Every book in more or lesB 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 still will care to leurn, that his work had it»s origin, in motives more honorable than ostentatious display. A general catalogue of works illustrative of the history, literature, and archiuology of the Aborigines of both Americas, had been iu 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 producing a work of more general utility. The material collected at hnigth 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 privat*; 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 wiis plainly demonstrated, that the projected task must bo either abandoned or greatly abridged. That portion of the task which could be most readily deUiched 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 lieeu subjected to a fi'v simple rules of classification. All works which purported in their titles to contain historic, nar- rative, or literary material, relating to tlie American Indiana. z far Preface, Hooks in whicli :iiiy 'IiHtiiict portion, chapter, or appmdix cluiiiuMi by its heading, or table of contents to be devoted to that subject. Works containing engravings, illustrative of the nmnners and peculiarities of the iibori'i;int!s. whendtirivcid from actual observation. All treatises, or isssays, upon their origin^ or the pre-Columbian discctvery of America, as allecting the souice of its po]>ulation. Those works of fiction or poetry founded on Indian life, to which were appendid historical notes, incidents of personal experience, or traditions and legends, of the Indians. All works containing grammatical analyses, or vocabularies of taeir language, as \v«'ll 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 excei)tional adoption has been made to complete the bibliograpliical history of those seri; plate has in the foregioum! a view of a battle between two tribes of savages. Abbott (John S.

The relations of an intelligent ob- server (us 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 ])eriod, 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.

Paris, 1840. 67 This History of Pern, never before printed, was written by a gentleman who went to IJojota in 1566, where he resided ten years; then removed to Quito, where he linished his history in 1586, twenty years after he arrived in America. The Manuscript, as found by M. Ternaux, was diviiled in three books, of which the tirst two make no mention of America, except some worthless specidations almut its being the land of Ophir. In his third Imok, however, he gives the results of his communications from a leartied monk named Juan de Orozco, of Bogota, who had written many treatises on the ori^jin and antiquities of the Indians. The volume is entirely occupied with the history of the Incas, and other Indian Bibliography. 17 \Paris, 67 Inn vho l»ved to liirrived |ili;?. 298. iios^oH, 1859. 69 No part of the American Centinent has had so many intelligent and well cdncateil observers of Indian traits as the Hudson's Bay Territory.

Together with an Account > the Religion, Manners, and Customs of Several Tribes of its Indian Inhabitants [etc. 6 lines], 8° London, 1769. 70 Tlic especial subject of the author's inquiries regarding the 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 the best portion of the work is Chap. iii. occupying 100 pp. of descrip- tion of the peculiarities of the natives of the country. The subject has however been much better performed by the Missionary, Brett. Baraoa (Rev. F.)

Of the Voyages of some Captains and Pilots, in search of a Passage from the North Sea to the East, or a junction of the land with Asia : from the year 1512, when Florida was discovered by Juan Ponce de Leon to that of 1722, written by Don Gabriel do Cardenas z Cano, Madrid, 1723.] Under this pseudonym, an anagram of his name, the learned Barcia, who edited the work, concealed his association with it. It is filled •.vith 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 arc continued ; among which the Narrative of the Sufferings of Father Jogues, a Jesuit Missionary to the Iroquois in the present State of Nev/ York, and the painful incidents of his final martyrdom will most interest those who exam- ine them. Pages 205 to 217 are principally occupied with the relation of the Missions among the Ilurons and Iroquois, and of the captivity and mar- tyrdom of Fathers Jogues, Lalemandc, Garnicr, and Chabanal. Some partic- ulars of the wars of' the Iroquois are given on pages 227 to 244, and throughout the work ai'e 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 Tnca. 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 Chronolorjico para la Historia de la Florida (Chronological Essays towards the History of Florida) but lie was the editor of avast mass of his- torical works, which had become rare even in his day. They consisted of the following books, which will bo found under their authors' names in this Cat- alogue. ToRQfTEMADA. Mouarchiu Indiana, in three folio volumes printed at Madrid in 1723.

Rich says that copies of all these works were j)rinted on fine paper with large margins, \\hich are very rarely reunited in complete sets. Barcia's zeal in his- torical labors, wsis not exhausted in the reprinting and perpetuating rare works, for he collected a vust mass of books and manuscripts upon the history of America, which at hia death met the usual melancholy late of such re- Indian Bihliography. 21 positoiios.

This I suppose to mean that Biirtrum wrote with all the enthusiasm and inter- est with which the fervent old Spanish friars and missionaries narrated the wonders of the new found world. Bartram, however, has much the advan- tage of these chroniclers, who often hccame 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. Althouf^h more especially a naturalist, he neglected nothing which would add to the common stock of human knowledge.

