country. This work was the result of his researches, pre- 
 pared for publication after his return to Spain. Father Gregorio Garcia, of 
 the Dominican order, first printed this highly esteemed work at Valencia in 
 1607. It was augmented by the addition of some very learned notes, written 
 by the equally celebrated Barcia, and reprinted at Madrid in 1729. Clavi- 
 gero pronounces it a work of vast erudition, but almost totally useless, as it 
 gives little or no assistance in discovering truth, the foundation for the 
 opinions which he maintains concerning the origin of the American Indians 
 being for the most part weak conjectures, based upon the resemblance be- 
 tween some of their words and customs, compared with other nations. Dr. 
 Cabrera, on the other hand, thought highly of it, and the critical Barcia 
 would hardly have expended his time in annotating and reproducing a work 
 of slight value. Father Garcia examines in detail all the opinions regarding 
 the origin of the aborigines, — their derivation from the freebooting Cartha- 
 ginians ; the traverse of the lost Jewish tribes across the frozen deserts to 
 America ; that Peru was the Ophir of Solomon ; that the ancestors of the 
 Indians crossed from Europe to Africa, and from thence to the New World, 
 and that they were the descendants of the Romans. All these are set forth 
 with all the arguments adduced in their favor, and the objections urged 
 against them, with great fairness and immense learning.

 The first edition of this, the second part of the Commentaries, was printed in 
 Cordova, 1617, in folio, eight years after the appearance of the " Primera 
 Parte,' ' which was of much smaller size than the second part. They are difficult 
 to be obtained together. Besides this edition edited by Barcia, a third was 
 printed in Madrid in 1801, comprising all of Garcilaso de la Vega's works 
 m seventeen small 12° volumes. 
 
 These two works, or rather two volumes of the same history, were translated 
 into English under the title of Royal Commentaries.

 The author of the three works on the Conquest of the Aboriginal Nations in 
 Peru and Florida, was the son of one of the conquerors of Peru, Garcilaso de 
 la Vega, by the daughter of the Inca Huallpa Tupac, and sister of Huayna 
 Capac Inca, the last native monarch of Peru. He was so proud of both pa- 
 ternal and maternal origin, that while he assumed the Spanish name of the 
 first, he was careful to assert his Incarial descent. He was evidently a gen- 
 tleman of refinement, and possessed of much more learning than was usually 
 acquired by the conquistadors themselves. That one of Indian blood, and a 
 descendant of the proud race of the Incas, should have been the most indus- 
 trious and careful historian of the evil fortunes of his race> and the chroni- 
 cler of the victories of their conquerors, may well excite our surprise. He 
 was not, however, alone in this scholarly and mournful labor, for Clavigero 
 cites the names of fifteen other noble and royal Indians who wrote histories 
 of the events which either preceded or followed the conquest of their heroic 
 race. The high state of civilization, reached by the Incas of Peru, can be no 
 better evidenced, than by the fact that sixteen of that ill-fated nation, were 
 so imbued with literary fervor as to chronicle the fortunes of their race. 
 
 Ferdinand Ixtlilxochitl, son of the last king of Acolhuacan, and Antonio Mon- 
 tezuma Ixtlilxochitl, a descendant of the royal house of Montezuma, wrote a 
 genealogy of their houses, and some historical memoirs which were preserved 
 in the Jesuits' College in Mexico. 
 
 The son of the first named Indian noble wrote Historical Memoirs of his an- 
 cestors' kingdom which greatly aided Torquemada in writing his Monarchia 
 Indiana. 
 
 Niza, a noble Indian of TIascala, wrote a History of the Conquest by Cortez, 
 which was authenticated by the signatures of thirty Indian nobles of TIas- 
 cala. 
 
 Ayala, a noble of Tescuco, wrote Historical Commentaries in the Mexican lan- 
 guage of that kingdom, from the year 1243 to 1562, 
 
 Mendoza, a Tlascalan Indian noble, wrote in his native tongue, the chronicles 
 of his country. Pedro Ponce, another Indian, wrote in the Spanish, An Ac- 
 count of the Gods and the Rites of Mexican Paganism. 
 
 The native chiefs of Colhuacan wrote the annals of that kingdom, or province 
 of Mexico. 
 
 Camargo, a native noble of TIascala, wrote a Histcyry of the City and Republic of 
 TIascala, of such merit that Torquemada made large use of his work in com- 
 piling his Monarchia Indiana, as he did of the Historical Memoirs of Cho- 
 lula, written by the Indian Juan Poman. 
 
 Fernando Alba Ixtlilxochitl wrote four works of great erudition, which will 
 be found noted under his name. 
 
 Domingo Chimalpain, a noble Indian of Mexico, wrote four works in the Mex- 
 ican language, which were much esteemed by the learned. These were pre- 
 served in the library of the College of St. Peter and St. Paul in Mexico, and 
 were copied by Botturini, who also procured copies of most of the other In- 
 dian works mentioned. 
 
 Fernando Tezozomoc, a Mexican Indian, wrote in Spanish, a Mexican Chron- 
 icle, which was also preserved in the same library. 
 
 Garcilaso de la Vega, the author of the works under consideration, is said by 
 Irving to have conceived such an ardent desire to view the land of his father's 
 nativity, that he abandoned the country of the Incas, and took up his resi- 
 dence at Cordova. His Royal Commentaries of Peru obtained for him the 
 favor of the sovereigns of Leon and Castile, and the esteem of the learned 
 throughout Spain. Barcia says, in his Preface to his edition of La Florida 
 del Inca, that Garcilaso was during his lifetime eminent for his religion, no- 
 bility, virtue, modesty, and devotion to literature, and was always held in the 
 highest estimation as a historian. The Friar Buenventura de Salinas, in his 
 Memorial de la Historia del Nuevo Mundo, says " the Inca Garcilaso, a Cap- 
 
Indian BilKography. 145 
 
 tain, native of the city of Cuzco, was liigUly esteemed for his great talents 
 and capacity." " His fame extended over all the world." 
 
 So great was the venei-ation in which his character was held, that he was 
 buried in the great cathedral of Cordova, and the portion of the sacred edi- 
 fice where his remains were deposited was denominated thereafter the Chapel 
 of Garcilaso. 
 
 On each side of the chapel is a monument of black marble, on which is chiseled 
 this inscription, " To the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega — a noble man, whose 
 memory is worthy of preservation. Illustrious by birth ; an accomplished 
 writer, and valiant in arms. He was the Son of Garcilaso de la Vega, and 
 of Elisabeth Palla, Sister of Huayna Capae, last Emperor of the Indias. 
 Author of Commentaries of Florida, Translator of Leon JSebrero, and author 
 of the Roi/al Commentaries. He lived at Cordova with great piety, and there 
 died with exemplary resignation, 22d of April, 1616. Pray to God for his 
 Soul." 
 
 It has been so much the fashion, during the last century, for writers to treat 
 lightly the merit and historical value of Garcilaso's works, that I have_ in- 
 troduced these testimonies of his contemporaries and of later historians tohia 
 character. He had access to sources of information that no longer exist, 
 such as the MS. documents and relations of the conquerors, and the quipu 
 records of the Incas. His friends and relatives of his native race were at 
 that period still learned in the Incarial history. This gave him access to, 
 and enabled him to decipher them. He had, beside, the most intimate per- 
 sonal relations with some of the great conquerors and commanders, and 
 probably drew confirmation of his researches from their own lips. He ob- 
 tained a great portion of the material for his history of De Soto's expedition 
 from an old friend who accompanied him on that fatal invasion. Garcilaso 
 had determined to preserve the details, thus narrated to him, from oblivion, 
 but his service to the king separated him from his friend for more than 
 twenty years. At last fireed from his duty in the field, he established him- 
 self in the village where his fi-iend resided, and with the zeal of a missionary, 
 recorded the nai'ratious of his brother soldier. For the character of this 
 hidalgo, he vouches in the most solemn manner, avowing that he was in- 
 capable of uttering an untrutli. While engaged in thus perpetuating the 
 facts, which he had long grieved to think must die with his friend, he re- 
 ceived most fortuitously two manuscripts of soldiers engaged in that famous 
 expedition. One was written by Alonso de Carmona, and was entitled Wan- 
 derings in Peru and Florida. The other, a somewhat meagre diary of the 
 events of the invasion, was the work of a soldier named Juan Coles. For- 
 tified by these documents, Garcilaso incorporated their principal details, or 
 used them to corroborate those obtained from his noble friend. Not the 
 least valuable testimony to the veracity and worth of his histories, is the 
 fact that the celebrated Herrera, who is regarded as " The Prince of Spanish 
 Historians," incorporated the whole of ia Florida del Inca into his Decades 
 de las Indias. This acute and learned writer, living so near the period in 
 which Garcilaso wrote, could not have been deceived regarding the value of 
 Garcilaso's works, and by adopting, certified their truthfulness to us. 
 
 The opinions of the learned have differed much regarding the historical value 
 of his works. Charlevoix, who has not a ready stock of praise for his brother 
 liistorians, says that " this work is well written, but the author has evidently 
 exaggerated the riches and power of the Floridians." 
 
 Charlevoix declares, however, that it is to be received as authentic regarding 
 the expeditions of De Soto and Louis de Morosco. For many years the dicta 
 of Mr. Robertson, denying the authenticity of Garcilaso's writings, was re- 
 ceived without question, but that historian s own credit has BO waned, as to 
 affect but few opinions at this day.

 The tribe of Clallams, so called by the inhabitants of Washington Territory 
 where these Indians reside, on the southern shore of the Straits of Fuca, 
 are a branch of the Nootka family ; their language is similar to tliat of the 
 Songies and Sokes of Vancouver's Island. 'The Lummi tribe live on a river 
 emptying into the Gulf of Georgia, to which they are emigrants from a 
 group of islands in the Strait, separating Vancouver's Island from the Con- 
 tinent. Both vocabularies were collected by Mr. Gibbs, during a residence 
 of a few months at Port Townshend and its adjacent tei-ritory. A historical 
 preface occupies pp. v. to viii. Vocabulary of the Clallams, pp. 9 to 20.

 The fur-traders of the eighteenth century, and the early part of the present, 
 in coasting along the shores of Vancouver's and Nootka Sounds, carried with 
 them some of the words of ekch of the tribes whom they visited ; until at 
 the mouth of the Columbia they found a quick-witted people who adopted 
 the mongrel jargon they heard from the lips of the strangers, and blended 
 the fragments of twelve native tongues, with some English and French 
 terms, into a sort of language possessing nearly five hundred words. Mr. 
 Gibbs, with the zeal of a philological apostle, undertook to resolve this wretch- 
 ed jargon into its original elements, and this is the result of his labors. 
 This curious history of the degradation of a language is doubly interesting, 
 as the declension has taken place in our own day. It affords a valuable 
 Icev to the methods by which languages have been revolutionized and cor- 
 rupted. On pp. 13 and 14 is a bibliography of the Chinook jargon, con- 
 taining the titles of fifteen works which contain vocabularies of that 
 mongrel dialect. The Chinook-English Dictionary occupies pp. 15 to 29, 
 and the English-Chinook embraces the remainder of the work.

 This treatise, written by the celebrated advocate of the abolition of slavery, is 
 a, glowing arraignment of the government of the United States for its com- 
 plicity in the outrages perpetrated upon the Seminoles, in the interests of the 
 slaveholders of Florida. The heroic Indians of the hummocks defied for 
 a quarter of a century the armies of the United States, and to the shame of 
 that government, it only succeeded in conquering them by the foulest treach- 
 ery, and the most shameless violation of their plighted word by generals 
 of the United States army. The long and bloody war, in which every 
 captured and slain Indian cost the lives of more than fifty white soldiers, 
 and an expenditure of one hundred and forty thousand dollars, originated 
 in the seizure of the handsome wife of the Chief Osceola, and her sale into 
 slavery. The war thus begun in treachery was only ended by it. General 
 Jessup having pledged his word of honor to Osceola, foully violated it, and 
 threw him into prison where he died.

 The author has gathered in the first six chapters of his book, the well-known 
 incidents of the border wars of New York, which had been many times 
 printed before. 
 
 They are entitled " Aboriginal French and English History," " Cherry Val- 
 ley," " Border Wars. Battle of Oriskany and Siege of Fort Schuyler," 
 " Flight of St. Leger, Brant gathering his Forces, and the Massacre," " Sulli- 
 van's Campaign, Pioneer movements, Indian reflections. Revenge and De- 
 struction of Mohawk Valley." In chapter xi., entitled " Legend of Tiough- 
 nioga Valley," he adds something more or less authentic to our aborigiaal 
 literature.

 Orinoco, Meta, and Casanare. New Edition, with many corrections of the 
 first, adorned with eight copperplate engravings illustrative of the customs

 This is the third Spanish edition of this work first printed in 1741, and re- 
 printed in 1745. Subjected to sharp criticisms for a long time, for its sup- 
 posed want of veracity, further explorations only confirmed the author's 
 statements. The French edition published in 1758, in three volumes, was 
 much abridged, and with a title invented by the unscrupulous translator. 
 The object of the work is indeed but poorly expressed in the author's own 
 title, as more than three fourths of it is devoted to a minute description ot 
 the government, peculiar customs, religious rites, domestic habits, and cere- 
 monies of the Indians inhabiting the shores of the Orinoco and its tribu- 
 taries. The plates are copied from drawings intended to illustrate some of 
 the peculiarities of their life and habits.

 Fathers Mercado and Ribera." Father Gumilla was born in 1690, and ap- 
 pointed Superior of the Missions of Orinoco, and more than once travelled 
 along the shores of almost the entire course of this great river. As late as 
 1745 he returned from Spain to America, but the period and place of his 
 death is unknown.

 Three years' Slavery among the Patagonians : an Account of his 
 Captivity, By A. Guinnard, member of the Geographical Society 
 of France. From the third French edition. By Charles S. 
 Cheltnam. Post 8° Map. pp. x. -)-375. London, Richard 
 Bentley and Son, 1871. 618 
 
 The English translator speaks with some confidence of the authenticity and 
 truthfulness of M. Guinnard's narration of the incidents of his captivity, 
 and I am inclined to believe them veritable, but it lacks so notably that 
 Anglo-Saxon simplicity, which marks and distinguishes unalloyed historical 
 relations, that we may subject it to an unjust suspicion. With true I'rench 
 exaltation of style, he so begilds his narrative, as to give his true story the 
 color of fiction. It is, however, a very valuable collection of material rela- 
 tive to the habits, religion, and mode of life of the but little known race of 
 savages inhabiting the vast Pampas between Buenos Ayres, Chili, and 
 Northern Patagonia. 
 
 Graah (Capt. W. A.). 
 Narrative of an Expedition to the East Coast of Greenland, 
 sent by order of tlie King of Denmark, in search of The Lost 
 Colonies, under the Command of Capt. W. A. Graah of the 
 Danish Royal Navy, Knight of Dannebrog, &c. Translated 
 from the Danish by the late G. Gordon Macdougall for the 
 Eoyal Geographical Society of London, vs-ith the original Dan- 
 ish Chart completed by the Expedition. 8° pp. xxi. -|- 199 -|- 
 map. London, John W. Parker, West Strand, 1837. 619 
 
 This expedition traversed the inhospitable regions of Greenland for nearly 
 three years, and during that time found ample opportunity of becoming ac- 
 quainted with those traits of character, which mark its aboriginal inhabit- 
 ants. The narrative will not disappoint the reader greatly, in its details of 
 the dreary life of these residents of a land of perpetual winter, if he but 
 considers that it is the product of an antiquarian, as well as a scientific ex- 
 pedition.

 This interesting history of ancient Mexico, written in the form of a dialogue 
 between an Indian and a Spaniard, and divided into seventeen " Nights," 
 is very little known in Europe, and is very rare in Mexico. The author 
 held several important offices in the latter country, among which was the 
 superintendence of the Missions among the Mexican Indians, which even a 
 century before his time had become very important civil as well as religious 
 institutions. On pp. 90 to 94, will be found a fragment of Aztec poetry, 
 written by a poet of the euphonious name of Notzahualcoyotl, and trans- 
 lated into Spanish by the author. One of the most curious subjects treated 
 in this work, is that of the Mexican Calendar with the names of the days in 
 Mexican and in Spanish. On PP- 141 to 150 are given the Mexican names 
 of the kings of the empire of Tescuco.

 killed in the Braddock campaign against Fort DuQuesne. He wrote the

 subject. The tragedy of the Bed TSivor SettleraeTit, the wnrs of the Fur- 
 traders and Indians, having thns attracted liis attention and aroused his in- 
 terest in the Aborigines, he visited Canada in 1822, and traveled so far as 
 the scene of the murder of Governor Semple, He must tlicrefore liave writ-

 of the attempts to civilize and convert the Indians made by both Catholic 
 and Protestant.

 With the intcnsest Scotch prejudice an:ainst everything French, he speaks in 
 severe terms of the French policy towards the Indians. Something of his 
 animus may be gleaned from the subject-title of Chapter iv. : " Treacherous 
 conduct of the French government with regard to the Indian Nations," — 
 " Absurd accounts of tlie Jesuit Missionaries relative to tlieir Success in 
 Converting the Indians." At the same time he calls the murderous forays 
 of the New Englanders upon unoffending, and even friendly Indians, in re 
 taliation for outrages perpetrated by others, " imprudent conduct of the 
 Puiitans."

 Mr. Rich must have taken this title orally from some cockney, as he speaks of

 probably first printed." The third edition was printed at Danvers in 1780,

 Part IT. of this work, entitled " The Wigwam, the Camp, and the Church ; " 
 commences with a narrative of the capture of the reputed ancestress of Elear 
 zer Williams by the Indians at DeerKeld, her marriage to an Indian, and the 
 fortunes of her descendants, until the subject of tliis memoir appears in the 
 family. 
 
 The circumstances attending his first appearance and the incidents of his 
 youth, were related to the author by Skenondoah, an Oneida chief, who was 
 himself a lialf-breed, his father being an Irishman named O'Jieal. The life 
 of the missionary among his reputed aboriginal kindred is minutely related, 
 taken in great part from his own diary. A great mass of evidence, more 
 traditional than circumstantial, and more circumstantial thiin positive, is 
 educed to prove Eleazer Williams to be the son of Louis XVI. Mr. Han- 
 son's theory of the causes which prevented his recognition are summed up in 
 the statement that Williams was a Protestant; and the Catholics who only 
 were in the secret, caused his rejection.

 This Journal purports to have been only revised and published by Mr. Daniel 
 Haskell, but he is said to have introduced religious reflections not made by 
 the author. Harmon's narration of events among and peculiarities of the 
 Indian tiibcs is believed by those familiar with him, and the regions he vis- 
 ited, to be correct ; but the life of a fur-trader, dispensing fire-water to the 
 Indians, while daily witnessing the murders it produced, was not favorable to 
 religious emotions. Mr. Haskell makes the writer reject the proffer of an 
 Indian concubine by her father, with very proper pious emotions ; but Mr. 
 Schoolcraft intimates that the latter were not more consonant with his char- 
 acter than the story of his continence. A copious vocabulary of the Crce or 
 Knistenaw language is given on pp. 385 to 413. The journal of events in 
 his life as an Indian trader, terminates at page 273, and two subdivisions 
 entitled " Account of the Indians living East of the Rocky Mountains," and 
 " Account of the Indians living West of the Rocky Mountains," are evidently 
 wi'itten by another hand, perhaps from Hai-mon's dictation.

 The author says of himself, " Having for a number of years been engaged in 
 endeavors to ameliorate the condition of the Shawnee Tribe of Indians, I 
 have become very much attached to them, on account of a near intimacy 
 with them, which enabled me to become acquainted with the character of 
 this noted and very interesting people. I was connected with them, too, at a 
 time when one of those severe trials overtook them, of which the Indians 
 so much complain, more bitterly by far than they do of the most desolating 
 wars, by which they have ever been visited, — which was the procuring (the 
 teresting from them) their reservations of land at Wa-paugh-kon-netta, in the 
 State of Ohio, containing near one hundred thousand acres. I have been an 
 eye-witness to most I have related in regard to this people, and in all my in- 
 tercourse have ever fonnd them a noble, generous hearted, honest and ever 
 confiding people, of strong minds, powerful intellect, warmly attached to 
 their friends, ever true to their word in matters of self interest, when treated 
 fairly, and patient under suffering." If the story of the wrongs of the 
 Shawnees, whose high character is attested in such eloquent language, does 
 not stir the indignation of the reader, it can only be because his heart is 
 dead, or his brain torpid. It tempts one to doubt the justice of God. The 
 work is one of the most simple and veritable narrations of facts relating to 
 the Indians ever printed. The author gives us in the first 138 pages, a history 
 of the tribe to the year 1812, at which period the Society of Friends under- 
 took their amelioration. From this period the narrative is almost entirely 
 from the personal observation of the ^vriter, and is the most sadly interesting 
 that can be conceived.

 In this book, now exceeclingly rare and highly prized, the author has brought 
 together a very Uirge number of curious facts, relating to the origin and 
 character of the natives ot his State, prior to the settlement by the whites. 
 He docs not favor the hyjiothesis of great antiquity in the Indian nations of 
 America, and believes in their common origin with the Caucasian race. He 
 describes with great minuteness and care the relics of the race which once 
 inliabited the territory, its utensils, skeletons, crania, and fortifications, most 
 of which he appears to have personally inspected.

 This work, only less rare than the Aboriginal History of Tennessee by the 
 same author, contains a large portion of the material relating to the border 
 warfare with the Indians, narrated in the last mentioned work. The specu- 
 lative and antiquarian portions and descriptions of mounds are omitted in 
 this vohinie, but the story of Indian conflicts and massacres is narrated with 
 " greater detail and minuteness, filling much the larger portion of the work. 
 The story of the formation of the State of Franklin, and the civil war 
 which ensued, is a chapter of American history but little known, and 
 scarcely exceeded iu interest by any other.

 This is the title of the fourth volume of Hazart's Church History in Dutch, 
 published in four volumes, folio, of which only this contains anything relat- 
 ing to America. Pages 311 to 457 are occupied with the history of the 
 Jesuit Missions among the Indians of Pern, Brazil, Mexico, Florida, Canada, 
 Paraguay, and Maragnan. This portion of the work is illustrated with 
 eighteen full-page copper-plate engravings, of which seven are portraits of 
 
164) Indian BiUiography. 
 
 Indians of each of the countries named, and eleven represent the martyrdom 
 of the missionaries by the natives. Most of these plates are beautifully 
 drawn and engraved, and exhibit the various forms of torture and -massacre 
 by which the missionaries and their converts were put to death, with the 
 most vivid and painful fidelity. The account of missions in Florida and 
 Canada, fills thirty-four pages. One of the plates in this part of the work 
 represents the martyrdom of Father Jogues and two French associates by 
 the Mohawks ; another exhibits the tortures by which Fathers Brebceuf and 
 Lallemant were killed in Canada ; and a third the murder of Fathers Daniel 
 and Gamier by the Indians of the same country.

 The gloomy details of this dreadful massacre, lead us to inquire the cause 
 of such an apparently unexplainable frenzy for slaughter. Although the 
 author affords us little light upon this part of the sad history, yet from other 
 sources we discover that it was but a repetition of the old story, of the red 
 man made desperate by a sense of unbearable wrongs, avenging them upon 
 the innocent. Pushed back from their fertile and game-thronged hunting- 
 grounds, to sterile lands unfrequented by the animals upon which they sub- 
 sist, deluded by promises of annuities which fail to come, while their wives 
 and children perish by famine or cold, the unreasoning savages, made furi- 
 ous by their sufferings, overwhelmed the innocent German settlers, in their 
 undistinguishing thirst for blood.

 well as others' sufferings, and their horrible massacres of rival tribes. It is 
 to a most singular fortune of war, that we owe the publication of this inter- 
 esting journal. When the fort on Hudson's Bay was surrendered by the un- 
 fortunate and heroic La Perouse, he recommended that the British authorities 
 should cause Hcarne's MS. Journal which he found at the fort, to be printed. 
 He declared that it possessed so much interest that he had read it with the 
 greatest pleasure, and it is believed that a copy he had made accompanied 
 him in his last voyage. Narrated by Albert Gallatin, and confirmed, as Mr. 
 Stevens says, in the prologomena of the French edition of Hearne. Paris,

 Remarkable Incidents which took place at their Missionary 
 Stations during that Period. Interspersed with Anecdotes, 
 Historical Facts, Speeches of Indians, and other interesting 
 matter. By John Heckevvelder, who was many years in the 
 service of that Mission. 8° Portrait and pp. 429. Philadel- 
 phia, published by Mc Carty Sf Davis, 1820. 678 
 
 The narrative of this mission is a history of the noblest labors of the human 
 race, for the civilization of a savage people, and at the same time the record 
 of the most horrible crime perpetrated by a civilized people turned savages. 
 It is the account of a large number of the aborigines, collected into a com- 
 munity ; governed by all the refinements of a gentle and admirable humanity, 
 sacrificed to the brutal and cowardly vengeance of a murderous mob. Ninety 
 Christian men and women with their children were slaughtered and scalped 
 without attempting resistance, to revenge the outrages of Pagan Indians 
 whom the civilized wretches dared not attack. The massacre was terribly 
 avenged by their Pagan kindred. The frontier was desolated for ten years, 
 and the Colonel Crawford who was present, was afterwards burnt at the 
 stake in avowed retaliation for this very deed of blood. Heckewelder's nar- 
 rative is a full and undoubtedly faithful record of all the details of the Mis- 
 sion, its wonderful success and its appalling destmction. He was able to 
 give a thousand particulars from personal experience, and it is at once an 
 interesting story abounding in veritable incidents, and a valuable history, 
 fortified hy impregnable facts. 
 
 There could be no better guarantee of the value of a treatise on the American 
 Indians, than the names of Rev. John Heckewelder and Peter S. Duponceau. 
 Forty years of missionary life among the Delaware and Shawnese tribes, 
 had amply fitted the author of the history to record ihe facts which fell 
 under his own knowledge. Although his want of familiarity in ethnological 
 and philological science, have caused his deductions and hypotheses to be 
 somewhat derided, yet it must be conceded that his statements regarding the 
 history of the aboriginal tribes with which he was personally familiar, are 
 those of a conscientious and faithful, if not an accurate observer. 
 
 It is unfortunate, for us, as for the authoi-, that his history was written at a 
 late period of his life ; and that when it was suggested to him, he was not 
 prepared with notes and journals written during his long period of service as 
 a missionary. The first six chapters, pp. 29-83, are occupied with the 
 histoiy of the Indian Nations as derived from tradition, and an account of 
 the various tribes which inhabited Pennsylvania. Chapters vi. to vii., pp. 
 83 to 103, are devoted to " General Character, Government, and Education 
 of the Indians." Chapters ix. to xiii. treat of " Languages of the Tribes, 
 Signs, and Hieroglyphics, Oratory, Metaphorical Expressions, and Indian 
 Names." Chapters xiv. to xviii. are entitled " Intercourse with each other. 
 Political Manoeuvres, Maniage, Respect for the Aged, and Pride and Great-

 ness of Mind." Chapters xix. to xxii. are filled with a " Relation of their 
 manner of maldng War, Peace, and Treaties." The remainder of the work 
 is occupied with a relation of their domestic and public life.

 The execution of this work could hardly have fallen into more worthy or 
 competent hands. Prepared by his investigations for several years into the 
 documents that would illustrate his Spanish conquest of America, Mr. Helps' 
 work was half accomplished when designed. The apostle of the Indians 
 deserves the grandest monument which human genius has yet conceived for 
 the heroes of humanity. He was not satisfied, like many of his priestly 
 order, with the salvation of the souls of his savage flock ; he constituted him- 
 self by gigantic efforts the saviour of their bodies. In accomplishing this he 
 has been for three centuries subjected to the taunt of being the first sug- 
 gestor of African slavery. Mr. Helps most irresistibly refutes that slander ; 
 and adds a statement which ivill account for the malignity of the aspersion ; 
 " Las Casas had, it may be fearlessly asserted, a greater number of bitter 
 enemies than any man who ever lived."

 The whole of this noble work is devoted to a history of the relations of the 
 Indians of America to its Spanish invaders; and the effect of their occupa- 
 tion, and conquest upon the population, religion, and manners of the aborig- 
 ines. The various narratives and histories, which describe the awful destruc- 
 tion of many Indian nations by the Spaniards, are criticised with true 
 philosophical acumen, and the veracity and capability of their authors fairly 
 examined. It treats the whole story of the Indians and their conquerors, 
 during the sixty years which immediately succeeded the discovery, in that 
 continuous narrative style, by which our curiosity is ai-ouscd, and uur in- 
 terest perpetuated, without losing the dignity of veracious history. The 
 mind of the learned author was evidently inspired by that divine spirit that 
 is born only of the wedlock of humanity and scholarship. Every page 
 affords evidence of historical lore, and almost every sentence glows with the 
 warmth of his philanthropy.

 tions in his bibliography of Hennepin's works in the Historical Magazine, 
 Vol. II. p. 24. 
 
 It has been the fashion until late in this age, to deride the work of Father 
 Hennepin, as smacking of the marvelous. Indeed, some of our savants have 
 endeavored to prove that the very excellent Father Recollect never saw any 
 of the wonders he narrates. This severe criticism proceeds from sources 
 which entitle him to the benefit at least of a doubt of its impartiality. First. 
 Father Charlevoix, who cast the first cloud of suspicion, was a missionary 
 priest of the Jesuits, who were at one time under the ban in New France 
 through the influence of the Recollects, to which order Father Hennepin be- 
 longed. Second. The author lost the support of his own brethren of the 
 order of Recollects by neglecting or refusing to return to his duties in 
 America as a missionary. He accordingly retired to Utrecht in Holland, 
 where in 1697 he reprinted his book published at Paris in 1683 (some copies 
 have the date of 1684). In the course of the next year it was reissued as 
 printed at Amsterdam 1698. Mr. Rich places the date of 1698 also on an 
 edition printed at Utrecht. The first book of Father Hennepin is entitled, 
 Description de la Louisiane. 12° Paris, 1683. The same, 1688. Reprinted 
 with additional matter as Nouvelle Decouverte d'un tres Grand Pays situe dans 
 Am. Utrecht. 12° 1697. The same title, Amsterdam, 1698. Then in 
 the same year, in the form which flie reverend father calls his third volume,

 the same work as the two former. See Addenda.

 In Part I. the author relates the incidents of his life as a fur-trader among 
 the Indians on the shores of the upper great lakes ; of the surprise and mas- 
 sacre of the garrison of Fort Michilimackinac, of his own narrow escape 
 from the slaughter, and his capture. His narrative of the details of his long 
 captivity is very interesting, and has been deemed the most authentic we 
 have, relating to the domestic habits of the northern Indians. Part II. is a 
 narrative journal of travels through the Indian countries, and supplies much 
 additional information regarding the natives.

 No one has ever disputed the fidelity of old Herrera, styled the Prince of His- 
 torians, to the sources of information then accessible, and no one has ever 
 exceeded him in careful research, and interesting narration of aboriginal 
 history. He sought and obtained many of the original documents, which the 
 industry and spirit of the old missionaries and explorers made so numerous 
 and voluminous. He copied, almost bodily, the MS. History of the Indies 
 by Las Casas. Mr, Squire notices that he has transferred almost the entire 
 MS. Relacion of Palacio, to chapters 8, 9, and 10 of the Eighth Book of his 
 Fourth Decade. His work is a perfect treasure-house of the most valuable 
 details, regarding the original state of the religion and manners of the In- 
 dians. Of Herrera, Ternaux says, " Among the historians of America this 
 author holds the first rank." He was horn in 1650, and was for some time 
 secretary of the Viceroy of Naples, being afterwards appointed Historiog- 
 rapher of the Indies. His work is the most complete of all those which we 
 possess upon that subject of the epoch it embraces. Herrera incorporated 
 into his work, .almost the whole of Garcilaso de la Vega's work. La Florida 
 del Inca. It is unfortunate for the student of history, that the translation is 
 performed with the same unscrupulous license which most English editors 
 of works on American history assumed a century ago. Captain John 
 Stevens has left in his translation a monument of his own impertinent vanity, 
 in the liberties he has taken with this noble history. He has transposed, 
 abridged, and interpolated, and thus greatly impaired the value of his work, 
 and yet it is the best translation we have of the whole of Herrera. ' Mr. Henry 
 C. Alurphy considers the French translation, which extends only to the 
 first three decades, to be much the best, as it is so exact as to reproduce the 
 original, — book for book, chapter for chapter, and almost phrase for phrase."

 Each volume 'has a half title. The work contains twenty colored plates of 
 scenery and portraits of the aborigines, and seventy-six vifood-cuts of the 
 same in the text, and eleven colored maps and plans. During this explora^ 
 tion, Mr. Hind lived almost constantly among the Crees and Chippeways, 
 whose habits and peculiarities he was most eager to study, and prompt to 
 record. Everything in their life had not only the charm of novelty, to him, 
 but as a man of science, he was anxious to observe all the facts which may 
 prove stepping-stones in tracing their origin and their history. Besides the 
 incidents of Aboriginal life, which crowd almost every page, the author has 
 devoted Chapters xxviii. to xxxii., pp. 103 to 205, Vol. 11., to the subjects en- 
 titled, Indian Wealth, Indian Customs and Superstitions, Indian Population, 
 Indian Title, and Missionary Labors among Indians.

 All that Mr. Hind undertakes, is done so thoroughly that little more covild be 
 indicated, to complete the exhaustion of his subject. All the peculiarities 
 of the aboriginal races of Labrador, which a stranger would be permitted to 
 observe, he noted. We are enabled to see how the territory, swept of its 
 animal tenants to furnish the white man with skins and furs, has become no 
 longer capable of furnishing its savage inhabitants with food ; how the un- 
 happy Indian has been pushed towards the frigid zone until he has reached 
 a point beyond which human constitutions are unfitted for enduring its 
 rigors, and how thus, from want of the wild food his wild habits and tastes 
 demand, the aborigines have dwindled to a handful. 
 
 Mr. Hind's volumes are almost entirely occupied with incidents of Indian life 
 and character, particularly of the Montagnais, Abenakis, and Esquimaux 
 Indians. The engravings are illustrative of scenes in aboriginal life, or of 
 their customs, features, and other peculiarities. 
 
 Chapter xxvii., pp. 96 to 111, of Vol. II., is entitled, "The Nasquapees, or 
 the people standing upright." Chapter xxviii., pp. 112 to 124, has the 
 heading, " The present Condition of the Montagnais Indians." " The 
 Labradorians," is the subject of Chapter xxx., pp. l.'iO to 166, in which the 
 habits and character of the Esquimaux are illustrated. " The Roman 
 Catholic Missions of the Labrador Peninsula," is the title of Chapter xxxi., 
 pp. 167 to 180. In the Appendix No. I., the Indians of the Youcon are 
 the subject of a report by the Rev. W. VV. Kirby. " The Esquimaux of

 that the whole work is a great repository of facts relating to them.

 to 41 7. It is filled with relations of encounters with the Esquimaux, and par- 
 ticulars of their mode of life, personal appearance and character, more par- 
 ticularly valuable and interesting, as the observations of one, who had so 
 recently and intimately examined those of their congenors on the opposite 
 shore of Behring's Straits. His long journey up Mackenzie's River on his 
 return, furnishes us with many particulars of the Red Indians of the Copper- 
 mine and other tribes, their wars with the Esquimaux, and the, horrible 
 massacres of these unwarlike people.

 wood Zell, 1862. 718 
 
 Pages 1 to 120 are occupied with a Journal of a Mission, as it was termed, 
 among the Indians of Ohio. It is in fact a narrative of the incidents of a visit 
 of a committee of the Society of Friends, to the Miamis and Pottawatomies. 
 It is filled with interesting details of these tribes, with some historical partic- 
 ulars relating to the defeat of St. Clair, not elsewhere printed. The Appen- 
 dix, occupying the last seventy-eight pages, is a collection of additional 
 incidents of the same tour, from the manuscripts of George Ellicott, who 
 accompanied friend Hopkins, not less valuable as historical material, than 
 the Journal. 
 
 The work was first printed in the Friend's Intelligencer, at the request of 
 Mathew Tyson, in order to recall the somewhat dormant interest of the 
 Society of Friends to the state of the Indians. Martha E. Tyson, his 
 daughter, added the Appendix; and prepared the whole for printing in its 
 present shape, at the expense of her father and brother. It was never offered 
 for sale, but all the copies were presented to Friends and others interested in 
 Indian affairs.

 Six Nations to a great portion of the State of New York in 1784. All of 
 these tribes except the Oneidas, were to be punished for having taken part 
 with the British against the colonists, and immediately on the ratification of 
 peace, the Legislature appointed commissioners to treat with, or in other 
 words, obtain from the Indians great tracts of fertile lands. The maps ex-

 This is the original of Hubbard's Present State of New England, being a 
 Narrative, Sfc, in every respect except the wording of the title, the table of 
 errata, and the errors in the text. It has remained a matter of some doubt 
 whether the London edition is not complete without the map, as the one in 
 the few copies possessing it, has been found so often to correspond perfectly 
 with the one in the American edition announced as " the first ever printed 
 in this country ; " and may have been inserted from the other edition. 
 