Title and 3 prel. leaves -\-\ to 175, num- bered leaves. 117 This rare book is the work of an old Italian traveller who, incited by the won- derful stories of tlie world discovered by his countryman fifty years l)cforc, 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 atlijrded 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 arc quaint Itut spirited illustrations. It is the first book of Travels of which America has been so fruitful, as Benzoni seems to have l)een the first who travelled merely to gratify his curiosity and recorded his observations.

While he scouts the notion of tracing;; their descent from the Jews (that fatal stuml>lini!;block of all theorists, from Torquemada and Thorowf;ood to Mrs. Simon and Joe Smith), tliere is one formidable historic weapon against it he does not use: That the Indian of America had a more jjivnounced and established idea of the immortality of the human existence than the most ])ious of Jews.

Mr. Brinton treats at length, and with masterly clearness in grouping, the vast mass of traditions, symbols, rites, and suj)erstitions which governed the life of the savages of America as affect- ing their common origin.

W. Iliggs 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 jiossess. The narration of the unfortunate expedition of Calicv'a 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 yet absorbing interest. Nine years of wanderings and ca])tivity among the Indians ela])sed before this ill-fated member of a still more unfortunate 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 jjarticular: 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.

Arranjjed by Pedro Hernandez, Notary and Secretary of the Prov- ince.] Published as the Sixth Number of Tcmaux-Compan's collection of Voi/ages, Relations, et Memoires. The Commentaries have never been translated into English. The first edition of Cabc<;'a's Relacion was printed at Sevilla in 1 .542, 4° 66 leaves; the second at Valladolid in 155.5. This is divided into two parts, of which the first only is attributed to Cabc^a de Vaca himself, entitled Nant'rwjios de Alvar Nunez de Cabeca de Vaca (also in the Collection of Bareia) ; the second, Commentarios de Aloar Nunez Calera de Vaca, a work which is supposed to have been written by his Secretary, Pierre Fernan- dez, while Nunez was in pri.son. " These two works," says M. Ternaux, " were compo.sed for the justification of Cabe9a de Vaca, but did not prevent the dis.appointment of his being condemned to exile in Africa on account of the cruelties perpetrated by him in America." Durinjr his lon}^ wanderings among the Induins, with whom he became a sort of divinity or j)rophet, 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 Barciu in 1749 ; by Ternaux 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 VWa Historia Admirandm, chapters xxxix. and xl. Having l)een ap- pointed governor of Buenos Ayres in 1540, 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 Cabe(;a 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- cicE Paraguarice. 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-Ti/pis. At page 91 he arraigns Cabu^a 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 i)rayers, exiiibited in the falling of siiowers 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 Bareia in the first volume of his Historiadores Primitivos under the title of Examen Apolorjetico de la His- torica Narracion de los Nanfragios, Pereijrinaciones, i Mihvjros 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 Kio's Report occuj)ies p]). 1 to 21, and in the renuxinder of the work Dr. Cabrera attemjits to establish the theory that the fierurcs u])on the monuments of Palenipie prove a con- nection between the Ej::yptians and the Alwriginal race wbich constructed them. All this is very inj;euiously arastor of the colony, and a learned and zealous man, not only in the exercise of his religious functions but in literary jmrsuits. 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.

Uesidin^ near them, as the author did for many years, fiiniliar with their observances, and often ])resent at the ;:rcat coun- cils of the Confederacy, when numerous representatives of the tribes iisscin- 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 refjardiny: the Six Nations, we pos.sess in the En^ilisli, French, and Spanish lan<>;uascs, and accordin;rly the first 8eventy-ci;:ht patj^es are occu))ied with a resume of what he thus gleaned. Bur if is ill chapter V. pp. 7U to 1U5, that he adds entirely new material to their history in his " Biojrrajihical Sketches of Distinguished Chiefs of the Onondatra 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 Unondagas, and chapter v'i. pp. 210 to 24.5, to a history of the English, German, and American Missions in the tribe ; the last chapter being entirely new mar terial in their histc*' Chapters viii. and ix. pp. 246 to 322, is occupied with the early his. v of the Onondagas, being a collection of much original matter, combined with gleanings from documentarv and printed accounts. Chi'.ptcr 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 work is in fact a history of the Onon- daga tribe of the Six Nation.-i, and holds the highest rank among treatises on Aboriginal affairs for original and valuable information.

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. CoATES (D.) Beecham and Ellis.

Nothing in Las Casas' relations of Spanish atrcw- ities surpasses it. Eight hundred miners, gamblers, and adventurers of the border, were enlisted under Colonel Chivington, a preacher of the i\f(!thodist Church, to punish some thefts of horses and murders committed by Indians, who would not remain to l)c eatight. A peaceable tribe of Chcyennes and Shosliones, 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 the high- C.»it demonstrations of friendslii|). On these wreteiied Indians, who absurdly trusted in the promises and good faith of their wliite brethren, witli whom they had always remained at jjcace, the Christian whites determined to re- venge all the outrages perpetrated by others. Having lulled all sus|)icion, by artfully paciKe overtures for ses-eral days. Colonel Chivington's army Bilently surrounded the Indian camp, and a scene of most horrible massacre commenced. The chiefs ran forward with white flags, repeating in Entrlish, We are friends ; we are friends ! but the ajipeal 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 aj>pealed to, replied, " Damn any vinn who si/mjxithizes with Indians;" and added, " I want no prisoners." One Lieutenant Richmond distinguished himself so much that iiis name de- serves to be damned to per|K'tual infamy. Observing that three squaws and five children had been taken jirisoners, he killed and scalped the whole of them, wlii'e they were screaming for mercy. The atrocities that were perpctrate(l upon the bodies of the slain would tax the cleverest ingenuity of devi s to in\ eiit its parallel. Every one of the dead was scalped, but in this the (Jhri~tiim whites only eiiualed the savages. 'J'iie genitils of both sexes were cut off. The skins of the males were dried for tobncc.o-j ouches, and those of the genitals of the women were worn as hat- bands, and in one instance as ii pair of mustaches. Colonel Chivington saw, without remonstrance, these horrible diods performed around him. To the truth of these statements we so unwillingly believe, nearly one hun- dred wit icsses testified befoic a committee of Congress, and their examinar tions are 'ecorded in this volume.

The In- dian apostle acknowledged his obligation to the elder Cotton's knowledge of lie Natick language. Beside the advantages of his father's instruction, the author's frequent intercourse with the Indians as a civil officer, a neiglibor, and an occasional missionary among them, afforded him ample opportunities of becoming familiar with the intricacies of their speech. The MS. of the work, writteu in 1 708, had remained unedited until the year 1829. The Vocabulary is very full, but is only a collection of arbitrary phraie trans- Indian Bibliography. 89 lations, in which all the moods, tenses, and other conditions which (^vern the languages of civilized races, are forced upon a tongue which possessed few coiTclative parts.

Martin I)(il)rizluK'ffcr, born in 1717, was one of those extraordinary vnt'n, who organized in Paraguay a government that has not ceased to excite tlic ,von- dcrand |)er[)]ex the reason of all who tried to comprehend its strange unom- alies. l'i)r a century and a half it existed as a pure hierarchy, itisulated and intact ; more mysterious than the fabled Amazonian l{e|iublic, or the equally mythical El Dorado. For a half century succeeding it has remained tho 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 i!;ind of extraordinary ability in government, power of reasoning, or breadth of scholarship. The author of these vohunea was a man of learning, who in 1 736 entered the orderof Jesuits, and in 1749, in obedience to the commands of his general, commenced the ap))alling labor of attemptitig the civilization and christianizing of one of the fiercest and most suiMirstitions, of all the savage tribes of American Indians. His mis- sion anu)ng them lasted through eighteen years of living nuirtyrdom ; which lie survived to write and publish this work in tho Latin tonjrue. It is the most complete, faithful, and interesting iletail of the liH habits, and char- acter of a savage tribe which was ever written. Southey, \vhen praising the work, only s])eaks the language of every scholar or writer who has perused it. In chapters xvi. and xvii. of Vol. II., pp. 1.59 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 live Indian dialects.