 I have seen two copies of the map varying so much, as to prove almost be- 
 yond doubt, that there were two editions of it, as well as of the text. To 
 establish this, so far as to defy skepticism, I caused a photolithographic copy 
 of one to be made, to place beside the other. The third line of the title in 
 one edition ends with the word " done ; " in the other that line terminates 
 with the word " by." In one the fourth line ends with " being," in the other 
 with " in ; " fifth line, " less," fifth line of the other with " exact." Of the 
 six remaining lines only two end similarly. In the centre of the right hand 
 side of the map, the " Wine Hills " of one copy are the " White Hills " of 
 the other. There arc several other slight discrepancies, particularly in the 
 number of plate lines which form the shading. 
 
 It is evident, therefore, that one of these editions of the map was executed for 
 the London edition of the text. We have only internal evidence to direct 
 
Indian Bibliography, 179 
 
 US in determining tliis fact, and no bibliographer would hesitate to declare 
 that the one executed in the best manner is the one engraved in London. 
 It is evident, on the slightest inspection, that tliis is the one having " Wine 
 Hills " engraved below the title in place of " White Hills " as in the other 
 more rudely executed one. In the firat, the letters are more perfectly formed, 
 the shiiding is finer, and the lines representing the ocean sharper, clearer, 
 and more than twice the number of the other. 
 
 A still more curious discrepancy exists between copies of the text of the Bos- 
 ton edition. There is evidence in the table of errata on the last page, that 
 there were two issues, if not two Boston editions, bearing date 1677. I have 
 two copies of that date, precisely similar in every respect, except tliat the 
 errata in one occupies ten lines, and in the other twelve. It is probable that 
 after some copies nad been disseminated, other errors were discovered, and 
 two lines of corrections added. Another peculiarity of the Boston edition, of 
 less consequence, is the error in pagination from pages 84 to 92. Pages 84, 
 86, 88, and 90, are not numbered at all, while pp. 85, 87, 89, 91, and 92, are 
 numbered 84, 85, 86, 87, and 88, respectively. 
 
 The London edition has no errata, which is so remarkable a feature in that 
 printed in Boston. Mr. Hubbard printed in the Boston edition an apology, 
 commencing " The Printer to the Reader. By reason of the Author's long 
 absence from the Press, many faults have escaped in the printing, etc." This 
 is omitted in the London edition, which is comparatively free from the errors 
 indicated, is printed on better paper, and the typography greatly superior. 
 In both editions the title-page is preceded by a recommendation of the work 
 signed by Simon Bradstreet, Daniel Denison, and Joseph Dudley, and dated 
 March 29, 1677 ; immediately following this on the same page in'the London 
 edition, is the license signed Roger L'Estrange, June 27, 1677. Thus it will 
 be seen that the longest period which could have elapsed between the print- 
 ing of the two editions, was three months ; a period entirely too short for 
 the work to be printed in Boston, sent across the ocean, and printed in Lon- 
 don, when we consider the great length of the voyages at that day. It is 
 probable that the first part of the work was printed nearly simultaneously, 
 and from manuscript, in both places. The first poem, addressed to the Rev. 
 William Hubbard, is signed J. S., which is conjectured to mean the Rev. 
 Jeremiah Shepherd of Lynn. The second poem, signed B. T., is supposed to 
 have been written by Benjamin Trumbull. 
 
 In both editions " A Narrative of the Troubles" begins with page 1 and ends 
 with page 115, bnt in the London edition " A Supplement Concerning the 
 War with the Pequods" commences on p. 116, while in that printed in 
 Boston, that page is blank, and the "Supplement" begins on page 117. 
 " A Table shewing the Towns," etc., begins in the London edition on the 
 132d, in the other on the 133d page. The Table and Postscript in the Lon- 
 don, occupy 13 unnumbered pp., which in. the Boston edition occupy 14 pp., 
 the first eight unnumbered, and the last six erroneously numbered 7 to 12, 
 while they should be 9 to 14. 
 
 But it is in the last division of the book that the coincidence is so striking, 
 that the hypothesis of both editions having been printed entirely from man- 
 uscript, seems almost untenable. Both have the same title occupying the 
 upper half of page one. " Narrative of the Troubles with the Indians of 
 New England, From Pascataqua to Pemmaqnid." Both commence in the 
 middle of page 1 , and end at the seventeenth line of the 88th page. They 
 have the same number of lines on the page, and have the same catch words 
 on every page except the first, and even the words printed in Italics in one, 
 are exactly repeated in the same letter in the other. The title of this section 
 is printed in the London with large type, while the same division heading, 
 is in small and mean letters in the Boston edition. The lower half of page 
 88, in this last edition, is occupied with errata, which in the other is entirely 
 
 wanting. 
 
 The remarkable coincidences of typographical execution in the last 88 pages, 
 
 and the almost simultaneous printing in the distant capitals of old and New 
 
180 Indian Bibliography. 
 
 England, will always continue as now, sources of surprise and conjecture. 
 The work is exceedingly rare, complete with the map, and in good condi- 
 tion ; and preference is given to the one printed in Bftston. The latest sold 
 in this country was purchased at the sale of Mr. John Rice's library, for one 
 hundred and eighty dollars. The Rev. William Hubbard was the minister of 
 Ipswich, Mass., where he died September 14th, 1704, aged eighty-three. He 
 was remarkable in an age and country of bigots, for his liberality, moderation, 
 and piety. His narrative has been regarded for two hundred years by his- 
 torians as a standard of authority. It is sometimes accompanied by a tract 
 bound in the same volume, entitled The, Happiness of a People in the Wisdome 
 of their Rulers, etc., a sennon preached in Boston. Printed by John Forster, 
 1676, a year previous to the publication of the Narrative. It was reissued 
 with the Narrative, although an entirely separate publication. The second 
 edition of the Narrative was printed in Boston, 1775, in 24°, much. altered 
 and abbreviated. The third at "Worcester, 1801, in 24°. Three editions in 
 1802 and 1803, at three different localities. In 1834 in 4°. The best reprint 
 is that of Mr. S. G. Drake, in two octavo volumes, with numerous notes. 
 The Rev. William Hubbard was born in England in 1621, and emigrated at 
 the age of fourteen to New England. He wrote a History of New England, 
 which remained in manuscript for nearly a century and a half, or until 1815, 
 when it was printed by the Massachusetts Historical Society. In 1848 the 
 History was reprinted in the Historical Collections of that Society, forming 
 Vols. V . and VI. of the second series. His narrative seems to have excited 
 the envy of the Rev. Increase Mather, who wrote and published two books 
 on tl\e same subject.

 This tract is frequently bound in with Hubbard's History of Indian Wars, 
 of which it is believed never to have formed a part, having been printed a 
 year previously. As it is however so often found appended to the Narrative, 
 collectors have not felt that work to be complete, unless associated with 
 the sermon.

 This book is the narration of one of those attempts to found a viceroyalty, in 
 a distant and unexplored territory, which smacks of the romance and chival- 
 ric enterprise of the old Spanish adventurers. In 1810, two expeditions, 
 having the common object of establishing a settlement on the Pacific, left 
 New York. The one by sea, sailed on board the ill-fated Tonquin, which 
 with its master and crew fell into the vengeful hands of the savages on the 
 northwest coast. The other passed over the same route which Sagard and 
 Hennepin traversed — the ttawa River, and along the string of small lakes to 
 Mackinaw, and then onward to St. Louis. From thence the expedition en- 
 tered upon the realms of savage life, and for a year fought or negotiated its 
 way, through nation after nation, and tribe after tribe, of crafty and hostile 
 Indians. The details of its progress, pictured with the warm coloring of 
 Washington Irving's pen, rivals the stately march of De Soto, or the equally 
 adventurous, and more pacific exploration of La Salle. The narrative is 
 crowded with incidents^of Indian subtlety or ferocity, as well as with de- 
 
186 Indian Bibliography. 
 
 Bcriptions of the manners and peculiarities of the fierce lords of the great 
 plains, and the vaster mountains, before civilization had enervated or cor- 
 rupted them. This is much the best edition of the work. 
 It is fortunate for the memory of the great millionaire Astor, that his at- 
 tempt to establish the first American settlement on the Pacific coast, found 
 such a historian. Irving has done much more to perpetuate the fame of his 
 friend than any act of his own life, or even the reputation of possessing the 
 greatest wealth acquired in a single lifetime could afford.

 The Adventures of Captain Bonneville in the Rocky Mountains

 Two vols. pp. 248 and 248. New York, 1847. 762 
 
 Captain Bonneville was an officer of the t/nited States army who had served 
 for several years on the frontier, where the service required constant associa- 
 tion with tlie Indians, either in making peace or war. Instead of becoming 
 satiated with the incidents of a frontier life, Bonneville's imagination was so 
 fired with the relations of trappers and fur-traders, of the wonders of the 
 Plains and Eocky Mountains, that he obtained tlie permission of the au- 
 thorities to undertake their exploration. His journal of the incidents and 
 adventures of his wonderful journey, is not less interesting as a narrative 
 than valuable as a history. The perils his party survived, perils from the 
 elements, from starvation, and hostile tribes of Indians, would seem the off- 
 spring of an ingenious imagination, were they not autlienticated by the word 
 of honor of a gentleman, who satisfied the fastidious judgment of Washing- 
 ton Irving, with the veracity of his statements. The book is crowded with 
 descriptions of the savage tribes of the unexplored regions bordering the 
 Hocky Mountains, with sketches of their warriors and chiefs, with accounts 
 of skirmishes with their war parties, and the marvelous adventures of fur- 
 trappers among the Indians, whom their own atrocities had made their ene- 
 mies.

 Everything relating to aboriginal life or manners, had an attraction for Wash- 
 ington Irving which he could not resist. The hardy fur- trapper, with his 
 trusty rifle, and his dusky bride, scorning with the fierce pride of independ- 
 ence the sweets of civilization ; the wild warrior of the plains, in his 
 swift foray on the herds of the civilized intruders on his domains, or in 
 bloody invasion of a neighboring tribe, all had for the author a warm color- 
 ing which he loved to paint. It is of such scenes, blended with the softer 
 traditions of Indian lore, and dreams of the better land, this book is com- 
 posed. Irving eagerly seized the opportunity offered by a government mis- 
 sion to the Pawnees, of observing for himself the peculiarities of a savage 
 race ; and of what he saw he has m.ide the most charming picture ever 
 painted of its life.

 The object of tliis expedition was of a higher humanitarian order, than those 
 whicli^ the government lias usually organized for Indians affairs. Under its 
 direction there had been settled on lands claimed by the fierce tribes of the 
 Plains, those unfortunate victims of civilization, the remnants of the Dela- 
 wares and other eastern nations. The wild savages of the great prairies 
 resented this forced intrusion, in their simple distrust not reckoning that 
 their red brethren were exiles, driven from their homes by a power which 
 would soon press them from their own hunting grounds. Between the ex- 
 iles and the natives arose a fierce warfare, and Over the debatable ground 
 was ibughtmany a bloody battle. It would have been in conformity with 
 the greedy policy of the white man, to permit the unsophisticated savages to 
 mutually exterminate each other, and thus leave the land free for the specu- 
 lator. It was, however, to induce peaceable relations between these warring 
 tribes, tliat tlie government sent out Mr. Elsworth as its commissioner. Mr. 
 Irving accompanied the expedition, and his work affords us many interesting 
 incidents of savage life. The work abounds in such fragments of the tradi- 
 tions, history, and peculiarities of the Indian tribes of the Plains as the op- 
 portunity offered the author. The method of dealing with a savage nation 
 to induce it to forego its savage instincts (ending as usual in a surrender of 
 its land), is fully detailed in the work.

 This very interesting narrative of the celebrated expedition of Ferdinando de 
 Soto, is a compilation from La Flonda del Inca of Garcilaso de la Vega, 
 and the English translation of the i'ortuguese work by a gentleman of Elvas, 
 entitled A Relation of the Invasion and Conquest of Florida bi/ the Spaniards 
 Under the Command of Ferdinando de Soto. Aided by Mr. Fairbanks of St. 
 Augustine, by Buckingham Smith, and by Alfred Picket, author of the JBis- 
 tory of Alabama, Mr. Irving gives in the Appendix a sketch of the route, and 
 places occupied by the expedition. The descriptions of the various tribes of 
 Indians, the bloody battles between them and the Spaniards, and tlie obsti- 
 nate resistance of the populous and thriving nations of lavages, through 
 which De Soto and liis devoted band passed, are not more historically val- 
 uable ; but the narrative is more popularly interesting, than in the grave and 
 quaint language of the original authors.

 kings of Tezcuco, in Mexico, wrote many very learned works of great estima- 
 tion, upon the antiquities of his nation, in which he was profoundly versed. 
 Among these were The Histoi-y of New Spain; The Hislortj of the Chuemecas ; 
 An Historical Compendium of the kingdom of Tezcuco ; and Some Historical 
 Memoirs of the Tuliecas and other Nations. Dr. Cahrera says tliat Ixtlilxo- 
 chitl was so cautious in what he wrote, that in order to remove all suspicion 
 of invention or Action, he caused a document to be executed in legal form, 
 authenticating his narrative, as perfectly corresponding to the relations in 
 the historical paintings which he inherited from his ancestors. 
 The second work is the only one of the series which has been printed entire. 
 The MSS. of all the yfoxis named, are said to be preserved m the Jesuits 
 College of St. Peter and St. Paul in the city of Mexico. The History of the 
 Chiceviecas was first printed in the ninth of Kingsborough's great volumes, 
 in the Spanish language. Ternaux Compans translated the work into the 
 French, and produced it as two of the twenty volumes of his series of Voyages 
 and Travels.

 Bustamente, the Mexican editor, gives. an account of thirteen noble Indians, 
 who wrote memoirs and histories of their country, in both Aztec and Span- 
 ish. Ixtlilxochitl's entire work, which remained in MS. until brought to 
 light by Bustamente, comprehended three relations, and commenced at the 
 most ancient period of the history of his race. Bustamente and Ternaux 
 published only the third, which narrated the conquest of Mexico. 
 
 All his works were preserved in MS. in the library of the Jesuits' College 
 in Mexico, and guarded by the Spaniards with great jealousy until that 
 power lost its hold on the country. The authenticity of the history is cer- 
 tified on page 386 of the fourth volume of the manuscript, in the Mexican 
 archives before the notary Ortiz, in 1608, by eleven principal officers who attest 
 that it conforms with the Aztec records, painted by the native historians with 
 which it had been compared. The only questionable statement evolved in 
 its perusal, is that this royal Tescucan historian makes his countrymen so 
 often heroic, and deserve victory if they did not achieve it.

 The strange fate which led this border warrior from the silent forests, prowled 
 only by angry savages or by the scarcely less savage frontiersmen, to die in 
 the crowded city, and he within a few feet of the ceaseless sounding of the 
 million feet wliich tread Broadway, is not less remarkable than the fortune 
 which befell his memory when dead. Made the object of the hatred and 
 detestation of the civilized world, by Jeiferson's publication of Logan's speech, 
 he has not lacked for three quarters of a century the warmest and most active 
 defenders of his memory, from the charge which has made him infamous. 
 Captain Cresap, worn down with anxiety and ill health, did not hesitate to 
 collect a company of his formidable riflemen, and marched to aid his coun- 
 trymen at the siege of Boston. He however was only able to reach New York, 
 where he died in October, 1775, and was buried in Trinity church-yard.

 The editor of this work obtained the material for its construction from the 
 lips of John Tanner, a captive white who had resided among the Indians for 
 thirty years. Mr. James was a man of much information upon Indian 
 affairs, and must have been able to discriminate between the probable and 
 the uncertain portions of Tanner's narrative. The renegade himself (for he 
 had during his long sojourn among the Indians become even more savage 
 than they) was a person of retentive memory and fair intelligence. His 
 relation of his life among the Northern Indians, is probably the most minvite 
 if not authentic detail of their habits, modes of living, and social customs, 
 ever printed. The perils and privations in which they constantly exist, the 
 tribal distinctions, and family associations and quarrels, the hunter's painful 
 struggles to overmatch the cunning and instinct of the animals upon which 
 he must feed or starve, and the labor of the squaws, alternated with days and 
 weeks of gnawing famine, awaiting his return, are all minutely and vividly 
 related. The details of Tanner's captivity, given in his own language as it 
 fell from his lips, are related by him in the first person, pages 23 to 281. Part 
 IL pp. 282 to 293, is entitled " Indian Feasts." On pages 294 to 312, is given a 
 " Catalogue of Plants and Animals Pound in the Country of the Ojibbeways," 
 with their Indian names. Whenever the English name could be ascertained, 
 it is also given. Next follows a catalogue, also in Chippeway, of the Totuma

 pying pp. 314 to 31 6. " Knowledge of Astronomy," is the title of a division 
 of the worii, extending over pp. 316 to 323. A comparison of Chippeway 
 nnmerals with nearly fifty other American dialects, occupies pp. 324 to 333. 
 On pp. 341 to 381, are given a large collection of songs in the Indian lan- 
 guage, with their English translation in parallel lines, and the hieroglyphic 
 signs, or rather pictographs of these chants. Chapter iv. occupying pp. 382 
 to 426, is entitled "Languages of the American Indians," of which by far the 
 largest portion is filled with a co])ious vocabulary of words and phrases in 
 the Ottawa and Chippeway languages. Dr. James is said by Schoolcraft to 
 have been imposed upon by Tanner, whom Mr. Schoolcraft declared to be 
 "more suspicious, revengeful, and bad tempered than any Indian he ever 
 knew." After the publication of Tanner's narrative, the people of St. 
 Mary's were accustomed to call him the Old Liar. This so enraged him 
 against Dr. James, that he made efforts to kill him, for printing what those 
 accquainted with him called lies. Schoolcraft was, however, strongly preju- 
 diced against Tanner, who had assaulted himself, and who in 1846, actually 
 murdered James Schoolcraft, his brother, by shooting him from behind a 
 cedar thicket. The renegade then fled back to the hills of the upper lake.-*. 
 Dui-ing his residence in a civilized community he had married a white girl, 
 who, unable to endure his brutality longer than a year, fled from him and 
 was divorced. Mr. James was also the editor of Long's Expedition to the Source 
 of the Mississippi.

 The narrative of Jewett's captivity, was written by Richard Alsop, of Middle- 
 town, Connecticut, author of several books of poems, and translator of Molina's 
 History of Chili. The details of the adventures of Jewettwere drawn from 
 him by the indefatigable queries of Alsop, who after some years declared 
 that he feared he had done Jewett but little good, in furnishing him with a 
 vagabond mode of earning a livelihood, by hawking his book from a wheel- 
 barrow through the country. 
 The narrative of Jewett affords us many new and interesting particulars of 
 the life and habits of the most savage of American aborigines. It is probably 
 as faithful a portrayal of them as could be made by an unlettered man, after 
 the lapse of several years. A vocabulary of the Nootka language, containing 
 nearly one hundred words, occupies page 4.

 pastor Megapolensis, and his reception by Queen Anne of France, who kissed

 final martyrdom by that tribe, we read with bated breath and unabated in-

 among the Senecas for several months, in the society of educated Indians, 
 and was adopted into the tribe under the name of Gui-ee-wa-zay, " The nar-

 This work is the result of a personal examination of the aboriginal monu- 
 ments of Georgia, aided by such fortuitous circumstances as seldom fall to 
 the lot of the explorer. These were, the existence of great numbers of unex- 
 plored mounds near his residence, the possession of sufficient means to pro- 
 vide the manual labor for their exploration, and a large provision of the taste 
 and zeal tor archteological discoveries, which only can give the requisite en- 
 durance of the tedious and often fruitless labor. Whatever Colonel Jones 
 commences to investigate, he is satisfied with nothing less than completeness, 
 of which quality of mind, his works are sufficient evidence.

 The large-minded and heroic Indian chief, who welcomed Oglethorpe to the 
 lands of his nation, and fed and protected the infant colony during those 
 early years, when disease and the Spaniards threatened its existence, well 
 deserved a biography. No hero of the colonies of North America, even the 
 loud boasting Captain John Smith, the zealous yet humane Roger Williams, 
 or the noble Oglethorpe himself, better deserved an enduring monument than 
 Tomo-Chi-Chi. The qualities of mind which he possessed, would have added 
 honor to many of the great names, recorded in the annals of the early settle- 
 ments of our country. Mr. Jones has done fuU justice to his subject, by for- 
 tifying the facts of his biography with undoubted authorities. Some particu- 
 lars of the life of this chief, with his portrait, may be found in the Ulsperger 
 tracts.

 The first Introduction was an author's puerile whim. Having once conceived 
 this precious piece of absurdity, his parental affection for it would not per- 
 mit Mm to throw it entirely aside, and accordingly while he prints it in the 
 initial pages of his book, on pp. i. to xxxiii., he adds another Introduction, 
 also numbered pp. i. to xxviii., in which he soberly informs us that this time 
 he is telling the truth. In the second Introduction (the first being taken to 
 be pure fiction), he infoiTOS us that he spent his boyhood among the Gayhead 
 Indians of Martha's Vineyard Island, and heard their stories of Indian 
 ghosts and witches. In after-life he strolled among the Cherokees, Creeks, 
 Chickasaws, Shawnees, and Chippeways, of whom he set all the idle brains 
 to work inventing tales for his note-book. He asserts a firm belief in them 
 for himself, and solemnly asserts that the many weird and dreary hobgoblin 
 stories he narrates, are the veritable emanations of aboriginal annalists. In 
 the last thirteen pages of his second introduction, Mr. Jones gives the sources 
 of a large number of his traditions, and of these it may be said that the ori- 
 gin was from such respectable authorities, that they may be taken as repre- 
 sentative of the characteristics of the Indian intellect and emotions. The 
 copious and numerous notes scattered through the volumes upon Indian his- 
 tory and customs, have also an authenticity, which entitles them to respect.

 Stockbridge, in Massachusetts, was the residence of the Stockbridge Housa- 
 tonic Muh-he-ka-ne-ok (Mohegan) Indians. They were called by the Eng- 
 lish, ' River Indians,' a fair translation of their name, which signified "The 
 people of the ever flowing waters." 
 
 In Section II. entitled " Indian History," the authoress reproduces a fragment 
 of a work said to be written by the Indian " Captain Hendrick Aupaumut." 
 It consists of ten closely printed pages, of very valuable information regard- 
 ing the habits and mode of life of the Stockbridge Indians. Section III. is 
 entitled "Further particulars relating to Manners, Customs, Religion, etc.," 
 and Section IV., " Language of the Muh-he-ka-ne-ok." Sections V. to XIX. 
 are entirely occupied with a history of the Missions among the tribe until 
 1785, when it removed to Madison County in New York, upon a tract of 
 land donated to them by the Oneidas, as a mark of gratitude for their aid in 
 the Revolutionary War, during which the latter were threatened with de- 
 struction by the Senecas. Chapters xx. and xxi. narrate their removal to 
 New Stockbridge, and Chapters xxiii. and xxiv. their emigration again to 
 Lake Winnebago. Their fourth removal in 1848 to Minnesota, to which 
 they were driven by the greed of speculators, aided by an unscrupulous and 
 faithless government, is narrated in Chapter xxv. Sections XXVI. and 
 XXVII. are entitled " Biographical Notices of Indians, and of Individuals 
 engaged in the Stockbridge Missions."

 directly to the shores of Amevicii, with almost as much definitencss, as he 
 could had he accompanied them. It only needs an Appendix, tracing the 
 ancestry of the American aborigines through the Tyrians, from the planet 
 Herschel, to complete his scheme.

 This expedition against the Chicasaw Indians, embarked from New Orleans 
 about the first of August, 1739, with one hundred and forty men, haying lost 
 by the terrible fever, fifty-eight of its number, besides leaving seventy in the 
 hospital. They proceeded in eight bateaux up the Mississippi. On the 11th 
 of October, reinforced by one hundred and ninety French, from Canada, and 
 three hundred Indians, principally Iroquois, the expedition departed fi'om Fort 
 Assumption near Memphis. From that time the commander, Mr. Bienville, 
 was embarrassed with the number of the savages, who offered to accompany 
 him. Thus the poor Indians were induced, by the gratification of their 
 mutual hatred, to destroy each other. In 1 736, the Chicasaws had defeated the 
 French, with a loss of one hundred and twenty men, in an attack upon their 
 fort, and the French had induced the Choctaws, then so powerful as to be 
 able to raise four thousand warriors, to make war upon the Chicasaws, but 
 they had also been driven back. Mr. Bienville was fortunate enough on this 
 occasion, through the intrepidity of Lieut. St. Laurent (who went alone to 
 the Chickasaw tort), to make a lasting peace with this warlike nation.

 it differs from that of 1714, in nothing except the title. The edition of

 rious relation of Joutel, was the last which the public received of the unfor-

 Saskatchewan ; across the Eocky Mountains, down the Columbia River ; the 
 shores of Paget Sound, and Vancouver's Island. The book is a transcript 
 of his daily journal, thrown into the narrative form ; and the beautiful 
 engravings are copies of the labors of his pencil. It is an interesting col- 
 lection of the incidents of life and travel, among the Indian tribes inhabiting 
 the regions over which he passed.

 Although the explorations to the Arctic Regions have all had for their object 
 the discovery of an open channel between the two great oceans, or the relief 
 of the survivors of Sir John Franklin's expedition, yet the abongmal tribes 
 which inhabit those gloomy regions have always attracted a large share of 
 the attention of the explorers. A great part ot these volumes of Dr. Kane 
 is occupied with descriptions of the Esquimaux, portraits of their women and 
 principal men, and illustrations of scenes in their life.

 The author narrates in this work, the incidents of a campaign against the In- 
 dians of the Plains, in which the usual military role of fighting the Indians 
 when they were best prepared, was not adhered to. General Sheridan as- 
 sailed them in the depth of winter, when the resources which make them so 
 difficult to find or overtake were unavailable. A winter's campaign upon the 
 ocean wastes of the prairies, skirmishes with the savage enemy, and at last 
 a great battle with the despairing tribes, cooped up in a frozen plain, with 
 details of some bloody massacres, afford a sufficient scope for the writer, who 
 seems to have given us a faithful and accurate narrative of them.

 ration, and at the same time begs us to excuse what shall be proved false ; a 
 puerile account of his childhood in the first chapter, and an occasional 
 attempt to throw a sentimental and melodramatic glow over his narrative, do 
 not establish a perfect confidence in its historic truthfulness. In the seventh 
 chapter he commences an account of his adventures among the Indians west 
 of the Mississippi, which he continues through the twelve succeeding ones, or 
 from pp. 90 to 192. If it is history, it is intolerably like fiction ; and if it is 
 a romance, it has too much resemblance to history to be amusing.

 Although the author announces in his second edition, that it is extended as 
 well as revised, yet on comparison it will be found that the revision consisted, 
 in excluding from it the narrative of Manheim's and others' captivity which 
 was printed in the first edition, as well as the chapter on slavery, a subject 
 which in the interval of seventeen years, could not be safely treated in the 
 manner of the author, for which he substituted a chapter on the Revolution in 
 the second. Mr. Brantz Mayer says, " Some liberties have been taken with Mr. 
 Doddi-idge's 'Notes on the Indian Wars, and Settlement of the Western Parts,

 The Appendix to the second volume, however, does contain some additional 
 and interesting matter relating to conflicts with the Indians, which was col- 
 lected by Kereheval. Copies of either editions have become scarce, the first 
 being much the most difficult to procure.

 The Indian traditions regarding the Eries and their destruction, the narra- 
 tives of the early explorers, Champlain, Le Moine, and Hennepin, an account 
 of the expeditions of La Barre, De Nouville, and Trontenac against the Six 
 Nations, and an abridgment of the Journal of La Salle's Exploration, form 
 the subjects of the first seven chapters, to page 108. The wars of the Sen- 
 ecas with the French during the first half of the eighteenth century; "The 
 Senecas in Rebellion," and the history of the war of the Six Nations against 
 the Colonies during the Revolution, fill the remainder of the volume. The 
 narrative of Col. Thomas Proctor, a daily journal of the incidents of a 
 Mission of a Commissioner of the Govetnment to the Six Nations in 1791, 
 forms the Appendix to Vol. L pp. 413 to 426, and pp. 305 to 318 of 
 Appendix to Vol. II. An account of Sullivan's Expedition against the 
 Senecas, with a description of the obsequies of Lieut. Boyd and his men, 
 slaughtered during the passage of that army, is given in pp. 319 to 344 of 
 the Appendix to Vol. II. Nearly half of the second volume is also devoted 
 to the history of Indian affairs, as connected with that of Buffalo.

 This narrative of the suflFerings and devotion of a Revolutionary hero, hitherto 
 but little_ known to the people whose cause he espoused, is entirely devoted 
 to the minutiffi of seven years' residence among the Micmacs, Maracheets, 
 Passammaquody, and Penobscot Indians, during which he acted as their 
 chief or superintendent, and influenced their neutrality during the conflict. 
 The eastern settlements of New England, in consequence, entirely escaped 
 the massacre and conflagration which desolated the Mohawk and Wyo- 
 ming valleys. His Journals kept with great minuteness, and the letters and 
 documents sent to the Indians, -n-ith those dictated and signed by them, form 
 the great bulk of the volume. They are most interesting memoirs of the life 
 and character of those tribes, which are the last remnants of the powerful 
 nations which once controlled the territory of New England.

 Dr. King's narrative is full of the details of Indian life, as it was presented to 
 the members of Captain Back's expedition. He looked at the same transic- 
 tions with the natives, and the same phases of their character which Captain 
 Back portrays, from a different point, and their coloring to his eye bears an- 
 other tinge. His journal, filled with descriptions of interviews with the Chip- 
 
204i Indian Bibliography. 
 
 pewyans, Crees, Dog-Ribs, and Esquimaux, is therefore exceedingly inter- 
 esting even after tlie perusal of Captain Back's narrative. Although every 
 chapter is largely devoted to incidents associated with the natives, and anec- 
 dotes illustrative of their character. Dr. King yields the whole of Chapter 
 xii. to an examination and relation of the present condition of the tribes in- 
 habiting the Hudson's Bay territories. 
 The Doctor does not attempt to conceal the chagrin he felt, at the cool ab- 
 sorption of iiis own careful researches in the narrative of Captain Back. In 
 the splendid work of that really eminent explorer, thei-e appears a little, and 
 but a little of that want of generosity which the relation of Dr. King insin- 
 uates. Both give the most minute narrations of the peculiar traits of the 
 Northern Indians, their destructive wars, tlieir wasting from disease, and 
 famine, and debauchery, all of which are directly traceable to their communi- 
 cation with the whites. Dr. King, however, finds in them traces of some of 
 the nobler, as well as the more tender emotions, the possession of which 
 Captain Back somewhat superciliously derides. Dr. King very justly re- 
 minds him that the gallant Captain owed his life, and that of his entire 
 party, to the devotion and self-denial, through two long starving winters, of 
 the Chippewyan chief Akaitcho. This remarkable Indian deserves an hon- 
 orable fame. While his tribe in common with himself were starving, he 
 shared with Captain Franklin in his two expeditions, and with Captain Back 
 in a third, the scanty food, which his superior hunter-craft enabled him to 
 obtain, when the duller white reason failed. Captain Franklin would never 
 have sailed upon his fateful voyage, but for the humanity of Akaitcho, as he 
 would have perished of starvation on his first exploration.

 This edition, having an index, is superior to the others in that respect ; a work 
 of this size upon the Jesuit missions in America, could scarcely be more than 
 a collection of annals of the Society of Jesus, or much more than a chrono- 
 logical statement of their establishment and effects. The gigantic opera- 
 tions of this society, reaching from the great lakes of Canada through almost 
 every tribe of savages to Patagonia ; their wonderful success in Christian- 
 izing whole nations, in forming missionary establishments which became 
 hierarchies, in combining these until they became kingdoms with priests for 
 monarchs, could only be told in many volumes of folios. The story of the 
 martyrdoms of Jesuit missionaries among the Indians, would alone fill a 
 book much greater than this. Father Kip's work is composed of the jour- 
 nals and letters of missionaries, among which is the very interesting and im. 
 portant account of the massacre at Fort George, by Father Roubaud.

 eminent German traveller Mr. Kohl, has given one of the most exhaustive

 personal experience, and one which only the most fervent scientific zeal and 
 earnest self-abnegation, as well as a very high order of ititelligence, could 
 produce. He surrendered all the repugnances to filth, barbarism, and ex- 
 posure with which civilization and self-indulgence invest us, to live inti- 
 mately and confidentially with the Indian tribes around Lake Superior. 
 He endeavored to penetrate the thick veil of distrust, ignorance, and super- 
 stition which conceal the mind of the Indian, and learn the innate traverses 
 of thought which give motive to his soul. How well he succeeded, every 
 one will know who commences to read his book, for its interest will compel 
 him to finish it.

 This learned essay upon the origin of the American Indians, was written to 
 refiite the arguments of Hugo Grotius, who controverted the theory of their 
 Scythian descent. In 1642, Grotius maintained that the Indians of America 
 north of Yucatan derived their origin from the Norwegians, who emigrated 
 by way of Iceland, Greenland, and Labrador. That Yucatan was peopled 
 from Ethiopia, he established from some rumor wliich had reached him of 
 their practice of circumcision. That Peru was populated by the Chinese, 
 he finds proof from their worship of the sun, their architecture, and their 
 laws, which he confirms by repeating some tradition, which he fathers upon 
 Herrcra, of the wrecks of Chinese vessels found on the coast of Patagonia. 
 Lastly, he asserts the origin of the inhabitants of the southerly portions of 
 South America, in the natives of New Guinea, and the Moluccas. Laet con- 
 troverted these theories in the treatise first printed in 1643, and effectually 
 demolishes most of the arguments of Grotius, by proving the statements on 
 which thev were founded to be fallacious. On the ruins of his antagonist's 
 theoretic structures, Laet erected a hypothetical edifice quite as frail. The 
 Canaries afforded a convenient half-way station, and having read in Pliny that 
 the remains of ancient buildings had been seen on some islands on the coast 
 of Africa, he thinks the Spaniards, troubled by the Carthaginians, modeled 
 some vessels after those of their enemies, sailed to the Canaries and subse- 
 quently drifted to Brazil, which they peopled. Laet inclines also to credit 
 the story of Prince Madoc's Welsh immigration, and argues favorably to its 
 adoption. He however, gives the greatest credence, to the hypothesis of the 
 Scythian population of North America, and labors hard to establish it. He 
 also thinks it probable, that the Pacific Islands contributed to populate the 
 western coasts of South America. Grotius, in a treatise printed in 1643, 
 replied with much more hauteur than logic ; and with scarcely any addition 
 of argument. To this Laet responded with bis second treatise entitled, JRe-

 descriptions of the peculiarities of Florida. Six chapters of Book V. on 
 Mexico, nine of Book XI. on Peru, five of Book XV. on Brazil, and four of 
 Book XVII. on Guiana, are entirely occupied with dissertations on the lan- 
 guage and origin, with descriptions of the appearance and manners of the 
 aborigines of the respective countries. Vocabularies and grammatical anal- 
 yses of the languages of the various nations of savages who inhabited the 
 countries described, will be found on pages 52, 57, 80, 81, 153, 155, 406, 536,

 and curious details of the natural history, and the character, manners, and 
 customs of the American aborigines, derived from the reports of the European 
 mission establishments in America. It contains many documents upon 
 American philology, taken for the most part from the collection of Ramusio, 
 upon the languages of the natives of Canada, and the relation of Lery of

 [Manners of the Savages of America compared with those of Ancient Times. 
 By Father Lafitau of the Order of Jesuits. The work enriched with many 
 engravings on copperplate.] 
 
 Lafitau gives very extended and very exact details of the customs, manners, 
 and religion of the savages of America, though principally of the Indians of 
 Canada. He knew well the subject of which he treated, as his acquaintance 
 with Indian customs was acquired by having lived a long time among the 
 Iroquois. Charlevoix says : " We have nothing so exact upon the subject of 
 which he treats. His parallel of ancient nations with the American Indians 
 is very ingenious, and exhibits as great familiarity with the nations of antiq- 
 uity in the Old World, as with the aborigines of the new." 
 
 The author undertook in his lengthy treatise upon the American Indians, to 
 prove, from the similarity of their customs with those of the ancient nations 
 inhabiting northern and central Asia, that they must be the descendants of 
 emigrants from Tartary. He is confident that although it may be proved 
 in time that the two continents do not quite connect their lands, yet that 
 the arm of the sea separating them will prove so narrow, that it could have

 The work of La Hontan has not received the amount of credit to which it is 
 really entitled, although written by a man of more than ordinary learning 
 and intelligence. Had he written no other work than the New Voyages, it is 
 probable that it would have experienced no lack of esteem, but his Relations 
 even when scrupulously exact, have felt the malign influence of the skepti- 
 cism and infideUty which he infused into his subsequent work, Dialogues be- 
 tween the Author and a Sauvage. The present work is a translation of his Voy- 
 age originally published in French in two volumes, 1703, and of his Dialogue 
 in the same language in one volume, 1704.

 The first worlc, New Voyages to N. A., occupies the whole of Vol. I. of the 
 translation, and pp. 1 to 89 of Vol. II. " A Conference or Dialogue be- 
 tween the Author and Adario," occupies pp. 90 to 183. " Voyages to Portu- 
 gal and Denmark," pp. 1S.5 to 286. And on pp. 287 to 303, is "A Short 
 Dictionary of the most Universal Language of the Savages," being a vo- 
 cabulary of the Algonquin tongue. 
 
 The Voi/ages are almost wholly devoted to a description of the maniiers, cus- 
 toms, domestic habits, and method of warfare of the Indians of Canada. 
 All of the nineteen plates are illustrative of the same characteristics of the 
 savages. 
 
 The Baron La Hontan went to Canada in 1683, when only sixteen years old, 
 and remained in that country nearly twenty years. He was required by his 
 
 f>atron to write to him a detailed statement of the affairs of the colony in his 
 etters, as a recognition of the yearly assistance he received fi-om him. In 
 this correspondence he did not flatter the priests, and imputed the evils 
 which the colony suffered from the war with the Iroquois to their counsels. 
 Becoming aware that steps were being taken by the Goveraor of Newfound- 
 land to send him a prisoner to France, he fled to Portugal and thence to 
 England. He says in his Preface, that had the King of Prance restored him 
 to his offices, he would have given his book to the flames. But the rich and 
 powerful ministers Pontchartrain were inexorable, and in consequence the 
 book was printed. He asserts that the Dialogue which has generally been 
 viewed as a fiction, is a true and faithful relation of conversations held with 
 a Huron Indian named The Kat. La Hontan showed his MS. notes of the 
 various reflections and sentiments of the Huron to Count Prontenac, who 
 was much pleased with them, and aided him in stripping them of their met- 
 aphorical dress. This unfortunate meddhng with the savage phraseology 
 has also stripped the Dialogue of all its authenticity and value. La Hontan 
 was in England while these volumes were printing, and in consequence of 
 his supervision they are more correct than the French edition.

 The dramatical part of the work is probably imaginary. The traits of the 
 savages are doubtless fairly illustrated in its course, but it was used as a 
 medium by the author to proclaim his deistical theories, and is of as much 
 historical consequence as Rogers' Ponteach, or Count Johannes' Tecum.ieh. a

 This piece of Las Cii>as' was not included in his Spanish works, first issued 
 in 1552-53, and has never been printed in Spain [Stevem). It is even 
 more rare than the other pieces of Las Casas which are so seldom reunited. 
 The Works of Las Cas;is — the first Catholic priest ordained in America, the 
 first advocate of the abolition of American Slavery, the Apostle to the In- 
 dians — deserve from their intrinsic excellence as well as the excessive rarity 
 of the original editions, an extended bibliographical notice. 
 For more than three hundred years, there has been known to exist in one or 
 more libraries of Europe, a series of treatises, written by one of the com- 
 panions of Columbus, who survived his friend the discoverer, more than 
 sixty years. Of all the names, associated with the discovery and contjuest 
 of America, that of the author, Don Bartholomew do Las Casas, is second 
 in eminence only to that of Columbus. The treatises consist of nine, or by 
 some notations (when the Carta is separated from the Brevisshna Rdacion), 
 of ten small quarto volumes, whose rarity has caused more than one of their 
 number to be unknown to the collectors and editors of his works. Three 
 
216 Indian Bibliography. 
 
 nearly complete series of the original editions of Las Casas's treatises, are 
 gathered in as many private libraries of Brooklyn ; and two in those of 
 New York. 
 
 It is probable that so great a number do not exist in any country in Europe. 
 No public library in America claims to possess the whole series. Even so 
 early as 1646, within one hundred years after the date of their first publicar 
 tion, an edition entitled Las Obras de B. de Las Casas, contained only six 
 of the ten treatises; and when in 1822, Llorente printed his audacious para- 
 phrase of them, under the title of CoUeccion de las Obras dd Venerable Obispo 
 de las Casas, with a French edition entitled Oeuvres de Las Casas (each pub- 
 lished in two volumes, 8° Paris, 1822), he only used the same number as the 
 basis of his work. 
 
 In fact, it is altogether probable, that Llorente never saw the originals, and 
 knew of Las Casas' works only by the edition of 1646. In America, six 
 private libraries possess the original edition of Las Casas' treatises nearly or 
 quite complete. These are, the collections of the Hon. Henry C. Murphy, 
 J. Carson Brevoort, T. W. Field, of Brooklyn. James Lenox, S. M. L. Bar- 
 low, of New York, and John Carter Brown, of Providence. 
 
 Mr. Brevoort's copy was obtained at the sale of the Emperor Maximilian's 
 library in Leipsic, 1 869. A curious incident, illustrative of some of the pecu- 
 liarities of book collecting, occurred in connection with the sale of this copy. 
 Order had been transmitted by this gentleman, and the writer, to different 
 agents for its purchase. So that at the distance of four thousand miles, we 
 were made to compete for its possession, until it .reached five hundred francs. 
 
 The career of the author of these distinguished treatises, was not less eminent 
 than varied. Born in Seville in 1474, Las Casas, at the age of twenty-four, 
 accompanied Columbus in his third voyage to America, in 1498, and was 
 the first priest ordained on the soil of the New World. This event took 
 place in San Domingo in 1510, where he sang the first new mass, ever cele- 
 brated, on a Continent now containing 20,000,000 Catholics. Every career, 
 which ambition could incite to attain, or self interest prompt him to seek, 
 was open and possible to him; yet he chose the humble self abnegation of 
 a priest. The scenes of bloodshed which he narrates in his works, have 
 thrilled the world with horror for more than three centuries. 
 
 Judging from circumstances attending their composition, internal evidences, 
 and the dates of their titles, we may approximately fix their respective order 
 of issue from the press. Thus, the Brevissima, having been written twelve 
 years prior to its publication, would naturally take the first rank. The 
 Tratado Coprabaiono, dated in the colophon 1553, and being a summary 
 of all, except the Explicatio Reges printed in 1571, was doubtless, the latest 
 printed with that exception. The Thirty Projiositions, written in defense of 
 the Twelve Rules of the Confessional, must of course have been printed 
 subsequently to them, and therefore the Ausios Reglas y Confessores takes 
 the third place in order of publication. Examined by similar analysis, the 
 bibliographical history of his treatises should, it appears to me, have the fol- 
 lowing chronological sequence : — 
 
 I. The first work of Las Casas was written in 1 540, and submitted to the 
 Emperor and Council in MS. It is, in substance, the same as the one after- 
 wards known under the title of Brevissima Relacion de In Destruccion de 
 las Indias. Although we now wonder at the boldness of this wonderful 
 treatise, and esteem the courage of Las Casas as little less than superhuman, 
 it is probable that it once contained much more to surprise us with its te- 
 merity. The allusions to persons who perpetrated the dreadful acts of cruelty 
 he related, were doubtless well understood ; but Mr. Help's assumj)tion that 
 the memoir when first presented contained their names, is not warranted by 
 the assertions of Las Casas himself. In his Prolorjo to the Replicas in the 
 Disputa the Bishop says " I have before been permitted to present to you, 
 
 some works to prove the injustice of the wars upon the Indians and 
 
 without going beyond the circle of generalities, I have rigorously imposed 
 a law upon myself, never to name any one of my adversaries." — (Dispuia 
 con Sepidveda, verso of folio 29, edition Sevilla, 1552.) Wherever he found

 It necessary to refer to any one of the perpetrators of the cruelties he de- 
 scntics, he generally terms him, "this tyrant" or "tliat oppressor." 
 ine Urevissima Relacion remains to-day almost unparalleled in the vigor of 
 MS composition and the nobility of its design. Yet this noblest work of 
 pmianthropy was, by a sti-ange perversity of fortune, dedicated to Prince 
 rnuip, tated to become one of the most inhuman monsters who ever filled 
 a throne. The work is divided into nineteen Articles, each portraving in 
 (letail ^ the condition of the Indians, in one of the provinces of Spanish 
 America, and is concluded by a Summary, and Addition for the year 1546. 
 11. Ihe date of the tract which I place as the second work of Las Casas, is 
 very uncertain, as it has neither title-page or colophon. It commences Ixi 
 que ise sic/ue es un pedaco de una Carta, and is usually found appended to 
 the Brevissma Relacion. It consists of four leaves,' and contains the frag- 
 ment of a letter, written by a Spaniard, who witnessed some of the dread- 
 ful scenes of slaughter of the Indians which he narrates. 
 
 j"^'^ 'lii'"'i ■work was probably written soon after the Brevissima Relacion, 
 and followed in the same order of publication. It is entitled, Entre los 
 Remedies para reformacion de las Indias. (Among the Remedies for the 
 reformation of the Indies.) The treatise is divided into twenty sections, 
 entitled Razones, or " Reasons why the Indians should not be disposed of in 
 Repartimientos." 
 
 IV. The fourth printed work of the venerable prelate, was probably the one 
 entitled Aqui se cotiene unos ausius y reglas para los Coiifessores, or the 
 twelve rules to govern the confessors, appointed by him to act in his diocese 
 of Chiapa, while he was attending the council in the City of Mexico, 1547. 
 It is not impossible that these rules were first printed in that city, as a 
 press had been established there seven years previously. By these rules, the 
 offices of the church were prohibited to" all persons who hold repartimientos, 
 or who did not restore the avails of unrequited labor, by the Indians. 
 
 V. But it was in his fifth work that the fervent energy, the massive intellect, 
 and great learning of the good bishop was exhibited most illustriously. 
 His renowned controversy with the eminent scholar and casnist Sepulveda, 
 was the origin of this treatise, entitled, Aqui se cotiene una dispiita vel Dr. 
 Gines Septdveda. This remarkable man, whose learning and elegance of 
 style obtained for him the title of " The Livy of Spain," had written a 
 work entitled, Democriius Sdcundus, in which he maintained, with wonderful 
 power of reasoning, the right of the Catholic monarch to dispose at pleasure 
 of the lives and property of the Indians. Mr. Harrise, in his Bibliotheca 
 Vetustissima, says that after diligent search, he could not ascertain that 
 the Demoa'itas Alter had everlieeu published; and with good reason, for its 
 printing was absolutely prohibited by Charles V., although Sepulveda was 
 on terms of great intimacy with that monarch. The conscience of the 
 emperor, now satiated with conquest, was alarmed by the awful narratives 
 of Las Casas ; and Sepulveda's work slept in MS., from which it has never 
 awakened. The author, however, partially evaded the royal mandate, and 
 printed three years after at Rome, some of its principal arguments in a 
 work called Apologia pro Libro de ,/ustis Belli Causis. 
 
 Of this fifth printed work, more than one edition bearing the date of 1552, 
 was published. The copy in my possession has thirty-three variations in 
 the title and colophon from the one in the library of Mr. Brevoort. The 
 work is divided into three sections, of wljich the iirst is a summary of the 
 motives which have given rise to the contradictory opinions of Las Casas 
 and Sepulveda; prepared by the learned monk Domingo de Soto. Article 
 
 II. contains the objections "of Dr. Sepulveda to the reasons of Las Casas, 
 both as stated bv De Soto and as drawn fiom Las Casas' memoir. Article 
 
 III. is composed of the answers of Las Casas, to the responses of Dr. Sepul- 
 veda, arranged in twelve sections entitled Replicas. 
 
 VI. The sixth publication of Las Casas is entitled, Este es un Tralado q el 
 Obispo de Las Casas . . . sobre la materia de los Indios, or "A Treatise upon 
 the Indians who have been made slaves in the Indies ; containing some reas- 
 ons for settling the doubtful questions of restitution to them." 
 
218 Indian Bibliography. 
 
 VII. The seventh in the probable order of publication, is that entitled, Aqui 
 se cotiene Treynta propociones or " Thirty propositions regarding the work 
 called Cont'essionario." The Bishop, during his absence in Mexico at- 
 tending a council, had, as already noted, written twelve rales to the con- 
 fessors whom he had appointed in his diocese to govern them in giving abso- 
 lution. The rites of the Church were by a bull of Pope Paul III. refused 
 to all who held Indians in slavery, and restitution of goods obtained by 
 violence from them, was required by the rules of the Bishop founded upon 
 this great authority. Complaint having been made to the Council of the 
 Indies, of the rigor of these rules, the thirty propositions were written to 
 sustain them. 
 ' VIII. The eighth work of the Bishop of Chiapas was written and printed 
 in Latin, under the title Principia gueda ex quibus procedendum, etc. "Cer- 
 tain principles to be established in disputations regarding the government 
 of the Indians." It was evidently an attempt to familiarize the minds of 
 the clergy with the principles upon which he based his whole theory of the 
 right of the Indians to person and property. 
 
 IX. The ninth printed work of Las Casas is the Tratado Coprahatorio, dated 
 in the title 1552, but in the colophon 1553. It is the largest of the series, 
 containing eighty-four leaves in one edition, and only eighty in the other. 
 The fact that two editions were printed with the same date, seems hitherto 
 unsuspected. From comparison of several copies of this work, it seems 
 clear to me that it cannot be questioned. The Gothic characters, the size of 
 the page, and even the number of lines in each page, are preserved in all the 
 copies of either treatise I have seen except the ninth. It is, therefore, still 
 uncertain whether more than one edition of the others was printed with the 
 date of 1552. 
 
 Which of the two editions of that treatise is the first, it is probably now im- 
 possible to detennine. So much at least may be conjectured, that both were 
 printed in the lifetime of Las Casas, as there are orthographical changes, 
 which would be more readily suggested to the fastidious sensitiveness of an 
 author. These emendations being found iu the copies containing eighty- 
 four leaves, indicate that the edition complete in eighty leaves was the iirst 
 printed. 
 
 X. The tenth and last of the series was not printed until 1571, five years 
 after his death. It is entitled, D. Bartholomew de Las Casas, . . . Questionis 
 mrum Reges vel Principes jure aliqao vet titido, etc. " Examination of the Ques- 
 tion whether kings and princes have the right to dispose of their subjects 
 to other princes." 
 
 It is a wonderful enunciation of the inalienable, right to person and property, 
 which found its practical exemplification in America more than two cen- 
 turies afterwards. Its doctrines had met a sympathetic and hearty response 
 from the Emperor Charles the Fifth, and the hearts of the Catholic clergy. 
 Long before, many devout and holy men had stimulated his zeal, and 
 warmed his conscience while pondering over those mighty propositions. 
 They afford us ground for astonishment and admiration. First, that those 
 despotic and ambitious prince.-s. Charles V. and Philip II., should have lis- 
 tened and assented to them. Second, that the first Catholic priest ordained 
 in the New World should have been the first great casuist, to annouuco the 
 principles upon which all its governments should one day be established. 
 They attracted the attention of princes, prelates, and philosophers iu every 
 country of Eui'ope. 
 
 XI. But the mind of this wonderful man, who seemed destined never to feel 
 the infirmities of age, was not in repose even when approaching his ninetieth 
 year. In 1555 he had written his eleventh work, in the form of a letter of 
 great length, chai-acterized by all his wonderful reasoning, addressed to the 
 Archbishop of Toledo, then acting as adviser and confessor of I'hilip II. iu 
 England, in which he urges with all the fervent vehemence of his "nature, 
 and the massive reason and learning of his mind, the injustice of the con- 
 templated sale of the Encomiendas in perpetuity, or in other words the fasten- 
 ing of unending slavery on the wretched Indians of America. This letter 
 
Indian BibUography. 219 
 
 was printed for the first time by Llorente in his edition of the works of Las 
 Casas (Paris, 1822), and occupies sixty pages of the second volume. His 
 appeal was communicated to the king, and even that stern monarch was 
 convinced. The sale of perpetual " Kepartimientos " was prohibited, by an 
 edict from the very monster whose cruelties depopulated Holland. 
 
 XII. In the seclusion and repose of his convent, Las Casas was still engaged 
 upon a work which he had commenced as early as 1527, on his first entering 
 the Dominican order, and which in 1566 he left uncompleted. This was his 
 greatest work, the " History of the Indies ; " which to the regret of all the lov- 
 ers of historic truth has never been printed. The Manuscript has more than 
 once been faithfully copied, and one of these transcripts rests in the library 
 of Jlr. James Lenox of New York. Two other copies are said to exist in 
 the United States. The MS. copy made for Mr. Rich is comprised in four 
 folio volumes covering 3,647 pages. The work is characterized by all the 
 vigor of expression, elevation of style, and minuteness of statement, which 
 give such decided personality to his other writings. It has proved a mine of 
 almost exhaustless riches to other writers. The prince of historians, Anto- 
 nio Herrera, filled his decades with its wealth, and later writers, Robinson, 
 Prescott, and Helps, have enriched their pages from its stores. 
 
 XIII. His last work was written in 1564, when he was in his ninetieth year; 
 and when repose had been earned by almost a century of labor. But it would 
 seem as if he was constantly impelled by the awful enunciation of Pedro de 
 Cordova, " I charge you as you would escape the pains of hell," — iind once 
 more he armed himself for battle, to rescue his beloved Indians from oppres- 
 sion. This treatise remained in manuscript for two hundred and fifty-eight 
 years, when it was printed by Llorente in 1822, under the t\i\a. Response 
 aux questions qui lui ont ete proposees, sur les affaires da Perou en 1554. It 
 occupies 156 pages of the second volume of the French edition. The editor 
 fixes the date of the Response in 1504, several yeais before the discovery of 
 Peru. It is probable, however, that the error is only typographical. 
 
 Llorente has done but scanty justice to the works of Las Casas. He wholly 
 omits the Principia Qiiidam, and the Rec/las para los Confessores, and 
 seems to have been unaware of their e.xistence. He printed what he styled 
 a translation of the treatise entitled. Question de imperatorii vel regia potes- 
 tate, printed at Frankfort in 1571. ("Essay upon the question whether 
 kings have the right to dispose of their subjects, their cities, and their gov- 
 ernment.") Llorente says in his Notes, " This extremely curious work was 
 not published by the^utlior with his other treati>es in 1552. I have not at- 
 tempted to translate each word and phrase of my author .... Unhappily 
 this celebrated man paid tribute to a bad scholastic taste .... in quoting 
 authors who convince nobody to-day." (" Enfin je publie une traduction libre 
 de Las Casas avec 1' intention de rendre le lecture decet auteur plus support- 
 able pour notre temps.") —Llorente, Vol. II. p. 117. 
 
 In the note to the writings of Las Casas the theory that Las Casas had 
 printed other works is founded upon his enunciation to the council in his 
 dispute with Sepulveda: " Esta materia emos largamente explicudo en mu- 
 chos nuestros tractados que en latin y romance aucmos escritos."^ ("These 
 matters I have more particularly explained in many other treatises, wlach 
 may be found both in Latin and iti Spanish in my writings.") It will be seen 
 that Las Casas says "writings," and several of his works it is said, still re- 
 main only " writings," having never been printed. Several of his treatises 
 also were written some years before the Disputa ; and circulated very exten- 
 sively amono- the learned in manuscript, for several years before they wt^re 
 printed. Such was indeed at that period the usual form of publication. 
 
 Thirteen other treatises are noticed in Mr. Sabin's Dictionary as having been 
 written by Las Casas, which remain in manuscript, or are lost. But a careful 
 examination of the catalogue of tlieir titles, I think would reduce their number 
 to five Numbers 6 and 13 are without doubt identical, as are also probably 
 5-8 and 14 Of No. 4, entitled " Discussion of the Bishop of Chiapa with 
 the Bishop of Darien in 1517," it needs only to be said that there was no 
 Bishop of Chiapas until twenty-six years after that date, and the discussion 
 
220 Indian Bibliography. 
 
 with the wavlike Bishop of Darien, the friend and patron of Balboa, did not 
 take place until 1520. The belief in the existence of treatises 5, 6, and 7, of 
 this list, is founded only upon the relation of Llorente, whose knowledge of 
 Las Casas' works was imperfect, and his statements inexact. Nos. 8 and 12, 
 also, as stated in the list, are believed to be identical. No. 9 is identical 
 with the work noticed in my catalogue as Explicatio Qucestionis Vtrum Reges, 
 etc., printed at Frankfort, 1571. Nos. 10 and 11 were printed by Llorente 
 in his collection, so that there remain unpublished, in all probability, only five 
 of the works of Las Casas. Of these it is certain that the Histonj of the 
 Indies is an original work, but all the others have yet to be identified, aa 
 Las Casas himself produced his works in various forms more or less identi- 
 cal. His writings have been copied with interpolations, abridgments, and 
 paraphrases not only, but two or more of them have been occasionally fused 
 into one. They have been translated into many languages with the greatest 
 license, and for various political designs. In Holland, where the works of 
 Las Casas appeared as Ivarratio Regionem Spregels and Warrhaftigers, with- 
 out number, the genius of De Bry was called into requisition to illustrate 
 them with scenes of frightful atrocity, in order to fire the hearts of the Neth- 
 erlanders with hatred of the Spaniard. In France every war with Spain 
 produced an edition of Mirroir's des Cruautez par Las Casas. The Spanish 
 Armada, and the Falkland Islands' dispute produced popular editions of 
 Tears of the Indians, Accounts of Spanish Cruelties, and Old England Forever, 
 in endless number, and hopeless confusion of the works of the good Bishop. 
 
 His ten printed works have appeared with more than eighty distinct titles, and 
 we have yet to learn whether all that is attributed to him by some titles is au- 
 thentic. A noble work by Mr. Arthur Helps, The Spanish Conquest of Am- 
 erica, of which his Life of Las Casas is an offshoot, does such justice to the 
 labors of the apostle, as learning, genius, and love of goodness may do, in its 
 best. 
 
 The Spaniards have not been unaffected by the terrible denunciations of Las 
 Casas, and more than one treatise has been written for the purpose of soften- 
 ing their severity. One that has fallen under my notice does not by weight 
 of argument, or veracity of testimony, much affect the massive structure of 
 his arraignment. It is printed in Italian and Spanish, the title of which, 
 translated into English, is — 
 
 " Impartial reflections upon the Humanity of the Spaniards in the Indies, in 
 answer to the pretended philosophers and politicians. To explain the His- 
 tories of Messrs. Raynal and liobertson. Written in Italian by the Abbe 
 Don Juan Nuix, and translated with some Notes, by D. Pedro Varela y 
 Ulloa. Small 4° Madrid, 1782." 
 
 More than one writer has attempted to cast a shade on the humanitarian 
 character of Las Casas, by attributing to him the recommendation of the in- 
 troduction of negro slaves into America. The facts regarding this charge 
 are very far from complex, being wonderfully clear and conclusive in his 
 exculpation. Negro slaves had been introduced into Hispaniola some years, 
 when Las Casas, looking about for some means of ameliorating the horrible 
 sufferings of the Indians in the mines, where they were perishinic by thou- 
 sands, suggested that possibly the labor of the hardier negroes might be found 
 available. It was not until he had exhausted every expedient for putting an 
 end to the forced labor of the aborigines, that his despair drove him to this 
 unfortunate conception.

 'The plates are illustrative of the hon-ible cruelties perpetrated by the Span- 
 iards upon the Indians, natives of the countries they conquered ; which Las 
 Casas' Kelations narrate. The frightful tortures to which they subjected 
 the wretched Indians, the awful slaughters of whole tribes, the burnings, the 
 mutilations, the heaped-up masses of disjointed and half-roasted human 
 forms ; the wanton, frantic, and incredible pleasure these monsters seemed 
 to feel' in this work of devils, would almost compel the belief that hell had 
 indeed broken its gates, and poured the torments of the damned upon the 
 earth. The contemplation of these hideous acts of cruelty leaves some sense 
 of gratification in the consideration of a punishment greater than death.

 these editions of the French translation were published with plates. This 
 book is a translation of one of the Spiegels, with the plates engraved by the 
 De Brys for the edition of 1598, Narratio regionem Indicarum, and is the only 
 French edition possessing them. It has been considered as the sequel of a 
 work illustrated by the same engravers, entitled, Tyrannee Espagnole perpe- 
 tres au Pays Bas, although it is entirely independent in subject and pagin- 
 ation. The Hollanders took every pains to render the cruelty of the Span- 
 iards immortally infamous, and the genius of De Bry was exhausted in 
 illustrating their hellish ingenuity of torture. It contains only a portion of 
 the Brevissima Relacion and Carte, rearranged and distorted, with a small 
 fragment of the Cobrapratorio.

 [Kelation of the Voyages and Discoveries made by the Spaniards in the West 
 Indies, written by Don B. de Las Casas Bishop of Chiapas. With the Rela- 
 tain of the Sieur Montauban, Captain of Buccaneers in Guinea, 1695.] 
 
 This is a translation of five of Las Csisas' treatises, entirely different from that 
 of Miggrode, under the title of Tyrannies et Cruates. " The Brevissima Rela- 
 cion '■ occupies pp. 1 to 147. " Lo que se Sigue es un pedaco," pp. 147 to 
 161. " Entre los Remedios," pp. 161 to 196. " Treynta Propositions," 196 
 to 210. "Dispiita con Sepulveda," pp. 211 to 354. The treatises are all 
 much abbreviated, having been printed, as avowed in the Preface, to arouse the 
 Hollanders against the Spaniards. The Relation of Montauban with a sepa- 
 rate title occupies pp. 339 to 402. The work seems to be identical with the 
 two French editions entitled Sistoire des Indies Occidentaks, 1642, and ia 
 Decouverte des Indes Occidentales, 1697. 
 
 Mr. Rich says the translation was made by the Abbe de Bellegarde, whose polite- 
 ness (or perhaps fear of the Spanish influence at the French court), induced him 
 to soften some of the cruel parts, lest they shoiUd give pain to delicate persons.

 under similar animus. 
 
 The first of the English translations of Las Casas' Eelations was printed in 
 Cromwell's Protectorate, 1656, under the title of Tears of the Indians. The 
 present Eelation contains a translation of the "Brevissima Eelacion," pp. 1 
 to 92, the "Treynte Propositiones," "Disputa con Sepulveda," and "Ira- 
 tada de los Remedios," or of such portion of them as the French translator 
 saw fit to print. The latter is said to have politely softened some of the 
 worst features of Las Casas' charges of cruelty. It is worthy of note, how- 
 ever, that while the English editor of Tears of the Indians places their slaugh- 
 ter at twenty millions, the editor of this Eelation doubles the number and 
 calls it forty millions. It is to be hoped that the real number inhumanly 
 tortured and slain has been fictitiously doubled many times, otherwise we 
 should be compelled to believe that the torments of purgatory were too mod- 
 erate for the Spaniards.

 This is a German reprint of the French Tyrannies and Cruautez Espa<inols, or 
 the Narratio regionum Indicarum, of 1598. It has the same engraving; sur- 
 rounding the text of the title, and the seventeen plates two thirds the size of 
 the page printed with the text. They, however, are much less clear than in 
 the other editions. Mr. Sabin says that a copy exists in Mr. J. C. Brown's 
 library with six preliminary leaves but with only a printed title. It will be 
 seen that this possesses the engraved title with but two preliminary leaves, and 
 the catch-words do not indicate any leaves wanting.

 This work, already noticed at number 347, where it was attributed to Colum- 
 bus, has also some claims to attention here, as it owes its existence to Las 
 Casas. 
 
 The original manuscript, in the well-known handwriting of the venerable 
 Bishop, was discovered by Navarrette, near the close of the last century ; but on 
 account of the disturbed condition of Spanish affairs, did not make its ap- 
 pearance in print, until 1825. The title of the two volumes which it filled, 
 was, Coleccion de los Viaqes,y Descubrimientos que hicieron par mar los Espaf/noles 
 desde fines del Siglo XV.. etc. The narrative is an English translation of only 
 a small portion of the Spanish work. The Manuscript of Las Casas, from 
 which these volumes were printed, is evidently itself an abridgment of the 
 original journal of Columbus, made by the Bishop to aid him in writing his 
 History of the Indies. The portions of the work written by Las Casas, are 
 distinguished by speaking of Columbus as the Admiral, while the journal of 
 the latter is in the first person.

 and doubtless entire veracity regarding the Indians of Korth Carolina, at a 
 very interesting period of their existence. Lawson was a land surveyor in 
 the employment of the government, and was the unhappy cause of the exile 
 of the Tuscarora tribe to New York, and its consequent incorporation into 
 the Iroquois Confederacy, by which its name was changed to the Six Nations. 
 As the surveyor was the precursor of the settler, who seized upon and occu- 
 
 Sied the lands of the savages, he was always the especial ohject of their 
 etestation. A great conspiracy, it Is asserted by Dr. Hawks, had been 
 previously organized, but whether true or false, Lawson was the first victim 
 of the Indian vengeance. Accompanied by Baron Graffenried in September, 
 1811, the surveyor-general was ascending the Neuse Kiver in a boat, when 
 he was seized by the Indians a few miles above Newbern. After some hours 
 of captivity, the Indian council determined to put him to the cruel death of 
 burning at the stake. All the appalling tortures, which savage ingenuity 
 could invent, were exhausted on this unfortunate man, and the author of the 
 first history of the Carolinas, perished at the hands of the savages, whose 
 humanity he had in its pages so highly commended. The massacre at Bath, 
 in which one hundred and thirty poor Huguenots perished under the hands 
 of 1200 Tuscaroras, followed in a few days. The war which succeeded proved 
 so disastrous to them that the Tuscaroras abandoned their native soil, and 
 fled to New York. Neither of the first three editions of Lawson's work is 
 often found complete with the map, and animal plate.

 It has the air of veracity with that want of authenticity which attaches to 
 fiction. The writer had some acquaintance certainly with the peculiar habits 
 of American savages, but whetlicr the result of personal experience, or 
 derived from others, and where the boundary line is to be drawn between 
 the incidents of intercourse with them, and the oflspring of his imagination, 
 we are left without any guide to determine. 
 
 His narrative has, it is fair to say, been deemed by good scholars a veracious 
 history, and this is not improbable, for in the eccentric whims of the writers 
 of veritable statements, there have not been wanting some who have at- 
 tempted to make their true history look like fiction.

 Father Le Clercq has left a remarkable record of the labors of his brethren 
 the Recollects, in converting the Pagan tribe of Gaspesien Indians. He not 
 only recorded the results of his own missionary life among the savages in- 
 habiting the sliores of the St. Lawrence, but ho has left us wliat has always 
 been considered, an authentic account of their peculiar traits of character, 
 religious rites, and mode of lite, before these had been modified by contact 
 with civilization. Two subjects, gr rather the manner in which they were 
 treated, have notwithstanding the general respect for his ability, and truth- 
 fulness, caused some hesitation in scholars to fully trust his judgment. 
 Having found among some of their nation, the cross worn on their garments, 
 and occasionally carried in their hands, he somewhat credulously adopted 
 
Indian Bihliography. 231 
 
 meir traditions, that its woi'ship was of very ancient origin with them. 
 Father Le Clercq himself was half inclined to believe, that the worship of the 
 sacred emblem came to them through the preaching of St. Thomas. This 
 simplicity of the excellent missionary, ought by no means to weigh against 
 his fidelity as a historian. The second ground of criticism is of a different 
 character, somewhat more important, but does not affect the Relation of the 
 Gaspesiens. 
 
 Le Clercq was a most zealous Recollect missionary, who having spent five 
 years in the dreary country of the Gaspesiens, both of his Relations would 
 have merited the highest credit, if the last of them, entitled EtaUissement de 
 la toy. did not contain so many satirical reflections upon the labors of his 
 brethren of the Jesuit order, who were equally zealous in the labor of Chris- 
 tianizing the savages. It is impossible to account for the misrepresentations 
 found in his work by attributing them to jealousy, as he lived in the most 
 cordial and friendly relations with them, especially with Father Bigot. The 
 most plausible solution of the enigma must be sought for in the political 
 relations of the two orders to the vicci-oyal government. The Bishop Laval, 
 observing the terrible destruction and suffering caused by the sale of ardent 
 spirits to the Indians, denounced the traSBc, with the ecclesiastical penalties 
 of the Church attaching to the offense. The Jesuit missionaries, who saw 
 their flocks wasting under the ravages of the infernal beverage, strongly 
 supported him. The community of fur-traders which almost wholly com- 
 posed the colonies of New France, became desperate with rage, and as the 
 missionaries and priests of the order of Recollects were not so rigid in their 
 spiritual demands, the war assumed presently a sectarian coloring. Fron- 
 tenac, the Governor, had also a cause of pique against the order, as the Jesuit 
 missionaries had strongly opposed his fovorite project of domiciliating the 
 Indians in the white settlements, and entirely breaking up their tribal and 
 village organizations. The Recollects, on the contrary, found favor with the 
 Governor by espousing his impracticable theory. Sometime before this 
 period, the missionaries of this order had been recalled to France, and the 
 Jesuits placed in charge of all the mission establishments. Under the in- 
 
 ■ fluence of Frontenac, the Recollects were now restored to favor, and the 
 .Jesuits placed under the ban. The Recollect missionaries are by no means 
 to be charged with complicity, in bringing the controversy to this climax, but 
 they were involved in it by a difference of opinion with their brethren of the 
 other order. Father Le Clercq, and Father Charlevoix, as the representatives 
 of the two orders, felt and expressed the bias of their respective interests in 
 their histories of New France and their Missions. Made antagonistic by the 
 relations of their societies to the government, they each belittle the labors 
 and the discoveries of the society to which the other belonged. Charlevoix 
 makes light of Father Sagard's Huron Dictionary, and doubts the authen- 
 ticity of Hennepin's discoveries, because they were of the order of Recollects, 
 and'Le Clercq, in his EtaUissement de la Foi, derides the claim of the Jesuits 
 to extensive reclamation of savage tribes, or important discoveries. From 
 what we know of the character of Father Le Clercq, we must conclude that 
 the satirical portion of his work was by another hand. Mr. Shea, from 
 whose work most of this detail of the " wars of the orders " is taken, says that 
 Le Clercq's Relation of the Gaspesie is a descn'ption of his own field and his 
 own labors ; and the EtaUissement de la Foi, is a well written history of the 
 Recollect missions and La Salle's voyages. In an historical point of view, 
 its fidelity to the documents upon which it professes to be founded, has 
 never been questioned. It is then only when the writers on the history of 
 New France speak of the work of other orders that we must read with cau- 
 tion. 
 
 According to Charlevoix, the Etahlissement de la Foy was partly the work of 
 Count Frontenac, then Governor of Canada. The great work of that his- 
 torian has caused this important one to be forgotten. There is a curious 
 bibliographical fact in the history of this work, which was brought to notice 
 by Mr. Lenox in the Historical Magazine of January, 1858. The work

 issued under this title in 1691, was, he says, strictly suppressed. In the fol- 
 lowing year it appeared without the author's name, under the title of Histaire

 Sous la conduite dufeu M. de la Salle. Paris et Lyon, Chez Thomas Amauroy, 
 1692. Two vols. 12° "Vol. I. pp. 559. Vol. II. pp. 458. It will be seen 
 that the volumes of each edition agree in the numbered pages, and that in 
 the second the name of the author is suppressed. The first edition was dedi- 
 cated to Count Frontenac, and this may have had something of an influence 
 in its suppression. The conflict of authorities upon the early history of the 
 French Colonies, has been so puzzlinir, that historians and scholars have 
 summarily rid themselves of trouble hitherto, by adopting one narrator and 
 rejecting all whom he derides. It seems to me that this is not logically 
 tenable ground. When Joutel contradicts Le Clercq's EtaUissement, and 
 Hennepin asserts that it was really written by Father Valentine la Roux ; 
 when Le CJercq doubts the authenticity of the Relation of Lalemaut ; and 
 when Charlevoix says the Count Frontenac was the real author of a portion 
 of Le Clercq's EtaUissement de la Foy, we must conclude these charges, and 
 counter-charges, as attributable to the weaknesses of human jealousy, belittling 
 the strength of these good men, but not invalidating the truth of their positive 
 statements.

 This narrative of a captivity of three years among the Camanches, is accred- 
 ited by the testimony of well known citizens of Albany, and other places in 
 New York. They vouch for the veracity of the author, and accord to his 
 statements their own credence. The appalling and monstrous cruelties of 
 this untamable nation of nomads, reconciles us somewhat to their rapid 
 extinction. Unlike the savages of the Algonquin and Iroquois races, who 
 invariably respected the chastity of their female prisoners, the savages of the 
 southern plains ravish and torture them, with the combined fury of lust and 
 bloodthirst.

 The details of this frightful massacre by the Indians under Montcalm, are 
 given by an eye-witness, and go far to prove him innocent of conniving at it. 
 The principal portion of this defense is a journal of the events of tlie siege, 
 surrender, and massacre, written by a French missionary. It may be found 
 in the Lettres Edifiante, Vol. VL A translation of this journal was 
 made by Father Kip, and printed in Part II. of his Early Jesuit Missions in 
 America, where it is attributed to Father Roubaud, Abnaquis missionary. 
 It is an almost perfect exculpation of Montcalm, from the charge of horrible 
 
Indian Bibliocfraphy. 283 
 
 crueltj, of which he had been found guilty hy historians, without trial or 
 examination of the evidence. The slaughter is amply proven, by the evi- 
 dence adduced in this little volume, to have been the result of one of those 
 sudden and overwhelming phrensies for blood, to which the savages of all 
 nations are predisposed in battle.

 This is Le Page du Pratz's work as it issued from the hands of the author. 
 The English translator, with an assurance which is perfectly satire proof, 
 not only abridges the work, but reconstructs and distorts it, and then calls 
 upon us to admire his dexterity in subverting the labor and plan of the 
 author. The work teems with facts and particulars relating to the Natchez 
 and other tribes of Louisiana, 
 le Page du Pratz resided in Louisiana fifteen years, and it is from his relation 
 that most of the details of the life of the Natchez and other Mississippi tribes 
 have been derived. Later historians have largely availed themselves of his 
 roateriiils. It is difficult to procure his work complete in all the plates and 
 maps, which should number forty-two.

 The long preface is the work of the English editor, who informs us that be- 
 cause the author descends to trifles, he " has left out many things that ap- 
 peared to be trifling, and abridged some parts of it." It will also be perceived, 
 on comparison of the titles, that he has even constructed one for the work to 
 suit himself. All of Book I., Chapter v., p. 21, to Chapter xiv. p. 117, is 
 devoted to " The author's residence among the Natchez Indians ; " Their wars 
 with the French and Spaniards ; " The Massacre of the French by that nation, 
 and its extirpation ; " " Tlie War with the Chitimachas," and " The War with 
 the Chicasaws." The English editor has combined in Books II. and III., with 
 the journal of the author's tour through the northern parts of Louisiana, his 
 own worthless lucubrations, and scraps from Charlevoix and Dnmont. Book 
 IV., pp. 291 to 387, is divided into chapters with the following headings : 
 " Origin of the Americans (Indians) ; " "An Account of the Several Nations 
 (of Indians) East of the Miss. ; " " An Account of those West of the Miss. ; " 
 " A Description of the Natives of La., their Manners, etc — those of the Nat-

 lected from the works of Jean de Lery]. 
 
 The author sailed for Brazil in 1563, and after a residence of nearly eighteen 
 years returned to Prance, and from his journals and writings composed this 
 book. It has a high value as a historical work, being the results of a long 
 experience among the .savages of South America, In a bibliographical 
 view it is also not without merit, as it is uncommon, and brings a not 
 inconsiderable price when offered for sale. The greater portion of the work 
 is composed of observations upon the peculiarities of the Indians. 
 
 Chapter vii. is entitled, " On the Nature, Power, Stature and Nudity of 
 the Indians," Chap, viii., Of the roots and grain which the Indians eat in 
 lieu of bread." Chap, xiv., " Of the Wars, battles, hai-dihood, and amies of 
 the Savao-es." Chap, xv., "How the Indians treat their prisoners, their 
 Cruelties and Cannibalism." Chap, xvi., " Of their Religion, or what they

 term Religion." Chap, xvii., " Of their Marriages and Polygamy and 
 degree of Consanguinity." Chap, xviii., "Of what the Savages term their 
 laws and police." Chap, xix., " How the Indians treat their diseases." 
 Chap. XX., " Dialogue in French and the Indian language iTowpinoukin." 
 These subjects occupy all the space from pages 100 to 140, and from 207 to 
 379. The colloquy in the Indian and French language, and the accompany- 
 ing Vocabulary, fill pages 347 to 379. The plates are all illustrative of 
 savage life and manners. The folding plate represents the combat of the 
 Ton-ou-pin-am-boault savages with the Margais Indians, which in most 
 copies is lost. The work was translated into Latin and printed in the fol- 
 lowing year, and this translation was used by De Bry as a portion of 
 Part III. of his Grand Voyages, illustrated by eleven plates.

 This edition, as well as those of 1609 and 1611, is usually accompanied by 
 another work, entitled Les Muses de la Nouvelle France, which is nothing 
 more than a collection of poems by the same author separately paged. 
 
 This edition of Lescarbot's rare work on the History of New France, differs 
 greatly from both the former. It has 139 pages more than that of 1609, 
 with a \&i'y large addition of matter, and the arrangement much altered. 
 The edition of 1611 has four less preliminary pages, and 94 pages loss 
 of text, than that of 1618; while Les ifuses occupy the same number in 
 each. The form and size of all the French editions is the same, 12° or small 
 8°. That of 1 609 is thought to be complete with only two maps; tho.'ie 'of 
 1611 and 1618 are only complete when containing four. The last received 
 the final touches of Lescarbot's hand, and may therefore be well considered 
 the most desirable of all. One copy at least has been announced with the 
 date of 1617 on the title, but it is declared to be identical with this, which 
 the publisher asserts to be the third edition. All of the French editions, as 
 well as the translation of a part of that of 1609 into English by Erou

 delle, are very rare. A copy of the French of 1609, from the library of Bol- 
 ton Corney, sold in 1871 for £27, and in the same collection a copy of Eron- 
 delle s translation sold for £31. A copy of the edition of 1618, without the 
 SiT'r J" Lecleroq's collection, in 1817 sold for 251 francs; equal to 
 f 100 ot the currency of the day. 
 
 Lescarbot's history is highly esteemed not only for its great yeracity, but as 
 tne work of a candid and intelligent writer, and the first history of the 
 iirench settlements m Canada. Charlevoix's praise of him is flavored with 
 a little of his characteristic acidity. " Marc Lescarbot, advocate in the Parlia- 
 ment of Pans, was a man of sense and learning, but a little addicted to the 
 marvelous. The good father, however, subsequently neutralises the sharp- 
 ness of his criticism by saying, " Lescarbot has collected with much care all 
 tiiat had been written before him, relating to the discoveries of the French in 
 America, all that passed in French Florida, etc. —He was sincere, well edu- 
 cated, and impartial." His descriptions of Indian Life and peculiarities are 
 very interesting, an account both of their fidelity, and from being among 
 the first authentic relations, we have of them after Cartier. Lescarbot 
 wrote two other works relating to Canada ; copies of which are still rarer 
 than either edition of his Eistoire de la Nouvelle France. The first is 
 CTtitled, La conversion des Sauvages qui out &€ baptistes dans la Nouvelle 
 France cette anne 1610, avec a brief recit du Sieur Poutrincourt. The other

 Of the preliminary pages the "Title" forms 1; reverse blank. "To the 
 bright Starre of the North," signed P. Erondelle, 2 pages. " To the Reader," 2 
 pages. " The Table of the Contents," 12 pages, all unnumbered. The text 
 is divided into Two Booke's of xviii. and xxvi. chapters respectively. In 
 the Table of Contents the First Booke is entitled, " Wherein are described the 
 three late Voiages, Nauigations and Plantation of New France, etc; pages 
 1 to 136. " The Second Booke, Containing the Custoraes and maners of 
 life of the "West Indians of New France, etc.," Preface, pages 133 and 138 ; 
 text 139 to 307. From the correspondence of the letters P E on the 
 title with the initials of the name signed to the dedication, this translation 
 of a portion of Lescarbot's work has been generally attributed to P Eron- 
 delle. He expressly avows in his Preface that : " The whole volume of the 
 navigations of the French nation into the West Indies (comprised in three 
 . bookes) was brought to mee, to be translated by M. Richard Hakluyt, * * 
 and by him this part was selected from the whole work, to the end, that 
 comparing the goodnesse of the lands with that of Virginia, etc." 
 "Which translation is but a part of a greater volume." It thus appears 
 that the Histoire de la Nouvelle France was ignominiously devoted to an 
 advertising scheme, for selling the lands in Virginia, distant more than 
 seven hundred miles. Nor was it suiBcient to rob Lescarbot of hard-earned 
 
238 Indian Bibliography . 
 
 fame, by utterly ignoring his authorship of the work, but it was greatly 
 abridged ; not however past recognition, for the pi'eservation by the transla- 
 tor, of the divisions of the original, is almost exact. 
 Erondelle's book is a very faithful translation of the Fourth and Sixth Books 
 of Lescarbot's History, with the same number of chapters in the first, and 
 twenty-six instead of twenty-five chapters in the second, the third chapter 
 of the original being divided into chapters iii. and iiii. It contains there- 
 fore a trifle less than half of the matter of the work, and it is but justice to 
 add, much the best portion. So exact is Erondelle's reproduction of the 
 original in English, that he has retained almost every word of the elaborate 
 chapter headings. It is to be regretted that the honesty he evinced in trans- 
 lation, did not survive that labor long enough to place the author's name ou 
 the title-page.

 Small W. Paris, Librairie Tross, 1866. 917 
 
 This edition purports to be a reproduction of the second, which was printed in 
 1611, and which indeed he announces as the second in his biographical sketch 
 of Lescarbot. Notwithstanding this, his reproduction of the title-page gives 
 the date of 1612 (Chez Jean Milot, m.dc.xii.). Each volume contains one 
 half and three full titles. The pagination of the text of the " Histoire " ie 
 continuous through the three volumes^ pp. 851. Bars in the text indicate 
 the termination of the pages of the original, and figures in the margin 
 their corresponding number. Vol. I. has (viii.)-f-xx. preliminary pages. In 
 Vol. III. the " Sommi^re des Chapitres " occupies pp. xxviii. ; " Les Muses 
 de la Nouvelle France," pp. 84. 
 
 Mr. Tross gives us but a meagre sketch of the life of Lescarbot, in which he 
 guesses at the period of his birth and death. The bibliographical account of 
 his works is quite as carelessly drawn, for he omits in his list of editions 
 and woi-ks, that of Erondelle, London, 1609, Le Conversion des Sauvnges, of 
 Pai-is, 1610, and the Relation du Voyage du Sieur de Poutn'ncourt, Paris, 1612. 
 The publisher has reproduced, with very creditable exactness, the four maps, 
 as belonging to the edition of 1611. 
 
 The works of Lescarbot are more numerous than seems to have been sus- 
 pected by bibliographers.

 Vols. V. to VIII. are filled with Relations, Narratives and Letters from Jesuit 
 Missionaries, written subsequently to the celebrated and rare Relations of the 
 Jesuit Missionaries of Canada to their superiors. They are undoubtedly 
 among the most authentic sources of information, regarding some of the most 
 obscure and mysterious of aboriginal customs, languages, and religions. Vol. 
 V. is principally occupied with the Relations of the Missionaries among the 
 Indians of Paraguay and Brazil. Vol. VI. contains the Relations of the 
 Indian Missions in Canada, and among the Abenakis. The letters regarding 
 the latter are wi-itten by the celebrated Father Rasles, who fell a martyr to 
 his zeal for his flock at Norridgewock. The most important historic portion 
 of this volume, perhaps of the whole collection, is the Journal of an Abenakis 
 missionary who was present at the massacre, by the Indians, of the English 
 garrison of Fort George, after it had surrendered. In this series the name 
 of the Father who wrote it is not given, but Father Kip, in his book Early 
 Jesuit Missions in Amei'ica, says the author was Father Roubaud. The facts, 
 as narrated by this very credible witness, certainly exculpate the heroic 
 Montcalm from the t.aint of cruelty. Vol. VII. is composed of Letters and 
 Relations of the mission.arics among the Natchez, the Illinois, the Indians of 
 Saint Domingo, and of Guiana. A curious identification of the name of the 
 city of Chicago, is found in the letter of Father Petit, pp. 1 to 60, which 
 gives minute details of the visit of the Illinois chief Chicaugou to the mis- 
 sion. This chief had visited Paris, and become somewhat noted, and doubt- 
 less it was from him that the name of that once opulent city is derived. Vol.

 This work is nearly an exact copy of the original government publication, of 
 Lewis and Clarke's report of their expedition, without addition or interpola- 
 tion. It is one of a series of travels published by Sir Richard Philips, book- 
 seller and baronet, who is the only example I recollect of that combination 
 of trade and title.

 " As far as relates to Lewis and Clarke's travels, this work is not what it pre- 
 tends to be, for it contains no further account of them than was given in the 
 ofiBcial communication of Meriwether Lewis, with the addition of some pri- 
 vate letters from Captain Clarke." In other respects it possesses mucli in- 
 terest, as it contains some documents not published in any other edition. 
 Among; them are a description of the manners and customs of the Missouri 
 Indians ; a statistical view of the Northwestern tribes ; historical sketches 
 of the several Indian tribes of Louisiana ; observations on the voyage of 
 William Dunbar and Dr. Hunter extracted from their journals, and a 
 vocabulary of the languages of some of the tribes of Indians.

 Philadelphia, 1814. ' 928 
 
 This work was commenced by Capiain Lewis himself, who was on his route 
 to Philadelphia to engage in its completion, when the derangement seized 
 him, under the influence of which he committed suicide at St. Louis. It 
 was then undertaken by Mr. Nicolas Biddle, who in conjunction with Cap- 
 tain Clarke, arranged the numerous notes, and copious diaries and journals, 
 kept by each of the principal explorers, and enlarged the skeleton of many 
 incidents from the recollections of the survivor. To this mass of authentic 
 material was added such additional particulars as were noted in the journals 
 of Gass and another sergeant, — that of the last still unpublished, and said to 
 be the most minute and valuable. Another intelligent member of the ex- 
 pedition, Mr. George Shannon, also contributed some material to confirm or 
 correct the details already acquired. At this stage of the growth of the " His- 
 tory " of the expedition, Mr. Biddle from caprice, or business abstraction, 
 abandoned its du«ction, when his literary structure was nearly or quite com- 
 plete. It was thus left to the editor, (whom popular esteem has credited 
 with the labor of forming the work,) only to obtain a sketch of the life of 
 Captain Lewis from President Jefferson, and to place his name on the title- 
 page. All of this he states in the Preface, but neglects to name the indus- 
 trious and judicious editor who wrought his work ready to his hand ; yet 
 emblazons his own name in the place of honor on the title. 
 Mr. Samuel G. Drake says that he was informed by Mr. Nicholas Biddle that 
 he was himself the editor who is referred to in the preface, as having nearly 
 completed the work for the press. This is by far the most complete edition

 of this interesting work, whose value to the historian,, the student, or the 
 reader for amusement, has in no degree been superseded by the numerous 
 relations of expeditions which have succeeded it. The explorers even an- 
 ticipated our interest in the remains of aboriginal fortifications, by half a 
 century; and constructed accurate plans of such as they discovered, even 
 then disappearing, and scarcely traceable. This edition contains the Appen- 
 dix of sixty-four pages, omitted in the English edition of three volumes.

 This is the most beautiful in typography and mechanical execution of all 
 the editions of Lewis and Clarke's work. Its large margin, clear impression, 
 and noble appearance, are worthy of this model of works of travel and ex- 
 ploration. The edition in three octavo volumes printed in the succeeding 
 year by the same house, is an exact reprint of this. How large a portion of 
 the work is devoted to Indian affairs may be ascertained by the headings of 
 chapters : ii. " Some Account of the Pawnee Indians ; " iii. " Superstition of 
 the Sioux, and Council with the Sioux Indians ; " iv. " Council with the 
 Tetons, Their Manners, &c. ; " v. " Council mth the Mandans ; " vi. " The 
 Party increase in favor with the Mandans — Description of their Ceremonies ; " 
 vii. " Indian mode of attacking the Buffalo on the ice ; " xiv. " Interview with 
 the Shoshonies ; " xv. " Council with that Nation." Nineteen of the remain- 
 ing twenty-one chapters are devoted to the narration of the peculiarities of 
 the savage nations which were encountered.

 This edition, announced as prepared for the press by Thomas Rees, is an ex- 
 act reproduction of that really edited by Mr. Biddle, but formally claimed 
 by Paul Allen, and published at Philadelphia in two volumes. Thus one 
 literary brother robs another. The London edition, however, lacks the Ap- 
 pendix of " Observations on the Government of the Indians," by Captain 
 Lewis, which with meteorological tables occupies sixty-four pages. 
 
 Another edition of Biddle's history of Lewis and Clarke's expedition was 
 printed in Dublin, under the same title as the London edition of three vol- 
 umes, from which it was copied with the addition on the title-page of, —

 The usual addenda to this title in the Catalogues is, " The author exhibits 
 pictures of Indian manners, Wliich, though mournful, and disgusting to taste, 
 are yet interesting to philosophy, in conjunction with his accounts of the 
 settlers before whom the Indian tribes are gradually vanishing from the earth. 
 The striking contrasts of savage life to the hackneyed phases of the society 
 of Europe, forcibly impressed the mind and attracted the curiosity of this 
 exiled Frenchman." With this comment it would be supposed, that the 
 work is largely composed of his observations of the peculiarities of the In- 
 dian tribes he visited, as well as narratives of adventures among them, copiet 
 from printed works. But the whole of his so-much vaunted relations of 
 aboriginal life in America, are found in Vol. I., pages 312 to 332, where th< 
 author describes the condition of the Senecas and other Indians in the vicin 
 ity of Buffalo, and on pages 339 to 379, where he gives the narrative of 
 the captivity of Mr. Johnson by the Shawnese in 1794, as dictated to the 
 Duke by the captive himself, with a few occasional observations on other 
 ti'ibes.

 In all of Major Long's explorations, the natives of the territories through 
 which he passed received the largest share of his attention. This will be evi-

 The work is almost a cyclopaedia of material, relating to the Indians of the 
 explored territory. Nothing escaped the attention, or record of the gentlemen 
 who accompanied the expedition ; and their statement regarding the customs, 
 character, and numbers of the Sioux and Chippeway tribes, are among the 
 most valuable we have of those people. Much the largest portion of the 
 volumes is devoted to recording their observations upon these Indians. Six 
 of the plates are representations of their practices, habitations, or features. 
 Pages 449 to 459 of Volume II. are occupied with a comparative vocabulary 
 of the Sawk, Sioux, Chippeway, and Cree languages.

 Part I. is divided into eleven chapters, whose subject titles indicate a much 
 wider range for the work, than the mere report of missions among the Indians. 
 Among them are, " Hints concerning the Origin of the Indian Nations." — 
 " Of the Language, Arts, and Sciences, known among the Indians." " Of 
 
248 Indian Bibliography. 
 
 their Religious Ceremonies and Superstition." " Of their Dress, Dwellings, 
 and Housekeeping." "Marriages and Education of Children." Agri- 
 culture and Breeding of Cattle." " Of their Manner of Hunting and 
 Fishing." " Diseases and Method of Cure, Funerals and Mourning." 
 " Political Constitution of the Delawares and Iroquois." " Indian Manner 
 of making War and Peace." Parts II. and III. are devoted to the history 
 of the Indians nnder the charge of the Moravian Mission. Among the sub- 
 jects, is the narrative of that saddest of stories, the massacre of Gnadenhut- 
 ten and Salem, — saddest, most atrocious, most damnable i ecord of human 
 infamy and bloody shame. 
 A remarkable omission occurs in La Trobe's translation. A copy of the 
 first edition had been presented to Zeisberger, who expressed the greatest 
 regrets that the names of Eliot McKee, and other former enemies of the mis- 
 sion had been recorded, as they had since repented. At his request the names 
 of many who had brought terrible misfortunes upon the missionaries and 
 their converts, were omitted in this translation.

 This rarest of books on American history has some bibliographical peculiari- 
 ties, which that very rarity has hitherto prevented the recognition of. A 
 large correspondence with book collectors, and not a little familiarity with 
 the best of public and private libraries, have brought to my notice but three 
 perfect copies of this work. The popularity of its subject, which caused its 
 constant perusal at country firesides, combined with the fragility of the soft 
 cotton paper upon which it is printed, insured its rapid destruction. 
 
 It will be observed that in Vol. I. there is an apparent omission of four pages 
 in those numbered in Arabic figures, as the preliminary pages end with twelve 
 and the narrative begins with five. The second volume has also some pecu- 
 liarities not a little perplexing to the collator. It is dated three years later 
 than the first volume, and the word " Whitehall " is omitted in the title. 
 
 From the Roman numbered page iv. to the Arabic numbered page 13, of 
 
Indian Bibliography. 24^9 
 
 Volume II., there is an apparent hiatus of eight pages, and all the copies of 
 both volumes would appear to be imperfect. This omission of eight num- 
 bers is doubtless to be accounted for as follows : The narrative portion of 
 Volume I. was as usual printed before the Title, Preface, and Table of Con- 
 tents. The printer provided for only a form of four pages to contain them, 
 and therefore commenced tlio narrative with page 5. On niakiuH' up the 
 volume, Loudon found a necessity Cor more room, and let the preliminary 
 matter run on to page xii. Wlien, however, the second volume was printed, 
 the compositor flattered himself that he was too adroit to be caught in a 
 similar blunder, and accordingly commenced the narrative with page 13, 
 without reflecting that the second volume would require neither Preface or 
 Introduction. On making up the form, containing the Title and Table of 
 Contents, it was found that only four pages could be used, and in consequence 
 there is a hiatus of eight pages {in numbers onhj). Other irregularities of less 
 importance occur in this volume. Signature E ends with page 72. Signa- 
 ture G commences with page 85. The intervening twelve pages are there- 
 fore also signed E. This has led to the omission of this signature in some 
 copies, by the carelessness of the folder, and for this reason, perhaps, few 
 were ever perfect. The reverse of page 161, is numbered erroneously 134, in 
 place of 162. The next page is numbered 164 erroneously instead of 163, 
 and the error is continued to page 169, which is followed by another 169, 
 thus restoring the correct enumeration, so that the true account of the num- 
 ber of pages is at last represented by the figures. At page 216 the mischiev- 
 ous demon which presides over types, again destroyed the consecutiveness of 
 the numbers, by printing the succeeding page 215. The next page is also 
 numbered 216, thus presenting us with two pages 216, and two pages 215. 
 The omission which this originated, of dropping two pages in the notation, is 
 perpetuated through the whole volume, so that there would really be two 
 more pages than are indicated by the numbers, were it not for the first error 
 of numbering, in putting 13 at the top of the page immediately following 
 page iv. Allowing for this, there are therefore six pages less in Vol. II. than 
 the notation represents. . . . 
 
 But there are other complications attending the work, which will embarrass 
 the bibliographer. Indeed, it would seem as if the spirit of mischance had 
 rioted in schemes of perplexity, to confound everything associated with it. 
 Where is Carlisle and Whitehain And who was Archibald Loudon ■? White- 
 hall in New York at the foot of Lake Champlain has its Carlisle in a secluded 
 hamlet a few miles distant ; and Carlisle in Pennsylvania has its Whitehall, 
 not much more populous or distant. This question happily can be disposed 
 of very readily, as Archibald Loudon printed a book of poems unknown to 
 fame, " By Isabella Oliver of Cumberland Co. Pennsylvania, Carlisle, From 
 the Press of A. Loudon, Whitehall, 1805." So Archibald Loudon, printer, 
 publisher, and author, resided at Whitehall in Pennsylvania, and printed his 
 book at Carlisle in the same State. The author-printer also published a 
 volume of miscellanies, an octavo serial. He is believed to have been a de- 
 scendant of the Samuel Loudon, whose printing-oflSce was sacked, and his 
 type thrown into the East River, by the Revolutionary mob under Chris.

 The learned author of this treatise on the languages of the American In-

 been preserved, not only by his refined taste and scholarship exhibited in his 
 works, but the remembrance of his warm and generous nature, and tireless 
 zeal in literature and science. He died in December 1856, when only 156 pages

 Almost the entire volume is devoted to the narration of the peculiarities of the 
 Aborigines of the Arctic regions. Captain Lyon's curiosity led him to ob- 
 serve vfith great attention, the habits of life, and traits of character of the 
 diflferent tribes of Esquimaux, which his humanity, and good management 
 attracted to his winter quarters. They built their villages near his ships, 
 and permitted a closer familiarity, than any other of the Arctic voyagers was 
 able to attain. His narrative, therefore, abounds with incidents of their inter- 
 course, and curious anecdotes of Esquimaux life.

 This is an entirely distinct work from the private journal of Captain Lyon, 
 being in fact his o'fficial report. The work contains some material regarding 
 his intercourse with the Esquimaux, not repeated in the Journal ; and of the

 of an unknown tribe, on page 376. Both parts of the work of this intrepid 
 traveller, are filled with accounts of the tribes of Indians, who inhabited 
 the regions traversed by him three quarters of a century ago. No writer 
 upon the subject of Indian customs and peculiarities, has given us a more 
 minute, careful and interesting relation of them, as indeed none were bet- 
 ter fitted to do, by long experience among them as a fur trader. His inves- 
 tigations, although pursued at so early a period of Arctic exploration, were 
 remarkable for their accuracy ; Sir John Franklin more than once express- 
 ing his surprise at being able to corroborate their correctness in his own 
 explorations.

 The author of this volume adopted a plan for narrating his reminiscences, 
 which has something more than novelty to commend it to our attention. He 
 selected some prominent character among the pioneers, and while sketch- 
 ing a biographical portrait, fills all the spare canvass with those agreeable 
 pictures of border life with which his subject was associated. His biogra^ 
 phies ai'e ci-owded with the most interesting incidents of Indian warfare, 
 and other scenes in aboriginal life. Of the seven persons whose lives are 
 commemorated in this volume, four were Indian fighters, the narration of 
 whose exploits fill the first three hundred pages.

 Although the title indicates the intention to bring the history down to the 
 date of publication, the narrative is suspended with the declaration of peace 
 in 1783. Both volumes are largely devoted to the history of the border 
 warfare with the Creeks and Cherokees. Numerous incidents relating to the 
 savages of these nations, and their sanguinary attacks upon the fl'ontiers, 
 with sketches of their chiefs, and of the loyalist refugees who led them, are 
 narrated. These were derived in many instances directly from the lips of 
 some of the survivors of these bloody scenes, from manuscripts, or from printed 
 documents, no longer accessible to the student of history.

 Mr. McCormick's speech is a document of more interest and value than many 
 more lengthy treatises. 
 
 It is the testimony of an intelligent gentleman, who had spent several years 
 near the haunts of the Apaches, and knew personally of the matters of which 
 he spoke. His relations of their atrocities, and the attempts to subdue them, 
 confirm the prevalent belief, that they are the only untamable savages of the 
 continent. The wild and fierce Camanches, as well as the degraded and 
 cowardly Digger Indian tribes, have succumbed to the strong hand of civil- 
 ized warfare, while the Apache alone defies it. Mr. McCormick enumerates 
 one hundred and fifty-four citizens who had been massacred within four 
 years, out of a population of little more than ten times that number, in 
 Tucson alone.

 Washington and Neio York, 1840. 982 
 
 The author resided more than twenty years among the Ottawas, Pottawat- 
 omies, and Miamis as a missionary. During this period, ho Icept a jour- 
 nal of events and incidents of Indian life, which with his letters and re- 
 ports, formed a great mass of material from which to form his history. It 
 IS largely composed of the records of personal experience ; but is far from 
 being a mere missionary report of religious progress. It is in fact the work 
 of a highly intelligent man, who recorded with the judgment of a historian, 
 while he labored with the zeal of an ecclesiastic ; and the result of his early 
 philosophical observations has been, to give us a very valuable record of the 
 characteristic traits of the Indian tribes he lived among. The first forty 
 pages are occupied with remarks on the origin of the Indian tribes. The 
 awfully rapid destruction of the aboriginal race, by contact with the whites ; 
 the murders, the debauchery, and superstition of the Indians, as well as 
 their nobler traits, receive a large share of the author's attention.

 Much the largest portion of these volumes, is devoted to the narration of inci- 
 dents of travel among the Indians of the territory ; descriptions of the life, 
 habits, and character of the different tribes inhabiting it, and the relations 
 of the Hudson's Bay Company to them. All of the statements of the author 
 confirm the most authentic accounts of others, and some of them have the 
 novelty which the experience of a quarter of a century must afford to an 
 author The last volume terminates with a vocabulary of Indian dialects, 
 occupying the last six pages. Besides the relation of personal adventures 
 among the Indians, the author has narrated the circumstances connected 
 with some of those appalling massacres, by which the employees of the Hud- 
 son's Bay Co., at several of their lone posts, have been swept off. 
 He believes in the American origin of syphilis, but without offering mnch 
 argument that will convince others. One statement, for the truth of which 
 he is sufficient authority, is very interesting to ethnologists, — that he could 
 make himself sufficiently understood, for business purposes, to all the tribes 
 i^-om Labrador, to Columbia on the Pacific, by speaking the Abnaquis dia- 
 lect.

 The author of this historj' passed a number of years in Brazil, returned to 
 his own country, established a school near Douro, and wrote this history, 
 which was first published in 1572. These principal events in his life, estab- 
 lished sufficiently his ability to perform well the task, the results of which 
 he offers us. His work would, however, have received but little if any of our 
 attention, if he was not the only narrator of the characteristics of the Indians 
 of Brazil at the early day of his narrative. The Portuguese have always 
 been cold to the influence of literature, and their explorers and warriors 
 have accordingly left few records of their experience and adventures. 
 Chapters x. to'xiii., pp. 108 to 153, are devoted to descriptions of the man-

 Mante's association with the frontier war between the American colonists and 
 the Caniulian French and Indians, did not commence until 1 764, the last year 
 of hostilities with these allies. He seems, however, to have made good use of 
 his ojiiiortunities to gain information. He describes with great detail the 
 campaigns of Washington and Braddock, of Generals Abercrombie and 
 Amherst, and of Colonels Bradstreet and Boquet. The last chapter gives 
 the principal incidents of Pontiac's wai-. The eighteen large folding maps and 
 plans which should accompany the text, are often missing.

 It is difficult to speak of this splendid work in such terms as its excellence 
 deserves, without seeming to be extravagant in laudation. The author has 
 brought the art of photography to aid for the first time, in illustrating a 
 work principally treating of the aborigines of America. Much more than 
 half of the plates, so beautifully executed as we find them in these volumes, 
 are illustrative of phases in the common life of the Indians of South 
 America, of scenes in their warfare, or barbarous rites ; or of physiognomical 
 peculiarities of the different tribes; exhibited by portraits of representative 
 individuals. Nothing eftectsd by engraving has been published, since the 
 days of the brothers De Bry, so elaborate, so rich, and so perfect in drawing, 
 scenery, costume, and anatomical correctness. The greatest difference we per- 
 ceive is in the marks of that advance of art, in more faithful portraying 
 nature according to nature, instead of attempting it by blind adherence to the 
 rules of art. The savages in these pictures are not endowed with the noble 
 features of the Greek deities.

 This is an essay written in such grave historic strain, as to be often taken for 
 veritable biography. It is, however, nothing but pure fiction, and not even 
 original at that. Mr. Marcy levied upon Dr. Samuel Mitchell for the 
 material to construct his essay, and carried it away bodily. Dr. Mitchell 
 wrote and printed an account of Tammany several years before. Mr. Mar- 
 cy's oration and life of Tammany were first printed at Troy, N. Y.

 Captain Marcy 's report affords the reader some authentic information regard- 
 ing the peculiar customs of the Indians of the southern plains. Their mode 
 of warfare, their invariable violation of the chastity of female prisoners, and 
 the construction of their dwellings and villages, are more particularly de- 
 scribed in Chapters viii. and x. The Appendix contains a comparative 
 vocabulary of the Comanches and Wichitas, of five pages ; and one of the 
 plates is a view of a Wichita village.

 Colonel Marcy's volume is the result of a lifetime of frontier experience, dur- 
 ing which period almost everything which he describes has changed or passed 
 away, except the natural features of the country. No writer has had more 
 intimate communication with the warlike tribes of the plains, and his official 
 relation gives authenticity to his statements. One of the most interesting 
 portions of his work is the narration of the subjection of one of the fierce 
 tribes of the Comanches, numbering more than eight thousand, and of the 
 selection, after long explorations, of a beautiful valley, thirty miles long, by 
 more than half that breadth, for their settlement. Here, expatriated from 
 their native plains and imprisoned by high mountains, beyond which they 
 could not stray without danger of being declared at war with the govern- 
 ment, they were deported. Even here the cupidity of the whites could not 
 give them peace. The Texan hordes of banditti coveted the fertile valley, 
 and murdered or drove away its occupants.

 The first moiety of the title well expresses the scope of a greater part of the 
 book. It is principally devoted to a study of the physical and mental works 
 of the ancient rulers of Peru, the wonderful race of the Incas. Few persons 
 have, in later years, been better fitted for this task than Mr. Markham. His 
 familiarity with the Quichua language has been more lately exhibited, in the 
 production of a treatise on that language. In the present work he gives 
 translations of the poems and dramas, composed by the Indians, with a 
 grammatical analysis and vocabulary of their language.

 Mr. Markham did not exhaust the suhject of the Incas, in his iirst work, 
 Cuzco Sf- Lima. In this he devotes Chapters vii. to x., pp. 108 to 180, to 
 " The Aymara Indians, their antiquities, their condition. Narrative of the 
 Insurrection of the last of the Incas in 1780." Chapters xii. to xiv., pp. 199 
 to 240, are filled with a " Description of The Province of Caravaya, its 
 Aboriginal inhabitants, their cultivation and use of the Coca," etc. The 
 wonderful story of Tupac Amaru, the last of the Incas, his insurrection, 
 defeat, and horrible execution, are nowhere related at length as in Mr. 
 Markham's volume.

 This remnant of the literature of the Incas, was preserved until about 1770, 
 by the quipus, or knotted calendar ; when Dr. Valdoz, who had often wit- 
 nessed the representation of the drama by Indian actors, before the ill-foted 
 Inca, Tupac Amaru, reduced it to writing. From this copy, written by the 
 Cura in pure Quichua, Mr. Markham has translated this English version. 
 Its great antiquity is authenticated, not so much by the existence of several 
 copies in MS. as by the conformity of wide-spread traditions, and the entire 
 absence of every Spanish word. There is not the slightest trace of ideas, 
 derived from civilization or Christianity. It has received the sanction of such 
 scholars as Drs. Eiviero, Tschudi, and Barranca, who were convinced that 
 it was composed long before the Conquest of Peru by Pizarro.

 There is not a little discrepancy in the views of bibliographers, regarding the 
 issue of this edition. White Kennett makes it the first of the complete 
 English editions, placing it under the date of 1.597. What authority he had 
 for his conclusion, is not even guessed at by the authorities of the present 
 day. Mr. Sabin simply quotes Mr. Rich's note, to the edition of 1612 : 
 " Some copies are without date." Temaux and Stevens do not notice it. 
 It would seem from this negative testimony, to have been even rarer than 
 the editions of 1612 and 1628. The name of the author of this work, was 
 Pietro Martir, of Anghicra, in Milan, a name which he latinized into Angle- 
 ria. There is no more warrant for styling him Anglerius than Milanoise. 
 He is recognized by all Spanish writers by his patronymic, anglicized to 
 Peter Manyr. 
 
 He was an Italian scholar of a noble family of Milan, bom 1455, and died at 
 Grenada in Spain, 1526. He possessed eminent ability and learning, and 
 is believed to be the first writer who noticed in his works the discovery 
 of America by his countryman Columbus ; as he is the first who published 
 a treatise descriptive of the peculiarities of the natives of the New World, 
 the first decade having been printed in 1504, and the first three decades in 
 1516. It was not until 1530, that the complete work in eight decades was 
 printed. Eden translated the first edition of three decades, and printed it 
 with some matters copied from Oviedo and other authors, in 1555. Willes 
 followed his example, and produced the three decades with part of the fourth, 
 and some additional material drawn from several historians. The first com- 
 plete English edition was printed in 1597. 
 
 Martyr accompanied the Count Tendilla to Spain, in 1487, and was ordained 
 a priest two years after the discovery of America. He was in such high 
 esteem, that he was appointed tutor to their children, by Ferdinand and 
 Isabella. He was sent in 1501, on a diplomatic mission to Egypt, of which 
 he gii'es a relation in one of his works, entitled Delegatione Babylonicce. 
 Pope Leo X. appointed him Prothonotaire Apostoliqne, and in 1505 he was 
 made Dean of the Chapter of Granada Cathedral. In this city he died in 
 1525 or 1526. He was the contemporary and friend of the great navigators, 
 discoverers, and conquerors, — Columbus, Vasco de Gama, Cortes, Magellan, 
 Cabot, and Vespucius. JBeside the great advantage thus acquired, his 
 ofiicial position as member of the council for the Indies, afforded him the in- 
 spection of documents of undoubted authenticity. His work therefore, com- 
 posed frojn sources of such importance, and with such aids, has always been 
 placed in the highest rank of authorities, on the history of the first association 
 of the Indians with Europeans. Munoz qualifies these encomiums, and 
 criticizes severely Martyr's want of order, and neglect to consult original 
 documents. Perfect copies of either of the English translations, as well as 
 of the first edition in Latin, are rare. A copy of the edition of 1597 has been 
 recently sold in New York for seventy-five dollars.

 It will be seen that this edition possesses double the prelirainaiy pages of 
 either the preceding or succeeding titles. This would give some color to 
 the hypothesis, that the edition of 1612 was the first complete English one; 
 as the omission of the "Epistola Dedicatoria" from them both would seem 
 to have been an after-thought. Yet there is nothing less certain than a 
 deduction drawn from common sense, in analyzing the motives of an Eng- 
 lish publisher, two centuries ago. The text of the three editions, and the 
 address " To the Reader," are in every particular identical.

 This book is the relation of a religious enthusiast, or of an impostor, the two 
 characters, unhappily for our trust in humanity, exhibiting sometimes re- 
 markably similar traits. Although the pamphlet has little or no value, ex- 
 cept what its rarity bestows, it has arrived at the distinction of being 
 prmted in two editions ; but the bibliopole has learned little of books who 
 has not discovered that this is no insignia of merit.

 the Indians of N. E., and Niles' History of the Indian Wars of N. E., were 
 for the first time made accessible to the public. It is to be regretted that the 
 later volumes have assumed more the character of state documents. The 
 first series of ten volumes contains fifty-two treatises on Indian history, lan- 
 guages, or origin ; including Roger Williams' Key into the Languages of N. 
 E., 35 pages ; Gookins, His Collection of Indians, 141 pages, etc. The second 
 series has fifteen tracts on the same subjects, including Edwards' Observations 
 on the Mohegan Language, with Duponceau's Notes, Winslow's Account of the 
 Religion, Manners, and Customs of the Indians of N. E. But it is in the third 
 series that these collections excel in the number and value of their essays and 
 histories of the aborigines. Sixty-one tracts, illustrating almost every feat- 
 ure of their character and history, are either reproduced, or for the first time 
 brought to light in these volumes. Seven of the eleven reports, to the " Cor- 
 poration for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Indians," commonly 
 known as the Eliot Tracts, are reprinted in this series. Captain John Un- 
 derhill's History of the Pequot War ; Vincent's Relation of the Battell with the 
 Pequods ; Waymouth's Voyage to Va. in 1 605 ; Levett's Voyage toN.E. in 1 623 ; 
 Lion Gardiner's Relation of the Pequod War ; Cotton s Vocabulai-y of In- 
 dian Language ; Account of Hugh Gibson's Captivity ; Niles' History of the 
 French and Indian Wars in New England, of which the first part was printed 
 in Vol. VI. of the third series, pp. i54 to 279, was completed in Vol. V. of 
 the fourth series, pp. 309 to 589.

 This work, printed in London in 1676, as will be seen by the title, covers a 
 period of but little more than a year. An edition was printed in Boston 
 nearly simultaneously ; but the reverend author, not entirely free from an 
 author's vanity, in the next year hurried through the press another work, 
 entitled, A Relation of the Troubles which have hap'ned in New-England by 
 reason of the Indians there. From the year 1614 to the year 1675. He was 
 Stimulated to this literary labor by the knowledge that his reverend brother, 
 Wm. Hubbard, was engaged upon the same work. Indeed, the two treatises 
 were probably almost simultaneously passing through the press of John 
 Forster. In his preface, Mather exhibits a little trace of acerbity, when he 
 asserts, "This following relation was written neer upon a year ago; since 
 which a reverend author hath emitted a narrative of the troubles which 
 happened by the Indians : * * nevertheless * * most of the things here in- 
 sisted on, are not so much as once taken notice of in that narrative." Both 
 of Mather's histories of Indian wars, are exceedingly rare. They have 
 been reprinted by Mr. Drake. The present one is included in his work en- 
 titled. History of King Philip's War. The second Mr. Drake reprinted with 
 the title, Early History of New England.

 Of captivities of whites among the Indians, and of their restoration to liberty ; 
 but no account of the release of the wretched Pequods and Wampanoags, 
 sold into slavery in the West Indies. Even at this early day, the dilettanti 
 notion of large paper editions, was in fashion. In the Post Angel, a periodi- 
 cal published in London in 1701, we find a notice of Mather's forthcoming 
 history, in these words : " I had the Happiness to be acquainted with Mr. 
 Mather, and have heard him preach many Excellent Sermons, in New Eng- 
 land ; being once in his Company, he shewed me his Library and I do think 
 he has one of the best (for a Private Library) that I ever saw. . . To 
 Encourage Subscribers to this Great and Useful Work, he that brings the 
 first payment for Six Books, is promised a Seventh Gratis, in Larger or 
 Smaller Paper." The " Magnalia" was therefore printed in two sizes, of 
 which the larger brings $100 to $150, being much the rarer form of a book 
 by no means common in either.

 The author was very assiduous in collecting facts relating to the condition, 
 history, and character of the Indians of Peru and Brazil, particularly of the 
 unexplored districts, in the valley of the Maranon. He studied them with 
 the zeal of a scholar, and the analysis of an ethnologist, and although his 
 opportunities were comparatively narrow, and his tour very I'apid, he gleaned 
 with great industry. He copies, in pp. 463 to 563, from the Mercurio Per- 
 uana, the report of the reestablishment of the missions among the savage 
 tribes of Manoa, where fifteen missionaries had beeil murdered a few years 
 before. At pages 474 to 477, is given the official report of the discovery and 
 exploration of a valley, hitherto unapproached by the whites, and in which 
 resided a tribe of Indians, whose unappeasable hostility had heretofore ut- 
 terly forbidden intercourse with them.

 rior of N. A. in 1832 and 1833. The attention of the author was, in both 
 tours, drawn primarily to the aborigines, though not so distinctly, in his 
 travels in Brazil, as subsequently in North America. The greater shyness

 of the wild natives of South America, the impenetrable forests through

 The quarto volume is the text of one of the most beautiful and costly of 
 works, having the American Indians for their subject. The wiseacre who 
 gave it an English dress, takes credit to himself in his preface, ibr omitting 
 the very extensive vocabularies found in the German edition, occupying 
 nearly one quarter of volume second, or pp. 455 to 560. The volume of 
 plates contains eighty-one vignettes and full-page colored engravings of the 
 most perfect drawing, and beautiful execution. Forty-nine of these are illus- 
 trative of some phase in Indian life and character. Two English editions 
 of these plates have been issued, the last, so much inferior to the other as to 
 be unworthy of comparison, was published by Mr. Bohn to meet a continued 
 demand for the work. The first edition brings a large price, usually 100 to 
 125 dollars.

 Mr. Mayer's work is probably the most complete and exhaustive history of 
 Mexico. The narration of the conquest of the Aztec race, with a view of 
 its civilization, occupy the first 124 pages. The remainder of the work is 
 largely devoted to the history, character, and condition of the native races. 
 It is particularly valuable for its statistics obtained from governmental docu- 
 ments, regarding the number and tribes of Indians residing in each state. 
 He enumerates 1 53 nations or tribes of aborigines, with a total population in 
 1842, of 4,354,000. Of the numerous illustrations, more than forty exhibit 
 some phase in the life, habits, or antiquities of these native tribes.

 The address delivered before the Maryland Society, is in this work, by notes, 
 biogi'aphical sketches, and an appendix, increased to a volume. When Mr. 
 Mayer commenced his defense of Colonel Cresap, he, in common with all who 
 had" given the subject any attention, believed that the letter of General Clarke, 
 which fully vindicated the memory of Colonel Cresap from the charge of 
 murdering Logan's family, had never reached President Jefferson, to whom it 
 was addressed, as he never modified his aspersions. But later examinations 
 of Mr. Jefferson's papers, have resulted in the discovery of an unhappy fact, 
 for the candor of that statesman. He had received the vindication two years 
 before he published his testimony in 1800, to the veritability of Logan's 
 speech. The testimony regarding the celebrated speech of the Indian chief, 
 does not, however, disprove its delivery by him, in all its essential elements of 
 eloquence and pathos. In fact, to doubt its utterance by Logan, is to credit 
 Colonel Gibson, a gentleman who never before or after wrote or spoke in 
 other than the plainest terms, with the composition of the wonderful speech. 
 Mr. Mayer narrates at length, the manner and period of the death of Logan, 
 which were for a long time in doubt. The chief was assassinated by one of 
 his own tribe, in revenge for chastising his wife, — a privilege which Indian 
 sachems claimed over every member of their clan.

 In this extraordinary relation of the effects of the Gospel upon the aborigi- 
 nes, are narrated biographical sketches of one hundred and twenty-nine In- 
 dians, who gave unexceptional tokens of conversion by Christian lives. The 
 humane labors of this noble missionary contrast so strikingly with the bloody 
 massacre of the Cheyennes in 1863, by the forces under the Rev. Colonel 
 Chivington at Sand Creek, that we cannot but wonder if their religion was 
 the same. We are reminded, however, that Mr. Mayhew's own sect insti- 
 gated wars between the tribes of New England, in order to weaken their 
 forces, slaughtered the entire adult members of some tribes, and sold their 
 children into slavery in the West Indies.

 Several engravings illustrative of aboriginal life, and two chapters devoted to

 The author, a land surveyor, was by his occupation, brought in contact with 
 the last of the race of pioneers, or perhaps their immediate descendants. 
 He brought to his work the genuine zeal of an antiquary, and was peculiarly 
 fortunate in obtaining a rich store of incidents and narratives, which had not 
 been staled with repetition. His large volume is, therefore, one mass of d?w 
 material in the history of border warfare, Indian massacres, biographical 
 sketches of Indian fighters, and Indian warriors.

 [" Memorial containing a statement of facts responsive to the observations 
 sent by the Ministers of England to the Courts of Europe."] 
 The very curious history of this memoir deserves attention from all students 
 of American history. At the sun-ender of Fort Necessity by Washington, 
 his Journal of the Expedition, together with the letters of Braddock to the 
 British Ministry, and his instructions to Wasliington, were seized by the 
 French victors. They were immediately transmitted to France, and by 
 order of tlie French king, printed and sent to every court of Europe, as in- 
 dicating the aggressive character of the British. From evidence drawn from 
 these documents, they charge Washington with the murder of Jumonville. 
 This was the second publication of any of Washington's writings, and the 
 first notice the public had of his Journal. It was translated and printed in 
 New York, in 1757, under the title of A Memorial, etc., and the same year

 This very rare work has comparatively little of intrinsic value perhaps to 
 merit the avidity with which it is sought. It is a compilation, principally 
 from available sources, of the narratives which in their original form had, 
 even at the date of its publication, become scarce or difficult to procure. 
 These have since been so often reprinted, that they would seem to have 
 superseded the necessity which called for the publication of this volume.

 But every succeeding year brings with it an augmentation of the price at 
 which it is sold. It has in turn become as rare as the works it sought to 
 preserve from oblivion. Colonel Boone's Narrative, first printed in Filson's

 As one of the earliest imprints of the West, and as a specimen of really 
 excellent typography, as well as a contribution to the literature illustrative 
 of aboriginal and frontier life, it will probably always preserve its rank 
 among rare and costly books.

 [Narrative of his Captivity among the Oneidas, by the Rev. Father Pierre 
 Milet, of the Society of Jesus.] 
 The Manuscript of this narrative of Father Milet's captivity among the 
 Oneidas, written by himself, was found by the lion. H. C. Murphy in Hol- 
 land ; and we owe this fine historic relic of the early history of the Colony 
 of New York, in addition to many others of importance, to the research and 
 good fortune of that gentleman. Father Milet, during his captivity of nearly 
 two years, acquired such an intimate knowledge of the peculiar characteristics 
 of the Onondagas and Oneidas, among whom he was a prisoner, that we can 
 now only regret that he did not leave us a more full and complete narrative 
 than his brief account affords. Such as it is however, it gives us, in connec- 
 tion with Father Jogues' narrative, nearly all we know from personal obser- 
 vation, of the Five Nations at this period.

 CrceU Nation. By General Milfort, Tastenegy, or Great War Chief of the 
 Creek Nation, and Brigadier-General of the French Republic, Paris, 1802.] 
 
 The narrative of this extraordinary man's career among the Creek Indians, 
 has so much of the romantic in the design of the author, that the reader is 
 at first predisposed to think lightly of its veracity. There arc, however, 
 corrolionitive circumstances which confirm his statements, and induce us to 
 give a fair degree of credence to his narrative. 
 
 At the time of his ariival among the Creeks, a half breed named McGillivray, 
 had obtained so great an influence over them by his talent for organization, 
 that he had actually acquired the rank of head chief. Milfort was received 
 by McGillivray with great cordiality ; married his Indian sister, and in a short 
 time was made the commander of the warriors of the nation. He led them 
 against both the Spaniards and the Americans, and by his aid the Indians 
 defeated the forces of each in several skirmishes. Milfort remained with the 
 Creeks, nntil the breaking out of the revolution in his own country. His 
 Memoir affords ns some general information of the tribes he visited, but not 
 of such value as we might have anticipated from his opportunities.

 This narrative of a frightful journey, across the continent through British 
 America, is crowded with details of aboriginal life as seen by the author, who 
 gained an additional claim to his title of nobility, by the fortitude with 
 which he endured the privations and extremities which befell his party. 
 From the imminent dangers of drowning, assassination, and starvation, the 
 authors were rescued by the adroitness, daring, and fidelity of an Assini- 
 boine Indian, and his squaw. Several of the plates are illustrative of these 
 scenes of peril, and of his rescuers.

 This work, written by the venerable Bishop, is a narration of some of the prin-

 sionaries among the Indians of New York. Obtaining his materials from 
 the documents and relations of the missions, his history could not but be 
 authentic. Chapters iv. and v., pp.-39 to 60, are occupied with descriptions 
 of the Indians, and vi., vii., and viii., with " The Host of Martyrs," " Chau- 
 monot compiling his grammar on the frozen earth," " Broebeuf with his 
 collar-bone broken, crawling on the frozen ground, and sleeping in the . 
 snow," and finally, with " Father Lallemant, burnt at the stake, under in- 
 credible tortures." The work also narrates how Fathers Viele, Gamier, 
 Jogues, and Goupil followed them, through the same road, to heaven ; how 
 others, beaten, robbed, and tortured, dragged their worn and wounded bodies 
 from village to village, to baptize a dying child, or bestow the last ofScea of 
 their religion on a captive, perishing at the stake.

 This extraordinary man, whose labors are rivaled only by those of the early 
 Jesuit missionaries, was a negro born in Virginia, about 1790, who, in 1816, 
 .conceived that he was directed by divine authority to preach the Gospel to 
 the northwest Pagan Indians. He arrived among the Wyandots, then lo- 
 cated in the vicinity of the present site of Sandusky, during the performance 
 of one of their wild, heathenish festivals. Fierce as they were, the melody of 
 one of his religious hymns, sung in the rich, expressive voice, for which he 
 was remarkable, struck the savage fancy and gave him at once a powerful 
 hold upon their interest. For five year's this unlettered African not only 
 retained the power he had acquired, but step by step increased his influence,

 niitil a great portion of the tribe was redeemed from drunkenness and 
 paganism. The fiercest vindictiveness of the revengeful Pagans, melted 
 before the mild zeal and pure life of the fervent missionary. It was not 
 until 1820, that the attention of the Methodist Church authorities was at- 
 tracted to the wonderful labors of this black apostle, and they then deter- 
 mined to assume jurisdiction over the Christian Church, organized by the 
 descendant of African savages, among American aborigines. There are few 
 in any generation of men, who may not envy the labors of this negio mis- 
 sionary and his reward. Some details of his labors will be found in Finley'fl 
 autobiography.

 This is the fourth edition of the Book of Common Prayer, first translated 
 into Mohawk by the missionary Freeman, and by Lawrence Claesse. The 
 Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts sent the first 
 missionary to the Mohawks in 1702, but it was not until 1709, on the occa- 
 sion of the visit of some of that nation to London, accompanied by Colonel 
 Schuyler, that the Society was stirred to provide them with the offices of the 
 church, printed in their own language. The Book of Common Prayer had 
 been in part translated by Mr. Freeman, was enlarged by the interpreter, 
 Lawrence Claesse, and printed by William Bradford, in New York, in 1715. 
 It was in medium quarto, containing 141 pages. One or two copies of this 
 very rare edition have been seen without date or imprint ; three that I have 
 examined have both. As copies of this edition had become scarce in 1762, 
 Sir William Johnson caused another to be prepared which was printed in 
 New York, in 1769. Very considerable additions were made to it, and as 
 the quarto form had been found inconvenient, it was, by Sir William's direc- 
 tion, changed to small octavo, of 208 pages. In the terrible devastations 
 which the Mohawk valley suffered during the War of the Revolution, together 
 with the expatriation of the nation in 1777, most of the copies in their pos- 
 session were lost. Governor Haldiman of Canada, moved by their petitions, 
 caused an edition of one thousand copies to be printed in 1780, at Quebec. 
 This was also in octavo and contained 213 pages. In a few years this edi- 
 tion had also become exhausted, and the Society, which seventy years before 
 had caused the first translation to be printed, again directed the work of 
 furnishing to the Indians a more enlarged and correct version. Colonel 
 Daniel Claus, who had under the direction of Governor Haldiman super- 
 vised the printing of the Quebec edition, was engaged by the Society to 
 reiise the impression as it issued from the press. The edition of 1787 is 
 declared in the Preface to be much more correct than any previous one, — a 
 merit which it probably owes to the accurate knowledge of the Mohawk lan- 
 guage, possessed by Colonel Claus. All the other editions were solely in 
 the Indian tongue, but in this the English version on the verso of each 
 leaf, is rendered as closely as possible into Mohawk on the recto of the next. 
 The chronological history of the translation, may be summed up as follows : 
 The Morning and Evening Prayers, the Gospel of St. Matthew and other 
 portions of Scripture, were translated by the Rev. Mr. Freeman, a missionary 
 among the Mohawks about 1706, but remained in MS. This translation 
 was given to Mr. Andrews, and used as the basis of Lawrence Claesse's 
 translation of the Catechism, the Litany, etc., printed in 1715. Colonel 
 William Johnson employed William Weyman of New York, to print four 
 hundred copies in 1763 ; but the death of Dr. Barclay, the Mohawk mis- 
 sionary who was to superintend it, caused a suspension of two years. His 
 successor in the mission, the Rev. Mr. Ogilvie, then undertook the labor, but 
 in 1768 the death of the printer, Mr. Weyman, again stopped its progress. 
 Hugh Gaines, then having been induced to complete the printing, it was 
 issued in 1769, having been six years in the press. The two succeeding 
 editions followed as already described. See Humphrey's History of the Society 
 for Propagating the Gospel, and Vol. I. Historical Magazine.

 Vol II. is entirely devoted to the history of the Araucanian Indians, their 
 peculiar customs, and their wars with the Spaniards, with a grammar of the 
 language, and a vocabulary. The wars of the Spaniards with the uncon- 
 quered Araucanians, have afforded the most fertile material of all the chap- 
 ters of South American history, for story and romance. Ercilla, the Spanish 
 poet, whose epic has been compared to the Iliad and the jEneid, formed his 
 Araucania on their story. The Abbe Molina has told in his volumes, in 
 almost equally glowing prose, the narrative of the heroic struggle of these 
 savages for freedom. He obtained from the Abbe Olivarez, MS. history writ- 
 ten prior to 1665, and from the oral, narration of actors in the wars, as well 
 as from printed documents, the materials for his history. On pp. 285 to 304, 
 Vol. II. he gives a grammatical essay, and vocabulary of the Araucanian lan- 
 guage. The remainder of this volume is taken up with copious extracts 
 from Ercilla's poem, as copiously annotated.

 The first volume is principally occupied with a relation of the French and 
 Spanish discovery of the territory, and the association of the colonial gov- 
 ernments of these nations with the Indians, and their wars with the various 
 tribes inhabiting it. Much the largest portion of Vol. II. is devoted to a 
 narration of the Indian wars of the States bordering the Ohio. Chap. I. is 
 entitled, "Manners and Customs of the Frontier Population." Chap. II. 
 " Indian Warfare, and its effects upon the Frontier People." Chaps. III. and 
 IV. "Indian hostilities upon the Ohio." Chap. IV. The same, and "Pred- 
 atory Excursions into Kentucky and partisan Warfare." Chap. VIII. " In- 
 dian Relations with the U. S." Chaps. IX. and X. " Early Settlement and 
 Indian hostilities from 1776 to 1796." Chap. XI. " Indian Wars, and Mili- 
 tary Operations North of the Ohio River, 1787 to 1795." The work is prob- 
 ably the best of the numerous class of books on the subject of western his- 
 tory.

 and the mixture of harsh, dark, unsightly woodcuts, with tawdry colored 
 lithographs, would induce the editor, we could readily believe, to hide his

 Beside the large map, there is a folding sheet of comparative vocabularies, a 
 large folding plate, and twenty full-paged engravings. It is evident on 
 examination, that this is the work of a writer more than ordinarily fitted for 
 the task. It is indeed rare that taste and learning so well combine with 
 the experience of a lifetime to favor the researches of a historian in examin- 
 ing the scanty records of the American Indians. In early youth Mr. Mor- 
 gan was so familiarly associated with the Senecas, that he was adopted as a 
 member of the tribe. Under such favorable circumstances, he was permitted 
 to closely study their social organization, and the structure and principles of 
 their ancient league. Year after year his materials grew, until his copious

 notes becamo volumes, and tluis the production of the first systematic trea- 
 tise, regarding tlie internal structure of Indian society "and government was 
 made easy of accomplishment. The laws of descent among the Iroquois, 
 fii-st claimed the author's attention, and his treatise fully exhibits that mar- 
 velous and sagacious legislative restriction, by which tribal and national 
 rank was always derived from the mother. Not the least valuable feature 
 of his work, crowded as it is with original investigations and logical deduc- 
 tions, is the map of the territory belonging to, or once occupied by the Six 
 Nations, in which all the localities of their numerous villages are shown, 
 with the aboriginal names of the streams, lakes, valleys, and other geograph- 
 ical features. The Appendix, pp. 465 to 477, is entitled "Schedule ex- 
 planatory of the Indian Map." It is a table giving the English names of 
 the localities, streams, etc., on the map, and opposite thereto the Indian 
 name, while a third column exhibits its signification. Nearly four hundred 
 geographical names are thus rendered and translated.

 A sheet of eight closely printed pages, designed to be sent to persons having

 Everything which passes the hands of this indefatigable student of aboriginal 
 history, bears the marks of so much thoughtful analysis, that even these 
 fugitive leaves have a distinct and peculiar value. In most treatises upon 
 the mysterious subject of the origin, progress, and other ethnological data of 
 the Indians, hypothesis has run mad, and the wildest speculations have not 
 been without their advocates. These, the grim silence of their history, forbids 
 ever to be proven true or false. Mr. Morgan, however, deals only with facts, 
 of which his residence among the Iroquois aflFords him an abundant store. 
 He leaves his reader himself to deduce the almost inevitable conclusion, 
 which his data suggest.

 Under this unpromising title, the author has printed a journal of an expedi- 
 tion against Pontiac, in which he was made a captive by the Indians. On 
 pp. 1 to 39, he gives his narrative of the incidents of his hazardous mission to 
 Pontiac, a savage general, who in a six weeks' campaign, overthrew the 
 British authority in all the territories of the northwest. Captain Morris 
 accepted the service at the request of General Bradstreet, sensible that to 
 place himself in the power of the vindictive Indian chief, was little short of a 
 sentence to death. General Bradstreet, who had the ill luck to bear a reputa- 
 tion too great for his capacity, had the additional misfortune of seldom 
 knowing what he really wanted. Captain Morris, by tlie eorabi}ied force of 
 good fortune, and good oonduet, escaped the perils which inclosed his course

 With the fire kindled around the stake to which he was tied, he was more 
 than once rescued at the last minute. The original MS. of his journal is 
 preserved in tlic London Colonial Archives. Other particulars of his mis- 
 sion, captivity, and escape, can be found in Captain Morris' letter to Brad-

 This is certainly the most complete and exhaustive report of the condition, 
 numbers, names, territory, and general affairs of the Indians, ever made. It 
 affords us the details of almost every particular which we could desire, re- 
 lating to the accessible tribes, in the territory of the United States, as they 
 existed in the year 1820. They are the result of the indefatigable labors, of a 
 humane and learned man, who personally visited, and investigated the affairs 
 of many of the tribes enumerated. The most elaborate tables accompany 
 the work, and afford a vast amount of statistical information regarding the 
 Indians within the jurisdiction of the government. 
 
 On page 361 commences " A Statistical Table of all the Indian Tribes in the

 This treatise is highly esteemed by ethnologists, and is certainly the result of

 Mr. Morton's work has been recognized, as one of the best contributions to 
 exact knowledge of the history of man, ever offered as the work of one in-

 After eighteen years of most laborious investigations, this excellent historian 
 persuaded himself, that he was at length justified in printing his work. But 
 exhausted with the intensity of his application, he had only vitality enough 
 to aid in the issue of one volume, when his death forever interrupted the 
 completion of his labors, ^he literary treasures of the Indies, which Spanish 
 jealousy had hitherto secluded from all investigation, were by royal mandate 
 placed at his disposal. Vast numbers of original MSS. of the highest his- 
 torical importance, were tinder his direction, copied and arranged for nse. 
 These authenticated much that was only conjectured, and disproved much 
 that was thought to be known. A large portion of the volume we have, is 
 devoted to narrations of the character of the Indians, and their treatment by 
 Columbus, which Munoz declares to have been eminently humane, although 
 he early countenanced, and even directed, their reduction to slavery. One 
 incident he mentions, reveals the high elevation of religious sentiment, among 
 the graver and more intelligent, of the once happy and innocent aborigines 
 of San Domingo. An aged and venerable Indian, on witnessing one of the 
 first acts of devotion by the Spaniards, expressed the highest gratification at 
 their evident belief in a Supreme Being, declaring his pleasure with teai's of 
 joy, that these white strangers and his own naked countrymen, worshipped 
 the same King of Heaven, who would, after this short life, reward the good 
 of all tribes with happiness, and punish the wicked with misery. Of less 
 importance, yet not without significance, is the statement on Oviedo's au- 
 thority, that Europeans first imitated the natives in smoking tobacco, to alle- 
 viate the pangs of syphilis.

 Muratori's relation of the Jesuit missions in Paraguay is very highly es- 
 teemed, having been composed in great part from documents written by 
 various Jesuit missionaries and travellers, furnished to Muratori by Father 
 Gaetan Cattanio, a missionary of the brotherhood of Jesus, in Paraguay. 
 The latter v/as bom in Modena, in 1696, and died in Paraguay, in 1733. His 
 letters, published as an appendix to this work, are exceedingly interesting in 
 aflFording descriptions of the Indians of Paraguay at this early day. The 
 historian is said also to have derived no small portion of his work from the 
 communications of Santo Bueno, Viceroy of Peru.

 This is the first and best edition of a most interesting work, by an intelligent 
 obseiwer of the peculiarities of the Pawnees, before they had been modified 
 by contact with the whites. His departure from St. Louis, and first encounter 
 with the Pawnees, is narrated in Cha:p. xii. of Vol. I., and through the re- 
 mainder of the volume, pp. 235 to 460, and pp. 1 to 96 of Vol. II., we follow 
 him with unabated interest in his narration of his adventures during a three 
 months' tour in the Indian territory. There is little of scientific value in his 
 narrative, but it possesses a more than common charm in the vividness of 
 his relation.

 This is another story of the method in which the cowards of the frontiers 
 revenged upon innocent and helpless old men, and young children, the out- 
 rages of Indian warriors whom they dared not meet. The pamphlet nan-ates 
 the destruction of the feeble remnant of the Conestoge tribe, by those whose 
 bodies must have been inhabited by fiends from hell, instead of human souls. 
 The inhuman slaughter of Christian men and women with their babes, by 
 the mob of Scotch and Irish frontier settlers, is the most horrible picture of 
 human phrensy this continent ever saw. Among all the atrocities which 
 have been attributed to the Spaniards, as having been perpetrated upon the 
 Indians, no historian has ever charged them with the merciless slaughter of 
 Christian and friendly tribes, to revenge the outrages of pagan and hostile 
 savages. The pamphlet is said to have been written by Benjamin Franklin, 
 and is among the rarest of works relating to the history of Pennsylvania.

 This narrative is the second of that long catalogue of statements, histories, 
 and narratives to which the murder of Governor Semple by the half-breed 
 Indians, in the service of the Northwest Fur Company, gave existence. The 
 first publication was the " Sketch of the Fur Trade in North America," by 
 the benevolent and enterprising Lord Selkirk. This nan-ative is the rejoin- 
 der of the Northwest Fur Company, covering pp. 1 to 152. The Appendix 
 which follows, paged separately 1 t» 87, is composed of aifidavits of the 
 traders, of Indian speeches, etc. The next work in order of this embroglio 
 is entitled, " Statement respecting Lord Selkirk's Settlement, its Destruction, 
 Massacre of Governor Semple, etc."

 The narrator gives in this work the results of his observations regarding the 
 people and government of Florida, during the last days of its ocdupation by 
 the Spaniards. Almost the whole of the volume subsequent to, and includ- 
 ing Chapter x., pp. 147 to 328, is devoted to the Seminole Indians; the 
 barbarous character of the war of the Americans with them ; and anecdotes 
 respecting the Seminoles. The Appendix is entitled " Seminole War : exe- 
 cution of Arbuthnot and Ambrister." The details of the seizure of these 
 two Indian traders, on the soil of a friendly power, themselves citizens of 
 another friendly government, engaged in a lawful commerce, their trial and 
 execution by General Jackson, for selling arms to the Seminoles, whom they 
 believed, and whom history records, to have been justly fighting against 
 aggression, are all related at length, and principally by exact copies of his- 
 torical documents.

 from the narrations of Smith, Strachey, Argall, Chamberlain, Hamor, 
 Whitaker, Purchas, and others, to prove that Rolfe did not and could not 
 marry Pocahontas, as ho had brought a white wife from England. The 
 evidence is at best only negative, plausible merely by omission, and very 
 inconclusive.

 This reprint of the first of that series of reports to the Corporation for Propa-

 biographical sketch. Indeed, the whole of Mr. Sabin's reprints are unedited, 
 and thus an excellent opportunity, of adding to the common stock of knowl- 
 edge regarding their bibliographical history as well as that of their author,

 There is only the obvious reason for admitting this book into this Catalogue, 
 that it is so fully illustrative of the habits of the animals, which form a 
 great portion of the Indian's subsistence, and the subtle craft by which he is 
 obliged to circumvent their sagacity and cunning instinct. It is the work, 
 not of one man only, but of muny acute and observing woodsmen, who 
 have spent their lives watching the habits of the denizens of the forest, and 
 in discovering the devices by which the sly, timid, and crafty beasts preserved 
 their hunted lives. It is in fact a revelation of the secrets of all the wild 
 animals which haunt the streams or woods, obtained from the reticent In- 
 dian and the garrulous fur-hunter.

 of Sullivan's celebrated campaign, of which abundant materials exist to form 
 an interesting and valuable history. The massacre of Lieutenant Boyd and 
 his party, has attracted the interest and sympathy of a va«t number of read- 
 ers, but there are few that have heard the story which makes his fate seem 
 almost a just retribution. " When the company of which he was an officer, 
 was forming for the march to the rendezvous, a young girl endeavored to 
 draw him aside, to whose entreaties he offered only a contemptuous refusal. 
 Rendered desperate by her wrongs, she declared that she was about to become 
 a mother, through his promises of marriage, and then in the most solemn 
 manner abjured him to fuUfil them. As he turned a deaf ear to her en- 
 treaties, she terminated the scene, by beseecliing his Maker to prevent his 
 returning alive, if he abandoned her." Simms' History of Schoharie County.

 The naturalist records in almost every chapter some incidents of his personal 
 intercourse with the Chickasaw, Cherokee, and Osage Indians, then inhabit- 
 ing the territory he explored. It is in the Appendix, however, that he has 
 grouped, more particularly, his observations regarding the Indians. Section 
 
 . I. pp. 247 to 267, is entitled, " An Account of the Ancient Aboriginal popu- 
 lation of the banks of the Mississippi." Section II. is headed, " The History 
 of the Natchez," and occupies pp. 268 to 282 ; and Section III. pp. 283 to 
 294, has the subject title, " Observations on the Chickasaws and Cherokees." 
 The author was so capable, by his long scientific culture, of affording us the 
 most valuable contributions to ethnology and philology, that it is much to 
 be regretted that the manuscripts of which he speaks in the Preface have 
 never been published. " Not wishing to enlarge the present publication, I 
 reserve for a subsequent volume which will shortly be issued, ' A general 
 View and Description of the Aboriginal Antiquities of the Western States,' 
 and some ' Essays on the Languages of the Western Indians.' The .surveys 
 and collections towards a history of the aboriginal antiquities, have remained 
 unpublished in my possession for several years." Cannot some persevering 
 and fortunate antiquarian unearth these treasures ; the means of putting 
 them before the world would not long be wanting.

 In this biographical and bibliographical essay, Dr. O'Callaghan gives brief 
 sketches of the writers of the relations or reports, to their superior, of the 
 Jesuit missionaries among the Indians of New York and Canada. It also 
 contains a synopsis of the contents of each Eelation known to him, and on the 
 last leaf, a Table showing the date and present owner of the copies, which he 
 ascertained to be in existence. Dr. O'Callaghan enumerates only forty ; of 
 which Mr. J. C. Brown had thirty-six, Harvard College thirty-five, H. C. 
 Murphy twenty-nine. Each of these libraries have increased their number, 
 and of the forty-eight now known to exist, Mr. Murphy has secured all but 
 three. Of all the objects of bibliographical acquisitions, there is none so 
 difficvilt of completion as this. A perfect set of the Jesuit relations of the 
 missions to Canada, is not known to exist, although it is believed one could 
 be formed from the three collections named.

 As late as 1655, the Indians of New York were revenging the murderous 
 slaughter of four hundred of their countrymen at Pavonia, by that sanguin- 
 ary coward, Governor Kieft. The petition shows that three hundred of the 
 Dutch colony had been slam, and one hundred carried away captives. So 
 audacious had the fierce Indians become, that several of the Dutch had 
 been killed on the island of Manhattan ; and on one occasion sixty-four 
 canoes loaded with the savages had landed on the shore of the North River, 
 and before daylight, had filled the streets of New Amsterdam. The first 
 objects upon which the eyes of the astonished Dutchmen rested in the morn- 
 ing, were the crowds of savages to whose forbearance alone they owed their 
 lives. Only fifty copies of the work are said to have been printed.

 Sampson Occom was a Mohegan Indian, born 1723. He was the first Indian 
 pupil, of the celebrated Eleazer Wheelock, at his school in Lebanon, in 1742, 
 where he remained four years, graduating at the age of twenty-three. He 
 established a school among the Montauk Indians on Long Island, in 1755, 
 which he continued for ten years. Being ordained as a clergyman of the 
 Presbyterian church, he engaged as a missionary to the Oneida Indians for a 
 year when he sailed for England, where he preached, in the course of a year 
 and a half, nearly four hundred sermons. Wherever he spoke, the houses 
 were thronged. The contributions for his schools reached five thousand 
 dollars. On his return to America he again engaged as a missionary to the 
 Indian tribes of Connecticut and New York, in which service he continued 
 until his death in 1792. He was undoubtedly a zealous, pious minister, and 
 his preaching is described by those whose judgment is conclusive, to have 
 been more than ordinarily rational and eloquent. His sermon has been 
 many times reprinted.

 This minute and carefully written journal affords us many new particulars of 
 the life, manners, and customs of the savages of the Rocky Mountains, both 
 in their wild and semi-civilized state. The description of the success of the 
 mission of the unfortunate Dr. Whitman, who with his family were soon 
 afterwards massacred, is particularly interesting, as exhibiting the appar- 
 ently irreclaimable ferocity of some savage tribes, even by the influences of 
 Christianity.

 The extraordinary Indian chief whose visit is narrated in this account, de- 
 served a memoir of greater extent, and a wider celebrity than has been con- 
 ferred upon him. In his native forests, before communication from Christian 
 advisers had reached him, he conceived the design of personal moral reform. 
 To forward his purpose he visited the Quakers of Philadelphia, and as 
 vouchers for his sincerity, he brought three white prisoners, and several 
 stolen horses he had purchased from hostile tribes, after long joui'neys un- 
 dertaken in search of them. His speeches to the Friends are models of good 
 sense and religious conviction ; but the most remarkable of all the numerous 
 addresses by American Indians, was made by him to the Governor, who 
 offered him a considerable, and to the chief very valuable amount of goods, 
 as a present. The dignified and noble reply, in which he declined to receive 
 them, on the ground that his visit was entirely for religious instruction, and 
 therefore of too sacred a character to admit of the gross indulgence of per- 
 sonal desires, is worthy of a place on the same page with the most renowned 
 sayings of the heroes of antiquity. The book is of considerably rarity.

 Mr. Patterson's work is a very good compilation of the narratives, histories,

 portion of that material described by the author as " Not heretofore pub-

 esting details and to have availed himself of such information as could be 
 derived from the actors in the scenes he describes, or their immediate de- 
 scendants.

 First published at Albany, 1838, with the addition, after the sixth line of the 
 title, of "Performed in the years 1835, 36, and 37." "A leading object of 
 this Exploration," the author announces in his preface, " was to become ac- 
 (juainted with the situation of the remote Indian Tribes, and their disposition 
 in regard to teachers of Christianity." This part of the duties was exceed- 
 ingly well performed by an intelligent and discriminating man. The author's 
 personal experience among the nomads of the plains, the root-diggers of the 
 mountains, and the fish-eaters of the western slope, is given with sufficient 
 detail to attract our interest, and with such evident adherence to fidelity of 
 narration as to acquire our confidence and belief. In all the qualities which 
 a Mstorian would require, it has few equals. The author indeed anticipates 
 the requirements of his day, and furnishes the philologist with a vocabulary 
 of four Indian tongues, extending over sixteen pages (401 to 416).

 The accomplished author of Conspiracy of Pontiac ; Jesuits in America ; and 
 Pioneers of New France, caught in the experiences recorded in this volume, 
 the incentive which led his researches in the direction of aboriginal life. Mr. 
 Parkman had all the genuine love of adventure of a frontiersman, the taste 
 for the picturesque and romantic of an artist, and the skill in narration of an 
 accomplished raconteur. It is not too high praise of his work to say, that his' 
 pictures of savage life are not excelled by the narratives which had their birth

 respect. While he brought all the zeal of an antiquary, and the refinements 
 of education to his researches, he lived in the wigwams and tents of the 
 savages, and endured all the hardships of a hunter's evcry-day struggle for 
 existence. His hook is crowded with descriptions of Indian life, of which we 
 have heard but one fault expressed, — that they are narrated with a mocking 
 tone thiit tiintalizes the sober reader with the suspicion that the author is 
 covertly laughing at him.

 The charm which Mr. Parkman's books assert on the attention of every reader, 
 is not wholly derived from the delicious style of his writing. His perfect 
 knowledge of Indian life and manners, acquired by personal experience, and 
 his exhaustion of the literature of his subject, as it is found in printed works, 
 unedited manuscripts, and authenticated tradition, give new interest to a sub- 
 ject so often illustrated as the life of the Ottawa chief Subsequent researches, 
 elicited doubtless by Mr. Parkman's work, have brought new material to 
 light, but it adds little to the historical value of his history.

 Throughout the whole of this splendid work, the characteristics of the Esqui-

 writer. The last seventy-nine pages are entirely devoted to the subject of 
 the aboi'igines of the Arctic lands, under the sub-title of " Some Further Ac- 
 count of the Esquimaux of Melville Peninsula," fourteen of which are occu- 
 pied with a vocabulary, in double columns. Of the thirty-two beautifully 
 engraved copperplates, twenty-two are illustrative of the "Domestic Life oi 
 the Esquimaux," their fishing and walrus-hunting, their boats, summer 
 tents, winter huts, villages, modes of ti-avelling, building and hunting, in- 
 terior of their dwellings, their villages, music, charts of the coast drawn by 
 Esquimaux, implements of hunting, and portraits of characteristic individ-

 Alexander Paton has the testimony of the minister of the kirk of his native 
 village, in Scotland, to the veracity of his statements. At the period of his 
 return from captivity, he was twenty years of age. The leading facts of the 
 barbarous massacre of his captain and shipmates had reached his native 
 land, some time before his escape. The narrative of his captivity, the murder 
 of his comrades by the Indians, and of his escape, is told with the simple style 
 of truth, and affords us a new view of the character of the natives of the 
 coast of Brazil.

 in which he and his father, who accompanied him, suffered

 the various nations through which they passed. Edited by

 The narrative of Pattie's expedition and captivity has more than the ordinary 
 interest and value, which attaches to the stories of adventurers. He crossed 
 
804f Indian Bihliogrdphy. 
 
 the continent of America on a route which his party were the first to pursue. 
 He encountered tribes of Indians who then saw a white man for the first 
 time, and his narrative has the merit of being given in a candid, unexag- 
 gerated style, which impresses us with its veracity. The story of the perilous 
 expedition, the frightful extremities to which his party were reduced, the 
 fights with the savages, and his final capture, are all narrated with spirit and 
 candor.

 The sanguinary wretches of Pennsylvania, who have been pilloried before the 
 world under the title of " Paxton-Men," thought it necessary to print their 
 defense against the charges of monstrous cruelty and cowardice, made by 
 Franklin in his Massacres of Indians at Lancaster, These fastidious mur- 
 derers slaughtered a number of inoffensive Christian Indians, out of revenge 
 for the outrages committed by their savage brethren, whom these cowardly 
 frontiersmen teared to encounter. Tliis tract is their attempted exculpation, 
 but it has hitherto only monumented their own infamy.

 The author was familiar with the scenes, as well as many of the actors in the 
 Wyoming tragedy, for a period of forty years commencing with 1820. He 
 was thus enabled to glean many particulars regarding the Indians, the pio- 
 neers and their bloody skirmishes, which had escaped the eager inquiries of 
 Chapman, Miner, and Stone. Beside the numerous anecdotes and incidents 
 obtained from the lips of the survivors of the massacre, he had the good for-

 At page 89, of Vol. II., the Abbe has made a division of his work, which he 
 entitles " Observations on the Straits of Magellan, and on the Patagonians." 
 This is the only part of the two volumes which entitles it to a place in our 
 category of works on the aborigines, and is very meagre in its details. A

 The narrative of the enterprising but ill-fated Perouse, is full of interest in all 
 portions, but his relations of the peculiarities he obsei-ved in the natives of 
 the northwest coast of North America, are especially valuable in portraying 
 their manners at that earlv day. He occupies chapters vii. to xi. pp. 354 
 to 470, almost entirely with descriptions of the appearance, disposition, 
 and habits of the Indians of the coast tribes. On pp. 408 to 411, he gives a 
 specimen of their music, a short vocabulary, and analysis of their lan- 
 guage. Another brief vocabulary, and treatise on the language of the In- 
 dians of California, may be found on pp. 467 to 469. The folio of plates, 
 Nos. 21-23 and 24, are illustrative of characteristics of the natives of Port 
 St. Francais, on the northwest coast of America.

 This work in any condition, ranks among the rarest of New England im- 
 prints, while a perfect copy with good margin, is very difficult to obtain. 
 More than one collector would be glad to obtain it at even more than one 
 hundred dollars. In this copy is a MS. note. " The Rev. N. M. wrote to 
 his brother Rev. Increase Mather a letter received August 12, 1685. 'A 
 good friend and near Relation of mine, one Mr. Rich' Lot, merch't in Lon- 
 don, who married my sister Thompson, desires me to write in behalf of this 
 gentleman ye bearer his kinsman, Mr. Penhallow of Falmouth in Cornwall, 
 who designs to spend a year or two in New England, in your coUedge, for 
 ye prfecting his learning," (from the original MSS. J. W. T.). The author 
 was born in Cornwall, England, July, 1665, and arrived in Portsmouth, New 
 Hampshire, July 1686. He held many important offices of public trust with 
 great honor, being chief justice of the Province, at the period of his death, in 
 December, 1 726, at the age of sixty-one. His work on the Indian wars is 
 esteemed as the highest authority on that subject. His design in emigrating 
 was to seiTe the corporation for the propagation of the gospel among the 
 Indians, as a missionary, after he had made himself acquainted with their 
 language. Whether he ever really performed that service is uncertain. His 
 MS. diary kept with great care, and covering a great portion of his life, was 
 destroyed in the conflagration of Portsmouth, 1802.

 Chapters xxix. to xl., pp. 257 to 364, the author has entirely devoted to the 
 narration of his observations on the Indians, then inhabiting the territory he 
 visited. Chapter lii., pp. 456 to 472, is entitled, " Life of George Augustus 
 Bowles, an Englishman, who abandoned civilization to become chief of the 
 Creek Nation. The life of this worthy was printed in a small duodecimo 
 volume, in England, whither he had gone to negotiate some treaty for his 
 tribe. 
 
 The volume contains the narration of the personal experience of a traveller 
 whose curiosity was not sated with what he saw, but who sought from books 
 the particulars he did not himself observe, and thus fills out the form of 
 which he himself observed but the mere outlines. Although there is little 
 produced that is new, the author gives it to us in a pleasing and readable 
 style, and thus, without adding iriuch to our stock of information, makes that 
 we already possessed more available.

 The engraved title-page has portraits of St. Brandon, and Father Buell, on 
 either side of the text. The latter personage accompanied Columbus in his 
 Becond voyage. The title is sometimes an inch or two longer than the 
 volume, and folded back, or torn away below the date, in which last condi- 
 tion, but little would appear to be missing. There is however in this por- 
 tion an oval engraving of the two continents, on each side of which is a 
 medallion cut. Most of the large folding-plates have numerous figures of 
 the aborigines, exhibited in some stately pageant of homage to the discover- 
 ers and evangelists, or in ahorrid festival of cannibalism, or in some appalling 
 scene of massacre and torture perpetrated upon them. A curious biblio- 
 graphical history attaches to this volume. The real name of the author was 
 Caspar Plautus, who assumed the pseudonym of Philoponus, in order to 
 admit of one of the most extraordinary devices of egotism, ever contrived. 
 
310 Indian Bibliography. 
 
 He wrote a most falsome piece of flattery, and in his character of Philoponus, 
 dedicated it to himself, in his own proper cognomen. By this device, his 
 worli, everywhere it was read, advertised the merit and learning of Caspar 
 Plautus, and the praise seemed vastly more important, as issuing from so 
 learned a person as Philoponus. Mr. Henry Stevens first called the atten- 
 tion of English scholars to this curious chapter in the history of egotism. 
 The work contains the relations of the first Catholic missionaries to the 
 Indians of America, some of whom accompanied Columbus in his second 
 voyage, and has the merit of affording us many incidents of their work 
 among the savages of the first discovered islands. It is deformed, however, 
 by nearly as many monkish tales of the miracles performed by them, on 
 most wliimsical occasions. 
 Father Buell, whose labors among the Indians the work principally com- 
 memorates, was a Benedictine monk of Montserrat, a man of learning and 
 piety, chosen by their Catholic Majesties Ferdinand and Isabella to preach 
 in the New World. Pope Alexander VI. decorated him with the pallium 
 of Vicar-general in America, of which he is regarded as the first patriarch. 
 Accompanied by two priests of his order, he embarked with Columbus in 
 1493. After his arrival in America, he formed one of the wretched cabal 
 against the immortal Admiral, and went to Spain, in order to appear against 
 him. He never retumed to America. The author of this work on the dis- 
 covery of the New World, and the first missions among its natives by the 
 evangelists of the order of St. Benoit, was a monk in the convent of Seitten- 
 stoet, in lower Austria.

 On the thirty-four folio pages of engravings, will be found seventy-five plates, 
 illustrating the religious rites, amatory customs, funeral ceremonies, habita- 
 tions, utensils, and weapons of various nations of American aborigines. 
 
 They are mostly copied from those in the celebrated series of De Bry, and 
 are engraved with equal excellence of art. They are indeed so finely exe- 
 cuted, both in the drawing and engraving, that there are few plates even at 
 this day which excel them. Unfortunately the artist followed the fashion 
 of his time, and represented the American savages with the Caucasian com- 
 plexion and features. Pages 1 to 73 are occupied with a " Dissertation on 
 the Natives of America." Pages 74 to 2U are devoted to a " Description of 
 their Customs." Plates 1 to 15 are illustrative of the " Customs of the In- 
 dians of Florida, Virginia, and Canada."

 organs never used iii civilized speech, has caused each writer to record his 
 conception of them, in an arbitrary manner, which perhaps no other person 
 would accurately comprehend. This has produced the greatest variety of 
 orthosraphical forms, of the same Indian words. Wo are utterly unable at 
 this day to recognize a single Indian nation, whose name is recorded by 
 Cabepa de Vaca, in 1542. Mr. Pickering in his essay sought to remedy this 
 defect by assuming certain diacritical signs, by the omission of C. J. Q. X. 
 and by additional consonants, formed from combinations of oiir own. What 
 hope, however, could Ije entertained of expressing by these means, the Maya 
 and other Mexican languages, in the enunciation of which the lips, teeth, 
 and tongue, have so little function, or in which the strong labial, dental, and 
 even nasal sounds are so seldom used ?

 This work is the record of personal examination of a great number of ancient 
 mounds and fortifications, and of the traditions regarding them, obtained 
 from an aged Sioux chief. The author was animated by an eager curiosity, 
 which unhappily was directed by no familiarity with science, and accordingly 
 what would otherwise have been really valuable results from his researches, 
 are rendered almost useless by their blending with baseless hypotheses, and 
 as unreliable traditions. If, however, read with care to discriminate between 
 the fanciful and the real, the book will ' be found to add a large fund of in- 
 formation to our stock of knowledge of aboriginal antiquities. His develop- 
 ment of Indian character is also not without interest, as it is the result of 
 personal intercourse with many individuals of different tribes. The numer- 
 ous plates afford very clear illustrations of many remains of Indian struct- 
 
 ures.

 that only the two noticed were ever engraved. Book I. is almost entirely 
 devoted to a description of the peculiar rites and ceremonies of the Indians 
 in New Grenada. The remainder of the work is largely occupied with the nar- 
 ration of battles with the natives, their work in the mines, their revolts, sub- 
 jugation, and their conversion. The work was composed during the resi- 
 dence of -the author at Madrid, from the MSS. of Gonzalez Ximenez de

 more to be regretted, as it relates to a portion of America of which we pos-

 This accomplished officer was the first explorer under the government of the 
 United States, of that vast portion of the republic now forming the States of 
 Arkansas, Texas, and New Mexico. His accounts of the principal features 
 of the country, and of the savage tribes which inhabited it, are accurate .ind 
 interesting. Six years after completing this tour, he was killed at Little 
 York, in Canada, by the explosion of a magazine in a fort, from which he 
 had just before driven the garrison by assault.

 " A Narrative of a Journey in the Prairie," occupies the first eighty pages of 
 the book. This tour, made in 1831, through the country of the Comanches, 
 and other Indian tribes, gives some interesting particulars of their life and 
 customs. The author, thirty years subsequently, organized and commanded

 [Descriptive and Comparative View of the Indian Languages of Mexico.] 
 The first volume of this- work is divided into twelve, and the second volume 
 into twenty sections, each with a bastard title, and devoted to an analysis 
 of one or more aboriginal languages, or dialects. Of these, forty-eight re- 
 ceive some attention, and most of them a critical examination. The pecul- 
 iarities of each in grammatical construction, enunciation, and the varied 
 particulars which distinguish them, are discussed with the skill of an intelli- 
 gent philologist. No work on the Indian languages of America exhibits the 
 tokens of more labor aided by learning than this, yet it is said by excellent 
 authorities to be far from perfect.

 This journal is the sequel to that printed by Charles Thompson, Secretary to the 
 Continental Congress, in his Enquiry into the Causes of the Alienation of the 
 Delaware and Shawnesse Tribe of Indians. It exhibits in a still stronger light 
 the intrepidity and self-devotion of this noble Quaker. Since the days of 
 Eegulus no more perilous mission has been undertaken liy a single man. 
 Braddock had been defeated, and eight hundred white soldiers slain. Forbes 
 was preparing for his invasion of the Indian territory. Pitiless massacre 
 reigned on both sides. Rewards that would have tempted all the fierce bor- 
 derers a year before, were oftcred in vain, until Christian Post, rejecting all 
 offers of comjjensation, and solely for ]H-nce and mercy's sake, set out upon 
 his mi.-.sion. Every step through the wilderness, the most appalling dangers 
 thickened around him. A hundred times were savage arms raised to destroy 
 him, and a hundred times by little less than miracles, the blows were averted.

 By his persuasions he detached the Ohio Indians' from the French interest,

 The publisher printed two sizes of this translation of Pouchot's memoir, 
 fifty-seven of the edition of two hundred copies being in large quarto. The 
 work is a faithful reproduction of the very minute journal of a French of- 
 ficer, engaged in the wars between the English Colonies and the French and 
 Indians, from 1755 to 1761. The work is evidently written by a gentleman 
 of education and intelligence, as an exculpation of himself, from some real or 
 fancied charges, regarding the loss of Canada to the French monarchy. His 
 work is full of the details of Indian warfare, the narratives of their skir- 
 mishes, and battles with the English, and of anecdotes and incidents of their 
 association with the French. A division of the work commencing at page 
 180 of Vol. II. and ending at page 261, is entitled "On the Customs and 
 Manners of the Indians of North America," in which the author more par- 
 ticularly relates the peculiarities of the natives of Canada.

 Book I., pp. 1 to 208, of Vol. III. is occupied with a " View of the Aztec 
 Civilization," which comprises a summary of the history of that race of 
 American aborigines, so far as the author's materials would furnish data, 
 without venturing upon the gloomy territory of Indian mythology. Mr. 
 Prescott made liberal use for this purpose of the MS. Relaciones of iTernando 
 de Alva Ixitlilxochitl, the native Aztec historian, a sketch of whose life has 
 been already given. The principal, and as Mr. Prescott asserts, the only 
 complete work of Ixitlilxochitl, is the Historia Chichemeca, printed in Span- 
 ish by Lord Kingsborough, in his great collection ; and by Ternaux in 
 French, in his voyages and travels. The remainder of the volumes, is prin- 
 cipally occupied with the narrative and incidents of the struggles of the war- 
 like Aztecs, with the Spanish invaders. Here the author treads on safer 
 ground, but his care in proving its firmness, step by step, has made us feel 
 secure, even in his anti-Cortesian history. 
 
 There is but one point at which we hesitate to follow his leading. With the 
 partiality of an author for his hero, he treats lightly the treachery of a 
 Christian general, who broke his most solemn oaths with the indifference of 
 a common swindler, who made the earth sodden with the blood of unresist- 
 ing and almost impotent victims, and who exterminated a tribe, or a nation 
 with equal indifference, to secure himself from the possible trouble of recon- 
 quering it. The English edition of Mr. Prescott's work is far superior to 
 the late American, as indeed are the earlier ones published in this country.

 Book. I., pp. 1 to 174 of Vol. I., is entitled, "View of the Civilization of the

 for authenticity, than any other treatise on this subject, hitherto esteemed so 
 mythical. Several contemporaneous authors who were familiar with the 
 most cultivated and intelligent Incas, have left their records of what they 
 learned from them. More than one of the Christianized Incarial race, has

 bequeathed his written history, and the correspondence of these independent 
 accounts, may be deemed ample fortification of their veracity. The Peru- 
 vian record of the knotted quipu, was decipherable only by one of those ini- 
 tiated from his youth in unraveling from them their mysterious narrative. 
 Anions- those whose voluminous MSS. have enabled Mr. Prescott to present 
 such a compiict, lucid, and authentic account of the conquest of Peru by the 
 Incas, and of their reign for two hundred years before they lost the enipire, 
 to the Spaniards, those of Sarmiento and Ondegardo excel in authenticity. 
 The first compiled a history of the ancient Peruvians, derived from such 
 materials as he obtained from the ancient Indian nobles and priests. Sar- 
 miento's History of the Government of the Incas, covers four hundred folio 
 pages of MS. The Relaciones of Ondegardo, occupying as much space as 
 the last, have never been printed, and are derived from the most intimate 
 and friendly relations, of a kind and prudent official, with the most learned 
 of the Incas. We have therefore the strongest reasons for crediting the 
 authenticity of Mr. Prescott's history.

 from sources more or less authentic. The present work is occupied princi-

 Indians. The "large and beautiful engraving "is a coarse wood-cut of 
 double-page size, exhibiting a fanciful scene of the massacre at Wyoming.

 be said, needy and unscrupulous author, would fill a volume of no mean 
 dimensions.

 Like all other expeditions by land to the Arctic Ocean, the success of this

 Esquimaux. In consequence, the volume is occupied to a great extent with 
 a detail of incidents associated with Indian life and habits. The methods 
 by which the hardy aborigines of the Arctic zone prolong their lives, which 
 are one long struggle with starvation and famine, their ci"aft and devices 
 in hunting and fishing, and many other particulars of their condition, are

 Insatiable zeal in pursuit of knowledge, and tireless industry, but he lived at 
 a period when ethnology had not crystallized into a science, and his reports 
 of bis own investigations have the appearance of crudeness and hypothesis. 
 To class him with the mere speculator upon science and history, would be 
 an act of injustice, as he was undoubtedly an original investigator. This 
 work first appeared as an introduction to Marshall's History of Kentucky. 
 Rafinesque added a table, abridged from a survey of nearly 500 languages 
 and dialects (principally found in Adelung), and printed a few copies in 
 this form. This ethnological and philological table, compares four princi- 
 pal words of fourteen Indian languages with thirty-four primitive Asiatic 
 and European dialects, and occupies two pages. Pages 1 to 26 arc occupied 
 with an examination of the period of the pre-Columbian history of the Abo- 
 rigines, and down to 1540; and pp. 27 to 31, with the annals of Aborigi- 
 nal history of Kentucky. The Appendix, pp. 33 to 37, is occupied with 
 an " Enumeration of the Sites of Ancient Towns and Monuments of Ken- 
 tucky," in which he describes 148 localities in that State alone, where he had 
 found Aboriginal remains. He says, " The actual number of ancient seats 
 of population, already ascertained by me in North America, is 541 , while 
 the ancient monuments found in these sites, amount already to 1830. I 
 entertain no doubt that 1,000 sites and 4,000 monuments, exist still in the 
 United States, exclusive of Mexico." JBoth Mr. Squier and Mr. Davis 
 informed the writer, that they believed 1 0,000 moimds and fortifications ex- 
 isted in the Mississippi Valley alone unexplored.

 This extraordinary mass of learning, hypothesis, and wretched moonings, is 
 not without its large share of utility, if one had the patience to separate the 
 veritable philological gold from the dross of conjecture. There seems to be 
 in some minds every quality for obtaining vast stores of learning, patient 
 investigation, rare scholarship, and admirable skill in research ; but so little 
 susceptible to the rigid control of logical selection, that their attainments 
 and discoveries are almost useless. These volumes are largely made up of 
 comparative vocabularies of Indian languages.

 The relation of his travels in Guiana, by Raleigh, is replete with curious 
 information regarding the savage tribes which inhabited the great Delta of 
 the Orinoco. It is made much more interesting, by the authentication of its 
 details by Sir Robert Schomburgh, who two and a half centuries subse- 
 quently, spent eight years in travel among these Indians.

 Almost the entire volume is filled with minute narratives of the Indian wars 
 with the Colonists. The author, one of the first-born citizens of the State 
 of Tennessee, found himself in 1820, by the death of his father, an early pio- 
 neer of the territory, in possession of a great mass of journals and papers 
 relating to its early history. His zeal added to these, the documents of 
 Governor Sevier and other public men. He sought out the old soldiers and 
 frontiersmen, and obtained from them both written and oral narratives of 
 border adventure. Most of these he reproduces in their original style and

 language. His history is therefore something more and better than the or- 
 dmary compilations, so styled. It is a mass of minute narrative material 
 relating to the Indians, the border wars, and the principal pioneers, moulded 
 into a consecutive and regular storj'. Although he has copied somewhat 
 from the rare book of Haywood, his work is almost wholly original, and 
 contains a vast amount of aboriginal history never before printed.

 A very considerable amount of valuable historic material has been grouped 
 in this, volume, relative to Mexican antiquities, but as in every treatise writ- 
 ten to maintain a fanciful hypothesis, its value is greatly deteriorated, from 
 the bias given every fact, to maintain a theory incapable of either proof or 
 denial.

 The original work printed in Portuguese, at Evora in 1557, of which this is 
 a translation, may perhaps be considered as the rarest work relating to 
 American history known to have been published. It was priced by Mr. 
 Rich, forty years since, at thirty guineas. The present work is believed to 
 have been translated from the edition in French, printed in Paris the year 
 before. Mr. Rich says the translator seemed to be unaware that Hakluyt 
 printed it in English, nearly eighty years previously, that is, in 1609. It is 
 interesting as being the second printed account of Florida, the Commen- 
 taries of Cabeca'de Vaca having been printed in 1555. The volume has an 
 additional value in containing the first relation of the settlement of Califor- 
 nia printed in English, the new descent of the Spaniards on the Island of 
 California having taken place in 1683. Both Relations are almost wholly 
 occupied with the ceremonies, treaties, and battles with the Indians.

 This is the most extraordinary and valuable collection of material, relating to 
 the history and life of the Indians ever'made. It is composed of the nan-a- 
 lives of a class of men who, two centuries before what we boastingly term 
 civilization, had prostrated the forests and exterminated their free occupants, 
 — explored the vast territories covered by them, recorded the peculiarities 
 of their natives, and in many instances bestowed the blessings of Chris- 
 tianity upon them. These relations, for many years looked upon through 
 the haze of sectarian distrust, were lightly esteemed by the students of 
 American history, but the more their character and statements Avcre investi- 
 gated, the more important and valuable they appeared. They have become 
 the sources from which we must draw almost all the historic material of New 
 York and Canada, during the first century and a half of their exploration 
 by Europeans. From the manuscript relations sent to the head of the order, 
 small editions were printed in 12° by the Cramoisy Press. Copies of these 
 have become exceedingly rare. It is not known that a perfect series exists 
 in any library, although several collectors have closely approached com- 
 pleteness. The library of the Canadian government at Quebec had nearly 
 the number forming the series, when its collection was destroyed in the great 
 conflagration of 1854. It was to perpetuate these monuments of the early 
 history of Canada, that Parliament ordered their publication in this form.

 The reports of the Indian bureau, and of the commissioner for Indian affairs, 
 form a body of material relating to the Indians, almost unrivaled for its 
 minuteness in any department of history. The names, numbers, and con- 
 dition of the Indian tribes, are given with all the attention to details and 
 correctness, which a multitude of agents more or less efiBcient, and some- 
 times conscientious, could be induced by interest and discipline to collect. 
 To no other source can we look for the progressive steps, by which the sav- 
 age tribes retreated before the overwhelming charge of the army of civiliza- 
 tion. The reports cover the whole his'tory of the dealings of the government 
 with its Indian wards. They have become exceedingly scarce, tor no com- 
 plete set is known to exist, even in the library of Congress or in the docu- 
 ments of the Indian Bureau.

 This report exposes another of those schemes of villany which the agents of 
 the goveiTimeut have been so fertile in producing. The details of carefully 
 planned delusions, by which the Indians were cheated of their lands ; of the 
 connivance of the government ; and of the bribed collusions of its commis- 
 sioner with other plundei-ers ; are so unifoiTO and so constant wherever the 
 Indian is concerned, as generally to lack the interest of novelty. In this 
 case the story is more revolting than usual. The United States commis- 
 sioner, Mr. Gillet (may his name be infamous), boldly announced himself 
 on the side of the robbers. These speculators had procured the signatures 
 of sixteen chiefs to their deed of cession, but when in the presence of the 
 infamous Gillet, sixty-three others desired to execute a protest against being 
 driven from their homes, he refused to permit them, and broke up the coun- 
 cil. This pamphlet is the report of a committee of the Legislature of Mas- 
 sachusetts, which had a year previously, ratified the deed thus villianously 
 procured. The committee report the facts with many civil regrets, that the 
 State should have been deluded into aiding the robbery of the Indians, and 
 recommend after the settled iashion of committees, that nothing be done. 
 Thus the State of Massachusetts received money which was the proceeds of 
 the robbery of two thousand Indians ; of their forced exclusion from their 
 homes, and declined to restore her share of the plunder.

 This is a reprint of the New York edition, in larger type, and extended to 
 eighteen pages more than the first edition. An abridged and interpolated 
 edition of the work, was printed in New York in 1808, entitled " The Poui- 
 ow, being an exact description of an Indian banquet, by John Rodes, thirteen 
 years Captive, ^c." It was a mean affair in every respect. There is noth- 
 ing in this narrative to attest its truth, and the internal evidence is not 
 sufficient to settle the question of its veracity. Without something more 
 definite than we now possess regarding its authenticity, it must remain 
 worthless for historical purposes. It contains some curious details of the 
 
 • customs of the Indians of Central America.

 The wonderful self-devotion of the Jesuit missionaries among the Indians, 
 during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, has of late years challenged 
 the admiration and astonishment of historical students who have discovered 
 the monuments of literary labor, raised by them in the translations of sacred 
 books into dialects almost unpronounceable by European organs. Not less 
 heroic and astonishing, are the devotion and labor of the modern avant-cour- 
 iers of Christianity and civilization, who like the author, turn their backs 
 on the soft enticements of the one, to diffuse the faith of the other among 
 barbarous nations. Mr. Kiggs, with the true spirit of an Apostle, not only 
 gave his life to the dissemination of religious truths, but added to these ex- 
 hausting duties, the task of constructing a monumental lexicon of the Dakota 
 tongue.

 This work was the result of toilsome research, by two learned gentlemen, Dr. 
 Tschudi, a German, long resident in Peru, and Dr. Biviero, a native of that 
 country. Their contribution to ethnological and philological science, has 
 been esteemed by the learned world among the most valuable, after that of 
 Humboldt, of those relating to South America. The first volume contain- 
 ing the text is divided into ten chapters, each discussing some phase in the 
 history, religion, civilization, arts, monuments, and language of the Incas. 
 Chapter v., pp. 86 to 128, is entirely devoted to an examination of the prin- 
 ciples and grammatical construction of the Quichua language; and on pp. 
 98 to 100 is a bibliography which gives the titles of sixteen printed works 
 in that language. 
 
 The second volume is an oblong folio of fifty-eight pages, containing more 
 than eighty plates, and representing more than twice th^t number of objects. 
 The structures of the Incas, both as now existing and as restored to their 
 original shape and dimensions, the mummied forms of the ancient inhab- 
 itants, their sacrificial and agricultural implements, are the subjects of these 
 finely executed lithographic plates. These are all colored. Dr. Tschudi 
 subsequently published a work which was translated into English, and 
 printed in London and New York, under the title of Travels in Peru, in 
 which slight evidences of jealousy of his associate appear.

 In this work, attributed to and claimed by De Rochefort, have been preserved 
 very many curious and interesting particulars of the life, habits, and char- 
 acter of the Caribs, more especially of the Apalachites. The last eighteen 
 chapters, pp. 344 to 583, are entirely devoted to the relation of these partic- 
 ulars, with a copious vocabulary of their language. But those relations 
 which are true, are said to have been purloined fi-om authors, whose personal 
 experience relieved them from the necessity of furnishing details from their 
 own imagination. Rochefort's Nemesis was John Davies of London, who in 
 1666 published a translation of the work, in which he utterly ignored the 
 existence of the ci-devant French author. 
 
 It did not suffice, however, that Davies should rob Rochefort of his stolen 
 laurels, but the partly fictitious, and partly abstracted materials of his work 
 were successively plundered by Ogilby, Montanus, Dapper, Oldmixon, and 
 a long heirship of literary thieves. There is something oddly fitting and 
 harmonious as well as ludicrous, that each of these marauders believed that 
 he was stealing the unadulterated gold of veracious history, from each of the 
 mendacious robbers who preceded him. 
 
 It is now certain that Rochefort appropriated the labors of a savant named 
 Du Tertre, whose name he utterly ignores. Davies levies upon Rochefort's 
 supposed original material, and Ogilby, equally ignorant that the whole of 
 the treasure had been purloined, absorbs it almost bodily into his great folio. 
 The stolen wealth is constantly being unlawfully transferred from hand to 
 hand. Mr. Rich relates the story of the original theft at length. Eather 
 Du Tertre, a missionary who had spent some years in the West Indies, wrote 
 a history of the Antilles, the manuscript of which was borrowed from a 
 friend with whom he had deposited it, by a general, for the inspection of an- 
 other friend who was preparing a work on the same subject. This unknown 
 author proved to be a Protestant clergyman of New Eochellc, named Roche- 
 fort, who had twice visited the islands. 
 
 On hearing of the unfaithful disposition of his labors, Eather Du Tertre, fear- 
 ing that his work would be anticipated by another, hurriedly brought it to 
 press, in 1 654, under the title of aistoire Generale des Isles de S. Christophe, 
 etc., which Mr. Rich says was in reality only a project of that work. The 
 work of Rochefort was printed in 1658, and his second edition in 1665. 
 Eather Du Tertre published the first two volumes of his Histoire Generale 
 des Antilles, in 1668, and the last two in 1671. In his preface to this work 
 he narrates the story of the loan of his manuscript and its appropriation by 
 Rochefort, affirming that it is so faithfully copied that even his errors have 
 not escaped, but have, in common with his facts, been stolen by the latter. 
 It was the fate of the second robber Davies to meet with retribution in a 
 double shape. His work was published in the same year with the great con- 
 flagration which consumed one half of London, and in it disappeared nearly 
 the whole edition of his history.

 The journal of this celebrated partisan chief affords ns many interesting de- 
 tails of border warfare, in the French and Indian War, which ended seventeen 
 years before the Eevolution. It was while associated with Rogers that Gen- 
 eral Putnam is said to have experienced those wonderful adventures, with 
 the relation of which our youthful nerves have so often thrilled. It is how- 
 ever remarkable, that Major Rogers does not even mention the name of 
 Putnam. The last page (347), is unnumbered and entitled, " Advertisement." 
 It announces a continuation, or second part of the journal, which never ap- 
 peared, as the subscriptions of a guinea a copy were probably not sufficiently 
 numerous.

 This historical essay, by the famous partisan officer and Indian fighter, al- 
 though by no means equal to his Journal in interest, is not without merit. 
 In the " concise account " of the several colonies, he mingles many particu- 
 lars of the Indian nations, but its especial interest is to be found in the sec- 
 tion of his volume devoted to the " Customs, Manners, and Government of 
 the Indians," pp. 205 to 264. These relations are the result of his own per- 
 sonal experience among the savages.

 Another of those wonderfully interesting narratives of human endurance, 
 triumphing over the most awful peril and suffering. The sumptuous print- 
 ing which makes every page a picture, has even its luxury enhanced by the 
 splendid steel engravings and lithographs. The former are so excellent as 
 to be worthy of preservation as gems of art. Although everywhere through 
 the narrative is interwoven the records of aboriginal life as it appeared to 
 the explorers, Chapters xvi., xvii., xviii., and xix. are especially devoted to 
 a desciiption of their peculiarities. Of the thirty plates seven are illustrative 
 of some phase, in the lives of the natives of the Polar regions.

 Illustration of, or referred to in the foregoing Letter." The documents arc 
 such as would emanate from few councils of white men, engaged in the dis- 
 cussion of such wrongs. A number of outcast Indians of no influence in 
 the nation, debauched with rum by designing whites, are by these swindlers 
 dubbed chiefs, and made to sign a treaty of surrender of all the lands of the 
 nation, in the presence of some of the United States authorities, parties to 
 the robbery, and by virtue of a conveyance so forged, twenty thousand land 
 proprietors are di-iven from their homes.

 Although the narratives by Ross Cox and Washington Irving, of the adven-

 seem to have left nothing to be said regarding it, yet the relation of the 
 personal experience of an intelligent and keen observer, such as the author 
 was, is always welcome. Chapters vi. to xxi., pp. 87 to 341, are almost 
 wholly devoted to descriptions of the peculiar habits and customs of the ten 
 tribes inhabiting the western slope of the Eocky Mountains. The Appendix, 
 pp. 342 to 350, is occupied with a vocabulary of the Chinooks.

 The narrations of an intelligent observer of the peculiarities of savage life, 
 always attract an amount of interest, which increases in proportion to the 
 truthfulness of his coloring or shading. In all the qualities which should 
 attract and hold our attention, it is rare to find the superior of Mr. Boss. 
 Tor fifteen years he traversed the wastes of the Rocky Mountains, and thus 
 became as familiar with every trait of Indian character and phase of savage 
 life, as a white man may ever expect to be. As an Indian trader pushing his 
 commerce among friendly but treacherous tribes, and even among hostile 
 ones who are to be placated by resistless finery, or the equally omnipotent 
 fire-water, he was often the first white man to burst upon their wild fast- 
 nesses. The Appendix, pp. 313 to 333, contains a vocabulary of the Nez 
 Perce language.

 After many years of toil and adventure among the fierce tribes of the north- 
 ern plains of Oregon and Washington territory, the author sought repose 
 among liis associates in the Red River Colony. The successive disasters of 
 massacre, famine, and inundation, drove him from this forlorn asylum, to 
 writing books descriptive of the wild people and wild life he had seen . All 
 of these works possess the unfailing mterest, which attach to the details of 
 an intelligent observer and a faithful narrator. His pictures are of savage 
 life and manners, as seen by the adventurous voyagers and fur-ti'aders of the 
 Hudson's Bay Company.

 We are assured by the author in his preface, that his work is a narration of

 Mexico, are painfully vivid. He passes for weeks through ruined villages,

 dian, until a territory as large as France, once subjected to law, and 
 thronged by active life, has been depopulated. Melancholy as the story is, 
 we read with perhaps not less regret, that the precious historical manuscripts 
 of New Mexico, discovered by Mr. Buxton, were irrecoverably lost by him 
 in crossing the Arkansas.

 This journal is a most complete relation of the character, peculiarities, and 
 habits of life of the Greenlanders, both savage and Christian. The simple 
 narrative of the every-day life of a missionary among the aborigines of the 
 Arctic regions, is told by an intelligent, brave-hearted man, in that most 
 pleasing of all styles, the natural, unaffected one, which carries conviction 
 of its vcritability.

 [Dictionary of the Huron Language, necessary to those who have no knowl- 
 edge of it, and have to treat with the Savages of the country.] 
 
 This work is occasionally found separate from the Grand. Vmjoge, and hav- 
 ing a distinct title and pagination, has, by some, been considered a com- 
 plete work, but its announcement on the title of the Grand Voyage, deter- 
 mines that question in the negative. It is said to have been the perusal of 
 this Dictionary, that induced Lord Monboddo to undertake his work on the 
 Origin and Progress of Language, but what book incited his theory, that 
 mankind had progressed from the monkey, by asserting that a savage nation 
 had been discovered with the rudiments of tails, is not stated. 
 
 Father Charlevoix speaks slightingly of Sagard's Dictionary, but his judg- 
 ment upon the histories of New France is commonly sharp and censorious. 
 Regarding Father Sagard, it is expressed in these words, " The author of 
 this work spent some time among the Hurons, and relates naively all that he 
 saw and heard on the spot, but he had not time to see things well enough, 
 still less to verify all that was told him. The Huron vocabulary which he 
 has left us, proves that neither he, nor any of those whom he consulted, was 
 well versed in that language, which is a very difficult one. In other re- 
 spects he seems a very judicious man. He gives us, on the whole, few inter- 
 esting facts." 
 
 Few who read Father Sagard's Grand Voyage and Histoire, will coincide with 
 Charlevoix in his severe judgment, regarding the interest of his history and 
 narrative. 
 
 Father Sagard, a member of the Recollects in Paris, was directed by a con- 
 gregation of his order to accompany Father Nicholas, in a mission to the 
 savages of New France. He sailed from Dieppe in the latter part of March, 
 1624, and arrived at Quebec after a voyage of three mouths and six days, 
 during which he endured such sufferings, that he says the whole of his life 
 has not equaled in pain. He proceeded at once to the scene of his mission 
 among the Hurons, one hundred and fifty leagues west of Quebec. Here he 
 remained but a few months, when it was determined to send him to Quebec, 
 for supplies. His fortitude was not equal to the emergency, and worn down 
 with the privations and sufferings of a missionary's life, he allowed himself 
 to be persuaded by his brethren that it was not his vocation. He accordingly 
 returned to his convent in Paris, where he wrote the work we have con- 
 sidered, and four years subsequently, produced his Histoire du Canada. 
 Both of these works were reprinted in Paris in 1864 and 1866. Copies of 
 the original editions of both these works are excessively rare, the Histoire du 
 Canada being much the most difficult to procure.

 This is the title of the original edition, which Mr. Tross has prefixed to the 
 first volume of his issue, and to each of which he gives a separate title, al- 
 though the pagination runs continuously tlirough the whole four. 
 
 The second and fourth parts of the Histoire du Canada, are little more than 
 extensions of the Grand Voyage and Dictionary. The travels and missionary 
 labors of the Recollects among the Indians of Canada, for nine years before 
 the arrival of Father Sagard, form tlie subject of Book I. The narrative of 
 his Grand Voyage to the Country of the Hwons, which appeared three years 
 before, is extended by additional particulars, from chapters xxii., in the edi- 
 tion of 1632, to xlvi. in Book II. of the Histoire du Canada. Book III. is a 
 reproduction of Part II. of the Grand Voyage, with new matter increasing it 
 from 85 to 135 pages. Book IV. contains the history of the Recollect mis- 
 sions to the end of 1629. The dictionary of the Huron language, which 
 formed a part of Sagard's first work, is exactly reproduced in the Histoire, 
 together with four pages of what he styles, an Indian hymn to the devil, 
 with the musical notes of the drone or howl in which it was chanted. Mr. 
 Tross has added to his edition, a brief sketch by M. Chevalier, of the Recol- 
 lect missions, and a critique upon the works of Father Sagard, in which he 
 arraigns Charlevoix with great severity, for his harsh judgment of them. 
 M. Chevalier asserts with much reason, that Father Charlevoix, writing 
 one hundred years after Sagard, could himself know little of the Huron lan- 
 guage, as the people speaking it had in his time been long extinct as a 
 nation, and the dialect of the few who remained much corrupted.

 This work is a second and enlarged edition of Scenes in the Rocky Mountains. 
 The author says in his preface, that this work was written immediately after 
 his return from the expedition, the events of which he narrates. He claims 
 for it a veritahility of which there is some internal evidence. It is much 
 deformed by the spasmodic style he adopts, and the sentimental rhapsodies 
 he indulges in, but it is crowded with incidents of Indian life, legends, and 
 adventure.

 Sagean was a Frenchman, possessed of considerable zeal and ambition, to 
 rival La Salle, but so ignorant as to be unable to write, and scarcely to read 
 his own language. He had doubtless visited some nations of Indians, living 
 on the eastern tributaries of the Mississippi, but he was looked upon as an 
 impostor, when he asserted that he had found a nation of cannibals on the 
 Missouri, whose country abounded in gold mines. The late discoveries in 
 Nevada and New Mexico, give a greater air of probability to his story. The 
 manuscript of this hitherto unprinted narrative, was discovered at Paris, by 
 Mr. Squier.

 This wonderful work, to which the entire life of Father Sahagun was de- 
 voted, is beyond question the most important, as it is the most authentic 
 history of events, transpiring in the New World, before its discovery by 
 Columbus. All that relates to the religion, customs, government, and wars 
 of the Aztecs, was examined in a manner so critical, so patient and thorough 
 that no history was ever conceived, or brought forth with more labor. Ber-

 toil, even among the great number of pious and devoted men, who sought 
 to redeem the New World from paganism, he resigned all the high functions 
 his merit had procured him, after some years of service, in oider to devote 
 himself entirely to preachinj;, and to the examination of every Aztec picto- 
 graph and hieroglyph, which would illustrate the history of that race. To 
 secure the greatest accuracy in his history, he lived for several years in an 
 Indian village of Tescuco, where resided many of the learned natives, who 
 had never been taught the Spanish tongue. Every day he examined some 
 of them, regarding their antiquities, and their pictograph paintings. He 
 arranged long series of questions regarding their ancient history, which they 
 answered by writing their replies in their hieroglyphic style. To assure him- 
 self of the authenticity of his version of their answers, he submitted them 
 to natives who had been educated at the College of Santa Cruz. These 
 scholars wrote their translation of the hieroglyphic history, in the Mexican 
 tongue, but with the use of Roman letters. These translations witli the 
 pictograph originals, were then subjected to revisal, by another body of 
 learned Mexicans, educated in the Spanish language. After thirty years of 
 almost incredible labor, he submitted his work to the brethren of his order, 
 but the bigotry which had destroyed almost every vestige of Aztec literature, 
 now opposed the terrible barrier of the churchmen's disapprobation. The 
 superior of his order seized his manuscripts, separated them, and sent the 
 fragments to the several convents in Mexico. It was several years before 
 Sahagun could procure an order for their restoration. His history, when he 
 was eighty years of age, was still written only in the Mexican tongue, and 
 ho now commenced the labor of translation into Spanish. The manuscript 
 in two great folios, with the two versions of Mexican and Spanish, in paral- 
 lel columns, was sent to Madrid, where it slept unheard of for more than 
 two hundred years. First brought to light by Munoz, who discovered it in 
 a convent of Tolosa, in Navarre, it was first published in Mexico in these 
 three volumes, by Bustamente, and the next year by Lord Kingsborough in 
 his sixth volume. Some of the work, as it left the hands of Sahagun, has 
 been lost, and among other parts which met this fate, are the hieroglyphic 
 paintings which accompanied the text, and eighteen Aztec hymns. Sahagun 
 died in Mexico in 1590, nearly ninety years of age. The second work of 
 Sahagun was published for the first time in 1 829, as a fourth volume of the 
 Historia General. It was printed separately in Mexico, 1840. The MS. of 
 a third work was found in Mexico, by Beltrami. It is entitled, Evangdia- 
 riuvif Epistolarium et Lectionarum Aztecum. It is declared to be a transla- 
 tion of the Gospels and Epistles, into Nathuatl. It was edited by Bion- 
 delli who added a vocabulary in Latin and Nathuatl.

 The mystery which surrounded the authorship, history, and origin of this 
 very rare volume, has been slowly dispelled by successive fragments of infor- 
 mation. So few copies have survived the holocaust to which it was devoted, 
 that its very existence was unlinown to the most zealous collectors of In- 
 dian and Vermont history. Published anonymously, without preface, it 
 was known to but few that the author was the Rev. Daniel Clark Sanders, 
 President of the University of Vermont. Immediately after its appearance, 
 some person, evidently a personal enemy of the author, published an acri- 
 monious critique upon the book, in the Liberal and Philosophical Keposiiary. 
 The animus of the critic was evidenced, not only by the bitterness of his 
 language, but by his ignorance of the subject of Indian wars, being more 
 profound than that of the author of the book he scored. Such was the 
 effect of the article upon either Mr. Sanders, or the publishers, that the work 
 was suppressed. But very few copies could have escaped the hands that 
 were now as zealous to destroy, as they had lately been to create. In fact, 
 so nearly complete was the destruction of the book, that it was forgotten by 
 those who professed to know most of its author, his biographers. Neither 
 Thompson, Williams, or Hemmenway, who published memoirs of him, men- 
 tion his authorship of the Indian wars,

 Vol. II. of this narrative, gives us the first account of the Russian exploration 
 of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. It is very intei-esting, as affording us 
 a view of the peculiarities of the savages of that portion of the United States 
 at their first communication with the whites. It is very minute in its de- 
 scription of such of the ceremonies, manners, and life of the aborigines as fell 
 under the observation of the author, a very frank and honest narrator.

 celebrated than the Indian apostle, John Eliot, was not less saintly in his 
 character, possessed equal accomplishments and learning, and performed far 
 more labor as a missionary and a philologist. For more than sixty years, 
 commencing in 1744 and terminating in 1 808, Zeisberger lived among the 
 Delaware, Shawnese, and Iroquois Indians, or was associated with their in- 
 terest. He resided for three years at Onondaga, the site of the council-fire 
 of the Six Nations, nearly half a century before the arrival of the first white 
 settlers. He was often employed on long and dangerous journeys, as an 
 ambassador to distant tribes, and in every capacity in which a vigorous, in- 
 telligent, and humane man could be engaged, he exhausted his powers of 
 endurance, to be useful. He was reverenced by the fiercest and most vin- 
 dictive of the Pagan tribes, not only with the religious awe of an apostle, 
 but almost with that due to a celestial being. He found savage nations at 
 war with each other, and with the civilized hordes which were closing ai-Ound 
 them, and he soothed their angry warriors with the words of peace and 
 divine love. He saw his converts living in Christian communities, slaugh- 
 tered in a horrible massacre, which that of St. Bartholomew excelled only in 
 its magnitude. He translated the sacred writings into the languages of the 
 Indian tribes, among whom he labored, and painfully elaborated their harsh 
 and difficult tongues into a grammatical system. Born in Moravia, 1721, 
 he emigrated to America in 1739, and died at New Philadelphia in 1808. 
 During the greater part of his sixty years of residence among the aborigines, 
 Zeisberger and his fellow missionaries, wrote voluminous journals of the 
 incidents of their every-day life, and complete reports of everything asso- 
 ciated with the Indians which fell under their observation. These manu- 
 scripts amounting to many thousand pages, as the author assui'es us, are 
 still presei-ved, and have formed the basis of his work. Zeisberger's printed 
 works may bo found under the following titles : —

 phia, 1776.

 8. Verbal Biegunrjen, or Delaware Conjugations, Leipzig, 1821. 
 
 The Manuscript works of Zeisberger, are much more numerous than his 
 printed books. Those deposited in the library of the American Philosoph- 
 ical Society in Philadelphia, are, — 1 . Deutsch und Onondaisches Worterbuch, of 
 Dictionary of the German and Onondaga Languages, in seven vols. 
 
 2. Onondaga, and German Vocabulary. 
 
 3. Essay, toward an Onondaga Grammar. 
 
 4. Onondagaische Grammatica, a complete grammar of the Onondaga lan- 
 guage. This was translated into English by Peter S. Duponceau. This 
 version also remains in manuscript in the same library. The library of Har- 
 vard College was presented with fourteen manuscript works of Zeisberger, 
 on the Indian languages, by Edward Everett. These massive monuments 
 of the labor and zeal of this eminent scholar and missionary, would form 
 the worthy object of a Zeisberger Society to translate the German text into 
 English, and print a series of volumes, as a testimony of the services of a 
 great and good man.

 A French translation of Schmidel's narrative, printed by Temaux-Compans, 
 as number five of his collection of Voyages, Relations, et Memoires. 
 
 This first Latin edition, translated from the German of 1567, is much the 
 most desirable, as it contains many corrections of errors, and is unabridged. 
 
 Ulrich Schmidel, the author of this narrative, was a common soldier who ac- 
 companied Mendoce and Cabepa de Vaca in their conquest of the countries 
 south of Brazil. His history bears internal evidence of veracity, which is 
 further attested by contemporaneous accounts. Its pages are one continuous 
 record of massacre and enslavement of the Indians. Of the fifty-five chap- 
 ters, eleven are descriptive of these battles or rather slaughters. Two we 
 rejoice to read, because they narrate some considerable retributive killing of 
 the Spaniards by the Indians. Thirteen chapters are filled with descriptions 
 of the various tribes and nations he encountered. Ternaux published this 
 work translated into French in his collection of voyages, with many correc- 
 tions of names. Not the least of its interest to us is contained in his ac- 
 count of the character, adventures, and imprisonment of Cabefa de Vaca.

 A large portion of this volume is devoted to descriptions of scenes in Indian

 as incidents, illustrative of the character of the aboriginal tribes which passed 
 under his own observation. All of the last four chapters, pp. 337 to 4.59, 
 are occupied with descriptions of ceremonies and incidents he witnessed, at- 
 tending the treaty with the Ottawas, Pottawatomies, and Chippewas. Anec-

 The term Algic was invented by Mr. Schoolcraft, to indicate the Algonquin 
 race. He composed it from the first and final syllables of Alleghany and 
 Atlantic. He distinguishes the intruding tribes, into the vast territory cov- 
 ered by the nations of this race, as Ostic, vfhich includes the Iroquois and 
 Wyandots. He asserts the authenticity of these legends, by declaring that 
 they were written down from the lips of the Indian raconteurs, during an 
 intimate association with various tribes for seventeen years. There has 
 not a little corroborative evidence in their favor, accumulated in the inter- 
 vening forty years since their recording, by finding them rehearsed essen- 
 tially identical, by other tribes to other recorders.

 This is a much more pretentious but less valuable work than his official re- 
 port on the same subject. It was intended to be a popular reproduction of 
 the material embodied therein, but the substitution of a narrative history, 
 based upon and composed of hypothesis, for substantial facts, even in the 
 unattractive form of an official document, does not compensate for the lack 
 of the solid structure of history.

 This is the most valuable of Mr. Schoolcraft's works, having been executed 
 after personal examination in an official capacity of all the tribes inhabiting 
 New York. There is an almost entire absence of the speculative and senti- 
 mental cogitations which so greatly marred his works. Section I. is entitled 
 " Historical and Ethnological Minutes, made in taking the Census of the 
 Iroquois 1845," commences at p. 25, and with Sections II. to X. embracing 
 every item of the history, traditions, biography, antiquities, and statistics of 
 the Iroquois, he was able to collect, occupy the volume to p. 190. The 
 particulars of the census returns, fill pp. 191 to 202. An appendix extend- 
 ing to p. 285 is filled with letters from persons resident or familiar with the 
 various Indian tribes, conveying minute and doubtless truthful information 
 regarding them.

 This volume is a reproduction of Algic Researches, printed in 1839, with some 
 additions. Mr. Schoolcraft was not the only claimant for the honor of 
 bringing to Mr. Longfellow's notice the Indian legends, from which the poet 
 derived the foundation of his beautiful poem. Mr. Clark traces its origin to 
 the Onondagas, the central tribe of the Iroquois. The legend by which the 
 Indians accounted for the possession of that king of cereals, the Maize, was 
 one of the most wide-spread and universal of all aboriginal myths. It would 
 not be as difficult a^ many other propositions regarding the Indians, to trace 
 it through almost every tribal organization in North America.

 Two editions of this work were published by the same house. One on thinner 
 and somewhat smaller paper, of which, however, only five volumes were 
 printed, and the edition is therefore incomplete. Schoolcraft's work was in- 
 tended to be a great encyclopaedia of infoimation relating to the American 
 Aborigines. With great earnestness, some fitness for research, and a good 
 degree of experience of Indian life, Mr. Schoolcraft had but little learning 
 and no scientific training. In consequence, his six volumes are little more 
 than a magazine, of such matter relating to the Indians as fell to his hand, 
 including a rehash of all which he had before written and printed in numer- 
 ous other forms. Badly arranged, and selected as it is, the work contains a 
 vast mass of really valuable material. It has indeed performed a very im- 
 portant service for Indian history, in collecting and preserving an immense 
 amount of historic data. Vocabularies of Indian languages, grammatical 
 analyses, legends of various tribes, biographies of chiefs and warriors, narrar 
 tives of captivities, histories of Indian wars, emigrations, and theories of 
 their origin, are all related and blended in an extraordinary and perplexing 
 manner. A very large number of beautiful steel engravings, representa- 
 tive of some phase of Indian life and customs, are contained in the work, 
 but the most valuable of its illustrations are the drawings of weapons, 
 domestic utensils, instruments of gaming and amusement, sorcery and medi- 
 cine, objects of worship, their sculptures, paintings, and fortifications, picto- 
 graph writing, dwellings, and every form of antiquities, which have been 
 discovered. The six volumes contain 336 full-page plates, representing 
 thousands of the scenes and objects named.

 This well written narrative, purporting to be only tlie biography of a captive 
 among the Senccas, is really the best resume we have of incidents in the 
 histoi'y and common life of the Seneca Indians. Its truthfulness is vouched 
 for by such veracious testimony as that of Eli Parker, an cduciited chief of 
 that nation, though its authenticity can scarcely have greater corroboration 
 than the fact that Mr. Seaver received almost the whole mass of incidents 
 narrated in his book, directly from the lips of the aged captive herself. A 
 portion of the book which future ethnologists will highly prize, is contained 
 on pp.300 to 312, where the Indian names of nearly 400 localities, in the 
 State of New York, are given, with their English significations.

 the feeble character of the evidence by which they were convicted and exe- 
 cuted, only renders the horrible crime of murdering these men appear still 
 more atrocious. Arbuthnot was a warm friend of the Seminoles, who as his 
 intelligence discerned, were soon to be swept away by the encroachments 
 and jealousy of the planters. He was guilty, at most, of endeavoring to 
 save his Indian friends from extermination, and while in a foreign territory 
 advising them what measures to pursue for their safety.

 This volume narrates the adventures of several English settlers on the Pam- 
 pas, of the Argentine Republic, who suffered many hardships and losses, 
 from the incursions of the equestrian savages of the plains. The narrative 
 affords us many particulars of some of the least knovpn tribes of South 
 America, whose barbarities in their depredations are narrated in a manner 
 so vivid and circumstantial, as to insure the interest of every reader.

 Beside the valuable relations, which afford us the first accounts of the Indian

 the Mississippi, Mr. Shea has added notes, biographical sketches, and bib-

 be overestimated. The relationa are preceded by a biography of Father 
 Marquette, and a notice of the Sieur Joliet. The narratives of Fathers 
 Membre, Douay, and Hennepin are also preceded by a bibliographical notice 
 of Father Le Clercq's works, in pp. 78 to 82 ; and another similar account of 
 Father Hennepin's works may be found on pp. 99 to 106. The last named 
 author is treated by the editor with marked disesteem, but I believe his later 
 convictions tend more favorably to the integrity of Hennepin, in what he 
 actually wrote. Numerous editions of that author's works seem to have 
 been printed without his connivance, and the unscrupulous publishers en- 
 larged and abridged them at will. They made poor Hennepin the jjack- 
 horse to bear anything they wished to say, however foreign to his designs, 
 and he is thus held responsible for much perhaps which he would have dis- 
 claimed. _ . 
 All the relations, narratives, and notes in this volume are filled with the most 
 interesting details of the Indians, at a period when many of them for the 
 first time, beheld the white foreigners in the persons of the missionaries and 
 explorers.

 The Onondagas were the central tribe of the Six Nations, and in some re^ 
 spects the most important, as the records of the confederation were kept by 
 them, and all its great assemblies were gathered around the council-fire, kept 
 ever burning at Onondaga. They early attracted the attention of the Jesuit 
 missionaries, and more than one of those who are known to have suffered 
 martyrdom, doubtless perished in their beautiful valley. The original MS. 
 of this work is still preserved in the Mazarin library at Paris, and is sup- 
 posed to date from the close of the seventeenth century. It is undoubtedly 
 the work of one of the Jesuit fathers, whose missions commenced at Onon- 
 daga in 16.55, Fathers Le Moyne and Chaumonot having arrived there on 
 the 5th of November.

 We owe to the zeal of the editor of this volume many valuable contributions 
 to the history of America, but had he produced nothing more than the one 
 whose title is given, he would be entitled to something more than ordinary 
 gratitude. There is a chivalry not less noble than that exhibited in feats of 
 arms, in rescuing from oblivion or unmerited reproach, the name of an un- 
 honored hero. In these documents Mr. Shea produces the evidence, that 
 M. Beaujeu was not a mere subordinate in the celebrated battle, which re- 
 sulted in the defeat of General Braddock, and that he was actually comman- 
 der-in-chief. Also, that instead of fortuitously blundering upon the plan of 
 defense, Beaujeu had carefully considered it and skillfully adapted bis means 
 and forces to the exigencies of the contest, and with not more than five or 
 six hundred Indians met the assault of 2,000 English soldiers. The docu- 
 ments are preceded by a biographical sketch of M. Beaujeu, which Mr. 
 Shea terminates with an " Avant-tropos," that has this paragraph. 
 
 " Canada and France have forgotten Beaujeu. He has performed his duty as 
 a soldier and a Christian, leaving to his country the care of his reputation. 
 But another reaps the glory of the expedition in which he perished, and in 
 the city of Pittsburgh, where repose his ashes, we seek in vain for a monu- 
 ment to his memory." The memoir is accompanied by a portrait of Beaujeu.

 These relations of travels and voyages, are printed either from unedited MSS. 
 or from such obscure sources, as to be accessible here for the first time. The 
 journal of John Cavalier, La Salle's brother, and the letters of Montigni, 
 were first printed from the manuscript by Mr. Shea. But the letter of La 
 Salle was derived from a source which none would suspect of concealing a 
 historic gem, — Tomasy's geology of Louisiana. These narratives of the 
 first explorers of the valley of the Mississippi, are almost wholly composed 
 of accounts of the Indian tribes they encountered. They are filled with the 
 most interesting details of the peculiarities of these savages before civiliza- 
 tion had corrupted, as it has since destroyed them. The edition was limited 
 to one hundred copies.

 Mr. Simms' book is one of that limited class of historical works, for ■which 
 the reader will feel from youth to age, that he owes a debt of gratitude to 
 its garrulous and perhaps not over-scrupulous author. It is the very model 
 of a local history. Crowded with details of the adventures of the early 
 settlers of the Mohawk Valley, in their conflicts with their savage neighbors, 
 we do not stop to question their authenticity. The midnight massacres, the 
 long and weary captivities, the surprises of Indian camps, the bloody encoun- 
 ters between tlie scouts and their savage foes, are all narrated witli a credu- 
 lous faith, and an artless style that wins and preserves the reader's attention.

 The murderous hate between the scouts of the Revolution and their Indian 
 foes, survived the war, and furnishes the principal incidents which till this 
 book. It narrates how tlie superior craft, and vengeful pursuit of the white 
 hunters, thinned the woods of the Mohawk counties, of the remnants of the 
 Indian tribes which once thronged them. Pages 208 to 252 are tilled with 
 the account of the murder of an Indian scout, by a hunter named Foster, 
 and the minutes of his trial, for a crime of which all the evidence of angels 
 and archangels would not have convicted him, with a jury of border settlers.

 The history of this wonderful expedition affords us many relations of the 
 character, condition, and customs of the Indians inhabiting the territories, 
 drained by the northern tributaries of the Amazon, three centuries ago. 
 The murderous wretch Aguirre, who by his sanguinary massacres became 
 the leader of the force, was equally cruel in his thirst for the blood of the 
 Indians and of his own countrymen. The progress of this bloody monster, 
 through the lands of the fabled El Dorado, well illustrates the character of 
 a thousand expeditions of the cruel Spaniard among the Aborigines, which 
 have been unwritten because the victims were only Indians. The Jntroduc-

 roborate the history of Father Simon. Only the first seven of Father 
 Simon's historical notices were ever printed. Fourteen more exist in manu-

 In Mrs. Simon's first work, entitled The Hope of Israel, the authoress based

 brihgs evidence in this volume of extensive and scholarly research, to estab- 
 lish her hypothesis. Her semblances to Hebrew observances, are found 
 almost entirely in the Aztec and Toltecan races, as portrayed in Lord 
 Kingsbury's Antiquities of Mexico. She fortifies her position, from the his- 
 tories and opinions of Las Casas, Boturini, Gomara, Gumilla, Sahagun, 
 and Peter Martyr. It is a curious mass of learning, directed toward the 
 demonstration of an unsolvable problem.

 This vocabulary, as well as No. 8, the Grammar of the Mutsun language, 
 were the work of the missionaries. There is an apparent hiatus between the 
 Roman and Arabic pagination, but in the notation the omitted pages were 
 intended to be supplied by blank leaves. Fathers Sitjar and Pierras were 
 the first to attempt the conversion of this tribe which occupied a mountain- 
 ous range, twenty-five leagues southwest of Monterey, in California. Al- 
 though it was once so numerous that more than twenty dialects were spoken 
 by its branches, it was reduced to less than fifty individuals in 1 860. The 
 MSS. consist of four hundred and forty-two pages, and together with the 
 Grammar, were obtained by Mr. A. S. Taylor, who deposited them in the 
 Smithsonian Institute. Father Sitjar was horn in Majorca, 1739, founded 
 the mission of San Antonio in 177 1, in which place he died in 1808. Father

 This unpretending little work is the expression of the personal experience 
 of a candid and thoughtful man, on the structure of the Indian languages. 
 He suggests, what has long been thought, the insuperable difficulty in the 
 way of making our orthographic system, fairly interpret the involved and 
 aggregated forms of the sentence-words of aboriginal tongues. The struc- 
 ture of every dialect of the Algonquin and Huron tongues, comprising 
 every northern tribe, is monosyllabic, so that upon the radical syllable, the 
 sentence is built up, by successive additions, of other syllables, until the 
 idea is complete. These elemental syllables do not in most aboriginal diar 
 lects, exceed one hundred, and scarcely a single one of these can be perfectly 
 represented by our system of orthographical analysis.

 These volumes are the literary relaxation of one of those devoted mission- 
 aries to the Indians, of whom tlie Catholic Church has been so prolific. 
 Although modestly concealing his own share in the divine labor of evanguliz- 
 ing the savage hordes beyond the Rocky Mountains, these books are monu- 
 ments to his services, as well as of those he records performed by others. 
 Father Smet is a modern example of those hero martyrs of the Jesuit 
 order, who so nearly redeemed the savage tribes of America from Paraguay 
 to Canada.

 As I reach this title in describing the works of this collection, the journals of 
 the day announce that an unknown person was yesterday found in the 
 streets of New York in an insensible condition ; was taken by the police to 
 a cell in the nearest station-house; was transferred to the hospital in a dying 
 condition, and in a few hours, without a word or sign, the active, intelligent, 
 and learned mind of the stranger, had ceased to animate his mortal part. 
 The corpse was soon after death recognized as the editor of this work. The 
 scholarly curiosity of this learned man, was absolutely insatiable; and his 
 research stretched over an area of documentary evidence and historical 
 data, which is scarcely less than appalling to contemplate. The vast store- 
 houses of manuscripts by the early writers of the history of America, which 
 Spain has so jealously guarded, were, page by page, assiduously examined 
 by him, for new revelations regarding the country, whose half-told story 
 constantly fired his brain with the desire to complete. This homage of an 
 humble admirer of his patience, zeal, and learning, I could not resist the de- 
 sire to leave on record here. Mr. Buckingham Smith was the translator 
 and annotator of many works on American history. In IS.'jl, Mr. Riggs 
 printed at Washington his translation of the narrative of Cabeca de Vaca. 
 This relation of the missions, Indians, and Natural History of the Province 
 of Sonora, was written by an unknown hand. The writer was a Jesuit 
 Missionary, resident in that country eleven years, when by order or request 
 of the authorities, the MS. was written in 1762. It is for the first time 
 printed here, having been several times copied, and from one of the trans- 
 cripts, made for the purpose of aiding Munoz in writing his history of the 
 New World, this printed work is now produced. He resided at a place on 
 the River Yaqni, where that stream flows through a canon so deep, as to 
 shut out three quarters of the heavens from sight. The first sixty-nine 
 pages are occupied with a natural history of the country. At page 69 com- 
 mences Chapter V., entitled, " Of The Nations which people this Province, in 
 general ; Their language, and of their disposition, genius and character. 
 2. Of the antiquity, idolatries, and conjurors of the Indians. 3. Of their 
 absurd religious belief and superstitions. 4. Of their customs and ceremo- 
 nies," etc., etc., to Section 6. Chapter VI., entitled " Of the Nations which 
 inhabit this Province in particular," is divided into four sections, treating of 
 the peculiarities of the Apaches, the Pimas, and the Papagos, tribes still in- 
 habiting the provinces of Sonora, Arizona, and New Mexico. Chapter VII. 
 is entitled, " The Missions of the Society of Jesus among the Indians of So- 
 nora." Chapter VIII., " The Churches of the Missions." The subjects 
 above noted relating to the Indians, occupy pp. 69 to 173. It is not without 
 interest, that we read that the savages were spoken of at that day as the 
 cruel Apaches.

 Mr. Smith asserts that these documents are in the Apalachian tongue, as 
 spoken and written by the Indians, and with the Timuquana marking. They 
 denote an advancement made by the Timuquana Indians, under the Francis- 
 can missionaries, in the seventeenth century in religion and civilization, 
 superior, or at least equal to the farthest progress reached by the Aborio-ines 
 anywhere in America. MS. letter of Mr. Buckingham Smith : " The docu- 
 ments are fac-similes of the handwriting of the Indians of Florida."

 The author of this grammar, whose name is entirely unknown, was a Jesuit 
 missionary among the Pimas, an Indian nation inhabiting New Mexico, and 
 Sonora. The manuscript, discovered by Mr. Smith at Toledo in Spain, was 
 probably carried thither in 1767, on the suppression of the order in Mexico. 
 The work has three titles. In the Trench title, in addition to the description 
 given in the English one, we find the words " With the Christian Doctrine 
 and Confession " added. The Grammar occupies pp. 10 to 97. The third 
 title in Spanish, Christian Doctrine and Confession, m the language Nevome or

 Map 4, New England, with portrait of Smith in left upper corner. Much 
 the greater part of the value of copies of Smith's general history, consists 
 in the perfection and identity of the maps. The first edition is the highest 
 prized when it possesses the maps properly belonging to it. In the subse- 
 quent editions, the maps underwent such alterations as distinguish each of 
 them from the others. It is so commonly the case, as almost to form the 
 rule, that even the best copies of Smith's book have been made up by the 
 substitution of later editions of some of the maps. This uncertainty ex- 
 tends even to the portraits. That of the Duchesse of Richmond, is gener- 
 ally supposed to have been roengraved, and collectors have been somewhat 
 puzzled to ascertain if their copies were originals. I have copies both of the 
 original impression, and the so called replica, and am able to establish a 
 criterion for testing the question. Only one plate of the portrait has been 
 engraved, and that one is now in the possession of Mr. Dexter of New York. 
 The distinction between the original impressions and the subsequent ones, 
 consists in the cross hatchings which were made after the impressions were 
 taken for Smith's history. In the first all the drapery is shaded by horizon- 
 tal lines, the tapestry in the back ground alone being shaded by perpendicu- 
 lar lines, drawn at right angles to the others. In the second the cross hatch- 
 ing lines are diagonal to the others, producing a coarser and darker appear- 
 ance. This is particularly observable in the cushion, above which the right 
 hand rests.

 This is the original edition of Colonel Smith's narrative, and one of the rarest 
 works of western history. Indeed, in the quality of rarity, it is only ex- 
 ceeded by Loudon's Narrative of Indian Wars. Colonel Smith was himself 
 the type of the chivalric, brave, and generous frontiersman, of which class 
 Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton were famous examples. He possessed 
 the advantage of an intellect, cultivated in the rude border schools, it is 
 true, yet not ill cultivated in such places as heroes were not seldom bred.

 The Narrative of Colonel-Smith's Captivity had already become scarce, when 
 the patriotic veteran, on the breaking out of the war with Great Britain, 
 fully comprehending the danger of underrating the savage foe, whom that 
 government would make its allies, issued this treatise of military instruction. 
 The work has become even rarer than the first one.

 For nearly a century this book was attributed to Thomas Hatchings, whose 
 name is found upon the map of Colonel Bouquet's route. Mr. SpofFord, the 
 librarian of Congress, first called attention to a letter written by the inde- 
 fatigable Rev. William Smith of Philadelphia, in which he announces him- 
 self as the author. The rarity of the book is not the only quality for which 
 it should be sought, nor the fact that it was embellished by engravings after 
 drawings from the pencil of the eminent painter Benjamin West. 
 The treatise narrates the details of the first victory, gained over Indian forces 
 by English troops, after the savages had been taught the use of fire-arms. 
 Nearly twenty years elapsed before the whites gained another, during which 
 period they suftered such dreadful defeats in thirteen battles at. the hands of 
 the Indians, that the blood thickens with horror at their narration. Colonel 
 Bouquet by his judicious arrangements first laid down the plan, in following 
 which General Wayne secured the same result.

 The author affords us in this work almost the only authentic narrative of 
 personal intercourse, with a nation of savages, which had defied the Span-

 the other aboriginal warriors of America. Everything relating to their 
 characteristics, manners, and customs, receives his attention.

 All the arguments in favor of the author's hypothesis, are derived from the 
 ancient sagas, Indian traditions, and inscriptions on the rocks. They are 
 most clearly cited, and logically enforced, but the colloquial style adopted 
 by him gives his work a puerile character, which the learning and ability 
 of the author and his work do not deserve. •

 This book, which contains some interesting particulars of the Indian allies 
 of Great Britain, has a curious bibliographical history. After making his 
 escape from Canada, the author sold the right to print a certain number of 
 copies of the MS. work he had brought away with him, in each of the large 
 cities through which he passed ; his compensation being a fixed proportion 
 of the number of copies. Editions were therefore printed at Hartford, of 
 13,000 copies, in New York of 3,000. Another large edition was printed in 
 Trenton, another in Philadelphia, and one in Baltimore of 2,500, with the 
 addition of an appendix, and nearly_ 1,800 names of subscriljers, residents 
 of Maryland and Vkginia. The edition printed at Lexington alone con- 
 tains the personal narrative. Of the various editions, not less than 25,000 
 copies have been printed, and the book is now scarce.

 The first three chapters are full of interesting particulars of the suflferings of 
 the early settlers from the IfltJians, most of them written by the good bishop, 
 from the lips of the survivors. The remarkable narrative of the captivity 
 of John Lancaster is here printed for the first time.

 The history of the forced emigration of a sovereign people is given in these 
 speeches. The most remarkable of them all is that of David Crockett ; for 
 the highest qualities of oratory, clear, logical deductions, enforced with great 
 eloquence, impelled by honest convictions. Aware that probably not a single 
 individual, within a hundred miles of the frontier of which he was a repre- 
 sentative, but would be outraged by his opinions, he fearlessly avowed him- 
 self the champion of the rights of the Indian. On a later invasion of them 
 by the government, another noble frontiersman, General Samuel Houston, 
 took the same intrepid course.

 Of the ten plates, seven are portraits of Indian chiefs. The story of the won- 
 derful contests of a savage tribe of less than four thousand, of all ages, in 
 1822, and less than one thousand in 1845, with the disciplined forces of the 
 United States, for nearly a quarter of a century, is here told with all its 
 minutest relations. It is a sad story of heroism, gallantry, and patriotism 
 on the side of the Aborigines, and of treachery, unscrupulous covetousness, 
 and barefaced lying on the part of the government and its officials ; includ- 
 ing the President, the Senate, and the generals in command. The great 
 republic was only victor at last, by inveigling the Indian chiefs, under the 
 most sacred promises of safe conduct, into imprisonment and chains ; and 
 after losing one hundred soldiers for every Indian taken or slain, forty-five 
 millions of treasure were expended in reducing these seven hundred patriots.

 Scenes and Studies of Savage Life. By Gilbert Malcolm

 This little Tolume contains the records of seven years' experience of the pecu- 
 liarities of life on the extremest frontier of Western America, and is devoted 
 entirely to that phase of it which the savages of Vancouver presented. This 
 vast island has hitherto been a terra incognita, at least so far as the striking 
 characteristics of its savage inhabitants are concerned. Mr. Sproat exer- 
 cised the functions of a local magistrate at the settlements among them, and 
 studied their peculiarities with great cariosity and diligence. Speaking their 
 difficult and almost unpronounceable language with facility, he was able to 
 obtain so many particulars of their life and customs, as to add largely to our 
 sources of knowledge of aboriginal manners. A vocabulary of the Aht lan- 
 guage, spoken universally by the twenty tribes inhabiting Vancouver, occu- 
 pies fourteen pages, in double columns, and affords us the meaning of nearly 
 one thousand Aht words.

 Mr. Squier's explorations form a fitting sequel to those of Mr. Stephens, 
 extending as they did over an adjacent territory, equally rich in the relics of 
 the ingenious and civilized race of aborigines which once peopled it. Almost 
 every article of their manufactiu-e, whicJi was not readily perishable, is repre- 
 sented in the excellent engravings. Their idols, temples, columns, sculp- 
 tures, utensils, and architecture are most copiously illustrated, and clearly 
 described. A division of the second volume, entitled " Aborigines of Nica- 
 ragua," pp. 303 to 362, treats of the Indians now resident in that portion of 
 the peninsula.

 This work forms the third of Ternaux-Compans' series of Voyages et Relations. 
 
 Honest Hans Staden's book is the most valuable and interesting of all the 
 relations of his time, as he narrates with great minuteness the incidents of 
 his long captivity among the Carlos Indians. The whole work is devoted 
 to descriptions of his intercourse and battles with the natives ; but Chapters 
 xviii. to li., pp. 85 to 214, are entirely occupied with the narrative of his 
 captivity, his sufferings, and final escape. At page 265, a division of the 
 work entitled, " True and Precise Relation of the Manners and Customs of 
 the Twppinanbas, among whom I was prisoner," occupies the remainder of 
 the book. Hans Staden's Relation was first printed in Germany, at Mar- 
 hourg, in 1557, in small 4°. De Bry translated it into Latin, and inserted it 
 in his Grand Voyages, Levy made use of it in his work, Voyage to Bresil. 
 He confirms Staden's account of the savages, and vouches for the correctness 
 of his statements from his own experience.

 horrors of the infernal regions are anticipated, it must be Surinam. The 
 moment that civilized man sets his foot upon the soil he becomes a fiend, 
 and the atrocities which he perpetrates upon his kind would shame his 
 brother devils. Stedman's work is a record of such horrors, that few will 
 brave the appalling category of bloodshed and murders, to reach the chap- 
 ter or two descriptive of the Indians of Guiana. The intercourse of Sted- 
 man with the aborigines was very limited, yet he gives some new and inter- 
 esting particulars regarding them.

 plorations, the author set out upon the one, the incidents of which are here 
 narrated. So far from exhausting the antiquities of the peninsula in his 
 first two volumes, these add to our astonishment by portraying the };igantic 
 ruins of still more imposing structures, erected by the vanished race of penin- 
 sular aborigines.

 This extraordinary collection of material, representing the labor of aboriginal 
 man in Europe and America, is the result of the munificence and taste of 
 Mr. William Blackmore, who not only provided the very large sum needed 
 for the establishment of the institution, but has made several voyages to 
 America to complete its series. Much the largest portion of the volume is 
 devoted to the description of the utensils, weapons, and ornaments manu- 
 factured by the American Indians. Their habitations, mounds, fortifications, 
 and antiquities are described at great length, and with much evident research. 
 The text is accompanied by a large number of wood-cuts, illustrative of the 
 various objects forming the collection.

 Thii book must have been a very popular one, as it is announced as having 
 been printed at several places, under various titles, and by almost as many 
 authors. It is usually found entitled, Indian Wars, by H. Trumbull. The 
 edition now under our notice, is the first of a score of forms under which 
 this really worthless book appeared. It subsequently issued from the press 
 in almost every town in New England which possessed one. All of these 
 editions, however, claimed for their author, Henry Trumbull, of whom as 
 little is known as of James Steward. The historic value of the work may 
 be ascertained from thetestimony of Peter Force, under the title " Trumbull."

 Three editions of this work are believed by some bibliographers to have been 
 printed ; but as the London edition of 1753 perfectly corresponds with the 
 Williamsburg edition of the same date, it may be true that both of them 
 were printed either in London or in Williamsburg. They differ solely in 
 the substitution of the title-page. Two uniform peculiarities of the edition of 
 1747 may be noticed : the discoloration of signature x, and the error in num- 
 bering the first page of that signature 295, instead of 305. In consequence 
 of this error there are pp. 295 to 304 in duplicate. The style of the writer is 
 rigid and harsh to a degree which renders his work almost unreadable ; 
 but the history, which is more strictly the Annals of the Colony, is faithfully 
 compiled. In his narration of the aboriginal history, he has added little new 
 material, nor has he brought out what we already knew, in any stronger 
 light, yet we are indebted to him for having printed some documents not 
 easily accessible.

 The author, of whom almost nothing is certainly known, was evidently a 
 person of some importance in Virginia during the period of which he writes, — 
 from 1610 to 1612. Book I., pj). 23 to 133, is almost wholly occupied with 
 a description of the Indians of Virginia, their customs and peculiarities. It 
 was written probably some years before Captain John Smith's General His- 
 tory of Virginia, and is more especially remarkable as having afforded Mr. 
 Deane and Mr. Niel the data to charge the name of Pocahontas with infamy. 
 
 The following passage will scarcely be considered sufficient evidence to con- 
 vict the Indian maiden : " Their younger women goe not shadowed amongst 
 their owne companie, until they be nigh eleaven, or tuelve returnes of the leafe 
 old, nor are they very much ashamed thereof, and therefore would the before 
 remembered Pochahontas, a well featured, but wanton yong girle, Powha- 
 tuns daughter, sometymes resorting to our port, of the age then of eleven or 
 twelve yeares, get the boys forth with her into the markett place, and make 
 them wheele falling on their hands turning up their heeles upwards, whome 
 she would followe and wheele so her self, naked as she was, all the fort over, 
 but being once twelve yeares, they put on a kind of seme-cinctum lethern 
 apron before their bellies, and are very shamefact to be scene bare." On the 
 modern interpretation of the word wanton, rests almost all the weight 
 of the arguments against Pochahontas' chastity. A word used two centuries 
 ago, like "wench," "quean," and many other terms, since degraded by use 
 to reproach, is here in the sense of saucy, hoydenish, reckless, and other 
 kindred terms indicating boldness and want of propriety. Like other native 
 girls she was incapable of viewing her nudity with shame, because her youth 
 forbid the association of sexual indulgence, or even desire, with it.

 This is the first replication, in a long series of statements and rejoinders, be-

 Mass., and the agents of the U. S. Government. There was, undoubtedly, 
 some collusion between some of the chiefs and the agents of Mass., whose 
 consent was necessary to perfect the sale of the Seneca lands, by which a 
 small number of the tribe were made to appear to be the majority. The in- 
 evitable, unvarying result followed, and the Indians were cheated and 
 driven from their homes. See Seneca Indians.

 parts of the World : that is, the Life and Death of those Members of the 
 Society of Jesus, who were violently killed, in the defence of true Belief and 
 Virtue. Originally written in Latin. Prague, Id&S.] 
 
 A rare and very important historical work. It contains the lives and marryr- 
 doms of the Jesuit missionaries, in the four parts of the globe. Part IV. is de- 
 voted entirely to America, comprising pages 563 to 738, and contains biog- 
 raphies (some of them very full) of fifty-eight missionaries, all, of whom 
 were put to death by the Indians. These terrible deaths are represented by 
 thirty-nine copper-plates in the text, representing a sickening variety of tor- 
 tures, each more frightfdl than the last, almost equaling in refinement of cra- 
 elty that of the Spanish ( Christian ) savages who first explored and devastated 
 the New World. Nine perished in Florida, several in Peru, Brazil, Paraguay, 
 Mexico, and California. But perhaps the most interesting part of the vol- 
 ume to us, is included in pp. 647 to 694, wherein is narrated the martyrdom 
 of the French Jesuits among the Hurons, the Iroquois, and other nations of 
 New France (part of which is now the State of New York). This part 
 of the work comprises the biographies of Fathers Jogues, Daniel, Brebeuf, 
 Lallemant, Garnier, Chabanel, Beudin, Basil, and Vhuteux. The life of 
 Father Jogues alone fills twenty-seven pages He is represented as being tor- 
 tured by the Iroquois on the 18th of July, 1643, first by three Indians pull- 
 ing out the nails of his fingers and toes with pincers. It was however not at 
 this infliction of torments that Father Jogues received his martyrdom, as Mr. 
 Stevens seems to suppose. The deformed and mutilated missionary so far 
 recovered as to be rescued by minister Megapolensis, of Albany ; returned to 
 France, and unable to resist the demands of his conscience, to preach the 
 gospel to the Indians, returned to the country of the Iroquois, and by them 
 was slain at Caunawagha in 1647, four years subsequently to his torture. 
 Tanner was also the author of a work on the same subject entitled, Confes- 
 sores, etc.,- which contains the life of Father White, the first priest in Mary- 
 land. Much of the work whose title is given, is taken from that of Alegambe, 
 entitled Maries TUustres Soc. Jesu. Roma. Folio, by Alegambe and Nadase. 
 The German edition of Tanner is translated from the Latin, but contains 
 forty pages of additional matter.

 As will be seen by the announcement on the title-page, of the period which 
 these annals of Ohio is intended to cover, it is devoted almost entirely to its 
 aboriginal history. The early Jesuit Missions, the wars of the Eries and 
 the Iroquois, the border warfare which was waging for nearly a quarter of a 
 century, between the Scotch-Irish inhabitants of Pennsylvania and the Del- 
 awares, Shawanese, and Wyandots, are the subjects which nearly till the vol- 
 ume. The Appendix contains other and more minute particulars of the vari- 
 ous Indian tribes which once inhabited the State, and of the white borderers 
 and Indian chiefs who were noted in their warfare with each other. The work 
 is a very judicious and interesting collection of material already printed in one 
 form or another, not always accessible to the student, even in great libraries.

 This noble collection has rendered accessible, in a familiar langnage, many of 
 the rarest and most valuable narratives of contests and adventure among 
 the Indians of America. Some were indeed to be found alone in manuscripts 
 jealously guarded, and all were, beside rarity, almost as obscure by reason of 
 their Gothic print, equally antique Spanish, or barbarous Latin, as the picto- 
 graphs of the Aztecs, or the quipus of the Peruvians whose stories they re- 
 counted. Their value can best be estimated by the titles of the several vol- 
 umes.

 All the pieces are illustrative of the conquest of the Aztecs, and are copies 
 of the original relations of the conquerors themselves ; but some are more 
 particularly descriptive of the characteristics of the various tribes of the 
 conquered people. The third Relation is entitled, " Of the order of succes- 
 sion observed by the Indians, relative to their lands." The 4th article, " Of 
 the Ceremonies observed by the Indians, when they make a Tecle." The

 This twentieth volume of Ternaux' collection of voyages, relations, and me- 
 moirs, entitled, Collection of Pieces on the History of Florida never before printed, 
 contains some very valuable material for the student of aboriginal history. 
 The first narrative is that of Hernando d' Escalente Fontanedo, written about 
 1527, entitled "Memoir on Florida, its Coasts and its Inhabitants." It is 
 followed by a " Letter written by De Soto," Biedma's " Relation of what 
 happened during the Expedition of Ferd. de Soto," and Betete's " Relation 
 of Florida." In all these pieces, the first attention of the narrators is given 
 to the peculiarities of the Indian natives, and meagre as we fe'ei them to be, 
 for the purpose of satisfying our curiosity, they are with those of Cabeea de 
 Vaca, and the Gentleman of Elvas, the sole means we have of gratifying it, 
 even in part. The Relation of Biedma adds some curious details, to those 
 we already possessed, relating to the fatal expedition of De Soto. Among 
 others he narrates : " One day the Indians killed more than twenty of our 
 men, and wounded more than two hundred, which last received six hundred 
 and sixty flesh wounds. During the night we dressed their wounds with 
 grease (obtained by roasting) the Indians we had killed. We had no other 
 medicament, everything in our possession had been burned during the bat- 
 tle." The remaining papers do not possess less interest. Mendoza's report 
 of the expedition and massacre by the bloody Menendez ; the history of the 
 last voyage by Jean Ribaut to Florida; and last the glorious expedition of 
 Gourges, the hero who had the skill and good fortune to unite all the Indian 
 tribes of the coast of Florida, with his little band of Frenchmen, to punish 
 with swift destruction the Spanish monsters who had participated in the 
 ma.'^s.tcre. This document is here printed for the first time, from the MS. in 
 the Bibliotheque Royale.

 printed in London, 1568, in 4°. Although all the editions are somewhat 
 rare, the Italian is least esteemed of the four. The English edition has sold 
 at as high a price as ten guineas; both French editions at seven, and the 
 Italian at four to five guineas. This last has a leaf at the end, with an en-

 the wicked craft practiced upon them by Governor Thomas Pcnn, and other 
 proprietors in 1737. Certain chiefs having been called together by the spec- 
 ulators, two persons were found to testify that they were present at a coun- 
 cil fifty years before, at which as much land was ceded to William Penn, as 
 a man could walk around in a day and a half. There was a chief living 
 who could have proved this testimony false, but he was carefully kept in 
 ignorance of the council, and by mean fraud, endless perjury, and tempting 
 but specious gifts, the surreptitious deed was ratified. To locate as large a 
 territory as possible, a trained pedestrian was employed, who was met at 
 appointed stations by refreshments, and thus was enabled to traverse a route 
 which cut oif a million acres from the Indian territory. Less than one third 
 that quantity of land was the amount which the Indians had been led to ex- 
 pect would be ceded. Endless conferences, and numerous councils, were fol- 
 lowed by bloody massacres, that devastated the border settlements of Penn- 
 sylvania and Virginia, for twenty years. Mr. Thomson's work fully analyzes 
 the cause of the alienation, which the heroic Quaker, Christian Post, haz- 
 arded his life to overcome.

 This is the first dissertation in English, on that fertile subject of controversy 
 and hypothesis, the origin of the American Indians. The Puritans of New 
 England awoke to it with a zeal, untempered by the knowledge that keener 
 intellects and higher scholarship, had been stimulated by its attractive mys- 
 tery a century before. They seem to have been unaware that Las Casas,

 Francisco, in the Province of the Holy Evangel of Mexico in New Spain. 
 With permission. In Madrid in the (printing) office and at the cost of 
 Nicolas Rodriguez Franco. The year 1723.] 
 
 Juan de Torquemada, whom Aliiinan calls in his Dissertaciones, the "Livy of 
 New Spain," studied in Mexico, where he took the habit of St. Francis, and 
 became the Provincial of the order for that country. He wrote his Indian 
 Monarc/ii/, after liuving collected everythini; which he could find that related 
 to the history of the country, and the customs, manners, laws, &c., of its ab- 
 original inhabitant^. This work forms a collection, indispensable to all who 
 desire to know much of the ancient history of Mexico, and its inhabitants, 
 as well as to all those writers who expect to borrow their material from the 
 stores of others. 
 
 The edition of 1723 is the most complete, having been edited by the indefat- 
 igable Barcia, and is preferred by scholars to the first edition, printed in 
 three volumes at Madrid in 1613 : Ternau,^ says, " Although I find no other 
 . notice of the author than what is conveyed on the title, that he was a Fran- 
 ciscan monk, this work is, nevertheless, the most complete we possess on the 
 
Indian Bibliography. S95 
 
 ancient hiatovy of Mexico.'' A groat part of the first volume is devoted 
 to the history of the country, before its discovery, and the wliole of the 
 second, to the religion and the laws, manners, and customs of the Mexicans, 
 and a comparison of these peculiarities, with those of the ancient nations of 
 Europe. 
 
 Ternaux could hardly have consulted Clavigcro, who says, that " Torquemada 
 knew the Mexican language well, conversed with the Mexicans in their own 
 tongue, for upwards of' fifty years, and labored at his history for more than 
 twenty. In spite, however, of his diligence and advantages, he frequently 
 betrays want of memory, critical skill, and good taste ; many gross contra- 
 dictions also appear, particularly in chronology, several childish details ; and 
 a great deal of superfluous learning. Nevertheless there are many things 
 of curiosity and value in it." This is a very harsh judgment, which one 
 may hope was, oven in the learned Clavigero, inspired somewhat by jealousy. 
 Clavigero asserts that Torquemada received some assistance fron'i The His- 
 torical Memoirs of the Kingdom of Acolhuacan written by the Indian, Antonio 
 Pimontol Ixtlilxochitl, a grandson of the. last Indian king of that country. 
 Diego Mugnoz- Camargo, a noble half-blood native of Tlascala, wrote a his- 
 tory of the city and republic of Tlascala, which Torquemada found of 
 much use, as he did The Historical Memoirs of the Kingdom of Cholula, by 
 Juan Batista Pomar, a descendant of the Eoyal House of Tezcuco. The 
 MSS. of these valuable works by native historians, Torquemada found de- 
 posited in the libraries of the colleges in Mexico. 
 
 Rich says, " Some curious chapters of the original MSS. were omitted by order 
 of the Inquisition, of which one was entitled, 'How the Devil wished to 
 imitate the Almighty, by choosing a favorite people.' It is probable that it 
 offended, by comparing the migration of the Toitecs to that of the Israel- 
 ites."

 This work, under all its Protean forms, bears evidence that it was written for 
 a comparatively unlettered public : as, according to the testimony of Col. 
 Peter Force, there is not a page which is not crowded with errors. He' 
 stated to Mr. Ilenry C. Murphy that he believed there was scarcely a date 
 correctly given in the whole book, having discovered twenty-two chrono- 
 loo-ical errors on a single page. Many editions, with varying titles, were 
 published for the purpose of being hawked through the country. The first 
 purports to have been printed at Brooklyn, L. I., in which edition the

 A biographical memoir of Roger Williams, of 60 pp., precedes this new 
 edition of his work npon the language of the Narraganset Indians. 
 Following the memoir, Mr. Trumbull's preface occupies pp. 1 to 16. The 
 Key fillspp. 18to220,in the lower margins of which the editor has placed 
 three hundred and eighty-six explanatory notes. Many of these are of great 
 length ; and all are characterized by the learning and ability, which are the 
 fruit of his long study of the Indian languages of America. Nothing is 
 settled by hypothesis, and little left to conjecture, while incidentally many 
 characteristics of aboriginal life are woven into his analyses. 
 
 Trumbull (J. Hammond). 
 
 On some mistaken notions of Algonkin grammar, and on mis- 
 translations of words from Eliot's Bible, &c. By J. Hammond 
 Trumbull. (From the Transactions of the American Philo- 
 logical Association, 1869-70.) 8° pp. 1 to 19. 1871. 1572 
 
 Among other heresies which Mr. Trumbull exterminates is that bewildering 
 one of which Mr. Duponceau was the apostle, that the (Mass.) Natick lan- 
 guage could be demonstrated from Eliot's Bible, to possess an infinitive 
 mood. As this would unsettle the belief, authorized by the best scholars, in 
 the incapability of the expression of abstract action or being, and almost of 
 abstract substantives, by most, if not all, Indian languages, it is a good ser- 
 vice to philology to sweep it away. Another error in the opposite direction, 
 originated by Mr. Edwards and sustained by Mr. Bancroft, General Cass, and 
 others, that verbs had no expression unless associated with both actor and 
 subject, is completely refuted. Some amusing stories regarding the whimsi- 
 cal modes of expression Eliot is said to have adopted, which have obtained 
 so much authenticity as constant repetition and universal belief can give, 
 are shown by translations of the paragraphs in question to be untrue.

 Mr. Trumbull writes upon a subject which he more fully comprehends, and 
 
 ' can better illustrate, than any other scholar — perhaps in the world. The 
 pollysyllabic, or synthetic structure of the words, of all Indian languages, is 
 most clearly exhibited and demonstrated in this essay. Their agglutinative 
 formation has struck every student upon the most superficial examination, 
 but it remained for Mr. 'Trumbull to suggest that the readiest and most 
 scientific mode of learning them was to reverse the order of composition. 
 " The aim of the student should be, the resolution of synthesis by analysis."

 This work is a first translation of the work of Don Ulloa printed at Ma-

 eeems to be a faithful translation of the work of Ulloa, to which the trans- 
 lator has added his own Observations, which occupy all after page 134 of 
 volume two. So close is the reproduction of the original, that the division 
 into chapters is identical. The subjects of Chapters xvii. to xxii., pp. 1 to 
 134, of volume two, as indicated by their headings, are: " Of the Native 
 Indians in the two Americas : their Manners, Customs and Habits ; of the 
 Religion of the Indians : their tombs, their diminution, and of their castes 
 of half-breeds, of the antiquity of the Indians ; of different works con- 
 structed or invented by them, and of many figures of idols and amulets ; 
 of the language of the Indians, and the conclusion we can arrive at regard- 
 ing the first population of America."

 declared to be calumnious, we find the Indians of Peru treated with the 
 same cruelty two hundred years afterward." — Rich. 
 
 The learned author has brought abundant testimony to prove that the 
 oppression and tyranny described by Las Casas as exercised upon the 
 Aborigines was scarcely less atrocious during the closing years of the Span- 
 ish dominion. " These secret memoirs are written with that truth, impar-

 A large part of this very rare work is devoted to a description of the natives 
 of the New Netherlands. Van der Donck arrived in New Amsterdam in 
 1642. He served as the sheriff of the colony of Eensselaerwyck, and pur- 
 chased an estate on the Hudson, near the site of the village of Yonkers. 
 Before this work was published, he had printed An Exposition of the New 
 Netherlands (Hage, 1650,) in which the administrations of Kieft and 
 Stnyvesant were vigorously assailed. A division of the work before us, 
 found on page 52, is entitled, " Of the Manners and peculiar Custom of the 
 Natives of the New-Netherlands." This is subdivided into twenty-two sec- 
 tions, each treating of some of the peculiarities of the savages of the State 
 of New York. The whole covering pp. 52 to 81. The treatise possesses an 
 interest beyond its rarity, in being the relation of an educated man, regard- 
 ing the Indians of the island and neighborhood of New York. The work 
 was translated by Gen. J. Johnson, and printed in the sixth volimie of the 
 New York Historical Society. 
 
 The second edition of this work is a reprint of the first from the 1st to the 
 16th pages. The remainder is so exact a reproduction, page for page, of the 
 first edition, as to favor the hypothesis, that the sheets from signature O to 
 to N 3 were never reprinted. There would have apparently been no differ- 
 ence discoverable, had the plate of New Amsterdam been retained in the 
 second edition. The map and Condition properly belong only to this edition, 
 but are wanting in sevei-al of the copies known to be in existence. A very 
 high authority in bibliography, Mr. Henry Stevens, is of the opinion that a 
 copy of Van der Donck with the date of 1656, and view of New Amsterdam 
 on the 9th page, must be made up of the two editions, by prefixing a title of 
 the second to the text of the first. I have lately found three copies, with 
 exactly the same collation, and although this is merely negative evidence, the 
 correspondence of so many copies authorizes at least the fair presumption, 
 that three editions may have been printed. We must otherwise suppose, that 
 three copies of an exceedingly rare book have been mutilated to form a 
 hybrid of two editions.

 [Notices of California : of its conquest, temporal and spiritual, from that 
 time to the present. From the Manuscript History of that province, com- 
 
 Josed in Mexico, in the year 1739, by Father Venegas, of the order oi 
 esuits, with other Sketches and Relations, both ancient and modern.] 
 
 The history of Father Venegas was edited by Father Andre Buriel, who died in 
 the city of Mexico in 1762. He found the MS. of Father Venegas' work at 
 Madrid in 1749, it having been finished ten years previously. The sources 
 from which Venegas derived his history are a number of relations composed 
 by the missionaries in California, and sent to the Provincial at Mexico, -v^here 
 they are still preserved in the libraries of two colleges. The work of Father 
 Venegas is undoubtedly the most faithful narration we possess, regarding the 
 original condition of the Indians of any part of North America, connected 
 with the history of their gradual progress towards civilization and Christianity. 
 
 With the habitual contempt for accuracy which distinguishes English editors 
 of the last century, this translator of Venegas has constructed a title for the 
 good Father's work to suit his own whimsical taste. It is, however, a fair 
 synopsis of the contents of the work, though much extended, in comparison 
 with the original.

 [History of the Conquest of the Province of Itza, the reduction and jjrowth of 
 that of the Lacandons, and other savage Indians, of the annexation of the 
 kingdom of Guatemala to the provinces of Yucatan, in North America.] 
 
 Villagutierre's relation of the wars, by which the Spaniards conquered the 
 Indians of Yucatan and Guatemala, has from its extreme rarity remained 
 almost unknown. Like most of the Spanish histories of affairs in America, 
 it is more largely devoted to the spiritual than the military conquest of the 
 Indians ; yet it is a valuable repertory of facts, relating to the Savages of 
 the peninsula. 
 
 Only this Primera Parte was ever printed.

 4°. Title, reverse blank, 1 leaf. Ad Lectorem, signed P. Vincentius, 1 leaf, 
 reverse blank. A true Relation, 22 pp. The first 10 are unnumbered, and 
 with a running title ; the last 12 without running title, and numbered from U 
 to 22. The authorship of this exceedingly rare pamphlet, has l)een attributed 
 to the personage, whose name is signed to the poem addressed to the Reader, 
 with no authority I think beyond that of conjecture. The publishing Commit- 
 tee of the Massachusetts Historical Society thus ascribed it, in their note to the 
 reprint of the Relation, in the Third Volume of their Collections. It is a nar- 
 rative of the battle with thePequods, fought by Captains Mason and Under- 
 bill, an account of which was written by the last doughty commander, and 
 printed in 1638, under the title of News from America. Vincent's Rela- 
 tion is of even greater rarity than Underiiill's. This is attested by the fact 
 that the reprint named was made from a mutilated copy, the imperfections 
 of which were uncorrected in the reprint : fiom the impossibility of finding 
 a perfect one for comparison. The tract was considered of sufficient conse- 
 quence to induce the printing of another edition with the title; A True

 The author's interest was particularly excited as a savant, by coming in con- 
 tact with an aboriginal race in America. Accordingly, his work teems 
 with the most interesting particulars, which he observed or learned, regard- 
 ing the Indians. He has occupied the whole of Apsendix VI. pp. 3.52 to 
 429, with observations on the condition, numbers, and characteristics of the 
 Indians, while No. VII., pp. 429 to 446, is devoted to an examination of the 
 structure of the language of the Miami tribes, with a copious vocabulary. 
 The work was the result of three yeai-s' residence and travel in the United 
 States.

 This description of the antiquities of Mitla, and of the savage and' uncon- 
 quered tribes of Indians inhabiting Central America, possesses much to 
 elicit our interest. Yet he is accused by the authors of other works on Cen- 
 tral America, with supplying by invention what his iuvestigations failed to 
 discover.

 1853. 1615 
 
 This translation of that portion of De Vries' Journal relating to America, 
 was performed at the suggestion, and printed at the cost, of Mr. James 
 Lenox. Mr. Murphy has also furnished us with a biographical sketch of 
 De Vries, in the Introduction, pp. 5 to 14. Page 15 is a translation of the full 
 title of the original : [Short historical and Journal notes of several Voyages 
 made in the four parts of the World, namely, Europe, Africa, Asia, and 
 America, By D. David Pietersz. de Vries, Ordnance-Master of the Most 
 Noble Lords, the C6mmitted Council of the States of "West Friesland and the

 Each Country, its Animals, Birds, kind of Fishes and Savage Men — Coun- 
 terfeited to the Life, — and the Woods and Rivers, with their Products. 
 Hoorn. Anno 1655.] 
 
 In it the infamous treachery of Kieft, the unresisted massacre of the too con- 
 fiding Indians at Hoboken, the horrible revenge taken by their countrymen, 
 and the consequent desolation of the Dutch Colony, with the cowardice of 
 the miserable governor, are all candidly and lucidly narrated. 
 
 De Vries was a witness of the terrible atrocities perpetrated by the Dutch un- 
 der Governor Kieft upon the Indians, which caused them to become such 
 cruel avengers of their wrongs. Mr. Murphy concludes his excellent pref- 
 ace, with this enunciation of the value of De Vries' Journal : — 
 
 " His narratives, where he speaks from personal knowledge, are entitled to the 
 highest credit, for not only do they bear internal evidence of truth, but they 
 are corroborated in many instances by other evidence, and by the records 
 which we have. His relation of the disgraceful and disastrous Indian war, 
 in which he was an actor and friend of the Indians, is the only authentic 
 one extant, of any completeness, except that of the government, and is 
 therefore of great interest and value." 
 
 Of its rarity, Mr. Murphy says (in 1853) : " The book is one of the rarest to 
 be found, — no printed copy being known to have been extant in this coun- 
 try befoi'c the one from which the following translation has been made, and 
 which was obtained by James Lenox, Esq. Twenty years has enabled the 
 bibliopoles of America to gather at least six copies in this country, Mr. 
 Lenox, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Brown, have each a copy, beside the one of which 
 I give the title. Another was sold.by Mr. Miiller, in 1872, for one hundred 
 and twenty-five dollars. For the one I possess Mr. Lenox paid three hun- 
 dred dollars.

 Although Vancouver lost the opportunity of recording himself as the dis-

 »^aptain Gray, he was the first to inform the public of the peculiarities of 
 some ot the Indian Tribes inhabiting the shores of the North Pacific, and 
 the Islands that form the Aleutian Archipelago. But a small portion of 
 these great vohimes is, however, devoted to aboriginal affairs, and that is only 
 the baldest narration of incidents ; but as thev contain the earliest notices of 
 the natives of the countries visited, and several plates illustrative of their 
 hie and appearance, they are placed in this catalogue.

 The narration of this devoted missionary to the Indians, reminds ns in its 
 details of the most wonderful self sacrifices, told with the utmost self abne- 
 gation, and with an utter unconsciousness of their heroism, of the kindred 
 relations of the early Jesuits in America. Like them, he left but the one

 doned and outcast tribe was his only aim, but unlike them he lived to see 
 its realization. A pioneer of civilization, hundreds of miles bej'ond its far- 
 thest reach, a missionary of the gospel thirty years before the formation of 
 Christian churches, he saw populous cities rise where morasses and forest 
 only spread when he first saw them.

 The Englishman, an ardent sportsman, spent five years, from 1832 to 1837, 
 in the wilds between the Mississippi and the Pacific. The journal of his ad- 
 ventures among, and residence with the Indians, was, together with his ver- 
 bal narrations, edited by his American friend, and these two volumes are the 
 product. Indian life, character, and legends form the staple of their compo-

 There succeeds in mine, however, an appendix paged continuously to the

 for the discrepancy in pagination, as No. 4 is that second edition, being an 
 exact reprint in every particular, except the omission of the last eight lines 
 forming the 64th page of the first edition; omitted for no reason, I can 
 conceive, except to prevent the overrunning of the composition, of eight

 This is the ninth, and last, of the Reports of the Indian Charity School, estab-

 School, commencing in 1754, at Lebanon, and in 1771 transferred to Han- 
 over, where it formed the germ of the institution, known as partuxouth Col- 
 lege. Among the first pupils came young Brant, the Mohawk jvariior, >vho 
 afterwards desolated the Wyoming Valley, and sat beside the Mohegan 
 Indian, Samson Occum, who preached the gospel of peace to the same bloody 
 savages. The fruits of the noble and disinterested labors of Mr. Wheelock, 
 were visible among the aborigines for many years after the date of this re- 
 port. At one time twenty-five Indians were receiving instruction in his 
 school. Honored be the name of Eleazer Wheelock during all time, .as one 
 of the wisest and noblest friends of the red man.

 The propositions of the learned author in favor of the existence of a tribe of 
 Welsh Indians, are so well sustained by veritable evidence, and yet so posi- 
 tively known to be untrue, that it makes us doubt the value of all ratiocina- 
 tion. He adduces the positive testimony of more than twenty persons who 
 had visited, or spoken with them in that language. Of all the conjectures 
 regarding the origin of the Indians, not one has been fortified by a tithe of 
 the absolute evidence of respectable authorities and witnesses Mr. Williams 
 obtained, and yet not a single scholar has been convinced. If such a cordon 
 of impregnable proofs can be thrown around a totally improbable hypoth- 
 esis, there will be little we cannot doubt and nothing we may not believe.

 1st. Cortez was an adventurer, a" IJucanriefer, who found his interest in assam- 
 ing the role of a zealot, to impose upon the Inquisition and the emperor. 
 2d. Tlie historians from Bernal Diaz to Botturino, including Sahagan, Tor- 
 
 ?ueraada, and Ixtlilxochitl, being all monks, were all liars, for neither the 
 nquisition nor the court would permit the unadulterated truth to appear. 
 
 3d. The Aztec civilization was a myth, in which the Moorish tinge of its in- 
 ventor's intellect is clearly apparent, the story of the burning of the historic 
 paintings a necessary falsehood to account for their absence, and those still 
 extant only daubs to impose upou a credulity, which had greedily swallowed 
 the clumsy tale of the miraculous apron of our lady of Guadaloup.

 author that their builders were Phoenicans and not Aztecs, the latter being 
 a race of savages, and incapable of such monuments of still and industry.

 Twelve full-page engravings and fifty wood-cuts inserted in the text, are nearly 
 all designed to illustrate battles with the Indians, or the terrible cruelties in- 
 flicted upon them. 
 
 This well printed and beautifully illustrated book is written in a style Worthy 
 of its subject. The story of De Soto's life is told with a vigor and nervous 
 energy, characteristic of his restless and ambitious career. The great cava- 
 lier, chivalrous gentleman, and splendid adventurer, was the only one of the 
 type of courtly and Christian knights who sought for gold and renown on 
 the continent of North America. His wonderful story of great resolve and 
 terrible misfortune, is interwoven with the threads of that ever melancholy 
 history of Indian massacre and defeat. Although scores of Spaniards fall 
 in the wild rush of battle, or in the dense thickets and swamps, it is by 
 thousands that the savages are trampled down before the charge of the 
 Spanish horse, or perish by the murderous culverin and matchlock.

 There is not a word of preface or self-assertion in this book, to indicate that 
 the numerous incidents of border warfare with the Coraanches, Wiecos, and 
 other Indian tribes, are only imaginative, but they are told with a freedom 
 from colloquial dramatising, that gives an air of verity to them. They are 
 perhaps personal experiences, with more or less picturesque coloring.

 An intimate acquaintance of three years with that queer commonwealth, the 
 Mosquito Kingdom, invented and fostered by the tortuous and incompre 
 hensible motive called British policy, enables the author to give us some new 
 and very interesting views of savage life. The whole volume is occupied 
 with scenes and incidents which strongly portray that of the Caribs, the. 
 Poya, the Troncha and Albatuinasian tribes of Indians. The author has 
 also confined himself to a narration of what he saw, except in one or two 
 interesting relations of Catholic missions among the interior savage tribes, 
 and the martyrdom of the evangelists by them. A vocabulary of the 
 Mosquito jargon fills the last three pages of the book.

 [History of the discovery and Conquest of Peru, translated from the Spanish 
 of Zarate. Printed by the government to furnish employment to the printer.] 
 
 Zarate filled the office of treasurer general in Peru, from 1 543 to 1548. Hav- 
 ing noted carefully in his journal, the incidents which occurred within the 
 range of his own observation, he was enabled after his return to Spain, to 
 write his history of the Conquest of the Incas, with great fidelity and clear- 
 ness. The first volume is divided into four books, of which the first is de- 
 voted to descriptions of the natives of Peru, with some brief discussion re- 
 garding their origin. The remaining books are occupied with the relations 
 of their conquest. 
 
 These volumes form a part of the series of historical works printed by the 
 government of France, during one of her revolutionary paroxysms, to 
 placate the most dreaded class of her citizens.