Paris, Gide Libraire-editeur, 1860. 442 The First Section is entitled "Notice of the Ancient American Mannscripts, and of The Book of the Savages." This unhappy work afforded a sensation to the literary world of Europe, not less unusual than universal. From every study, library, and bookseller's rooms arose a shout of laujihter, that the soul of Rebelais might have envied. No Frenchman, since that ribald wit left the earth, has excited suchachonisof unextinguishableciu'hinnation. Unfortunately for the Abbe Domenech the parallel between hiniseif and Ha- helais soon ceases, the world laughs not with him but at him. lie 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 fiimish the means of its publication. In his Dedication to M. Lacroix, he says : " Yon 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 pwor child was informed by M. Lacroix that his des- tiny was Hi ;rary 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 Ltore des Sauvages. It would seem impossible, on the merest glance at the sprawling 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 carries the dupe on to his destruction. Besides, a French savant is ready to believe in anything excej)t 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. He said that Bot- turini, Tornuemadi, Tschudi, and Kingslwrough had done much to illustrate Aztec and Ineii MSS., but hitherto nothing hud been found to enlighten the darkness of the story of the Northern ludlaus. It was reserved for his for- m Indian Bibliography. 105 tnne to draw aside the veil. Indeed, he was obliged to hasten, as he learned to his dismnv thitt a copy had iH-en made l>y an Ameriean savant, with the %iew to its puLlication by the United States Governmint. The ;;iory of Fninc<', he declared to the KniiR-ror's contidant, was involved in this attvinpt to snatch from her the fume ofbrin^in;; to li;:iit so precious a document illustrative of her former renown in New France. Suflicient however is it for our mirth that the work wivs puldished only to discover that the MS. was eitiier the work of some mischief-loviny inventor, or of a sick child whilin;: away the hours of illness. Since then the Km(H'ror, the EmjHjror's hotischold, and Abbe Domenech have been industriously employed in destroying all the copies they can procure, consequently they are exceedingly rare.

Beside the pictures of scenery obtained from vari- ous sources, the Abbe gives many rcpresei.tatives of Indian anti(juities, utensils, and weapons. A category of the Indian Trilx-s of North America, and some short vocabularies of some of their languages, form perhaps the most valuable jwrtion of these volumes. The entire absence of narrative of personal observations, cffectuully belies the suggestions of the title of a residence of seven years in the countries he depicts. Domenech (L'Abbe Em.).

He founds his claim for its authenticity upon the resemblance Iwtween the schoolboy's drawings which had deluded him, and some inscriptions fonnd on the rocks in New Mexico and Souora, both of which he illustrates in the plates at the end of the work. 1 3?ff^^!^7«SSSB ttnmmmem mmmmmm 106 Indian Bibliography. y i DOMINGUKZ (F.).

By Alcide D'Orbigny.] Monsieur D'Orbigny brought to the task of examining and cla^sifyiug the Aborigines of South America, a zeal, intelligence, and learning which fitted him admirably for the important labor he assumed. The peculiaiities of the various races of South America had l)cen noted with more or less discrimi- nation by many writers, but their ethuologieal distinctions, the territorial boundaries of the great nations, the classiri(^ation of their languages, and the groujiing of the almost innumerable tribes into their parent natii(ns, had never been treated by a man of science. The author examined personally both the natives and their locale, and accomplished as much as one man can do of the labor which will require the toil and thought of many to perlect. Drakk (Benj.).

In September, 1651, Father Dreuillettes set out on his long and perilous mission through the wild forests intervening Ixjtween Quebec and Boston, where he arrived on the eighth of September. 1 he 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 reco»er 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 Christiati kindness ' ' the Puritans, and that Winthrop, Endicott, Winslow, and Bradford warn 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 tirm 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 Indiana.

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 diir- 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 ooliged to cut his stick. Mr. Duncan spent ten years in his efforts to Christianize the members of thia 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 charac^eriised 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.

Ho suffered in person from the incursions of the Indians, who burned hit house at Newport the next year. Easton is the only early writer upon 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 ar unnecessary and cruel war upon the wrongti owners of the soil, as they are to-day in our age of Indi* n agents and speculators. il i » k 1 t ^ L||,,i 1 if ■ : lU Indian Bibliography, Eaton (John Henry).

Reprinted London, 11 %%. 487 The very able author of this treatise was not the first to analyze the Aborie inal language of New England, and reduce it to rules, yet his brief work is remarkable for suggesting the radical basis of the Muhhekanew dialect, and exhibiting its structural difference from the Mohawk, lie 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, Shawneso and Chippeway Indians. He was eminently fitted for this service 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 famili-'s of F-ropean lineage to one hundred and fifty of Indian birth, his youth was spent with 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 tilt) noun, no relative pronoui s, no abstract adjective, as quality IS always expressed hy 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 commonly 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 cither 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 very clearly analyzed in this treatise. EaEDE (Hans). A Description 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 tiie quaint relation of the Danish missionary Egede affords us little information regarding the natives of Grccn- 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. £ldridog (Eleanor).

A few copies, said by Thomas to have been not more than twenty, were sent to England, with a dedication to Kin;; Charles of two leaves. Others have an English title, in place of the Indian, and a few have both.

Total leaves of New Testament, Psalms, and Catechism, 178, or 594 leaves for the complete work. It will be seen that the New Testament was printed two years previous 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 for us like some vast monolith erected oy a race whicli 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 Tramball, to revive thia extinct ■•;i H 11! , I 1J20 Indian Bibliography. language, and he has found in its stud^ somethinf^ more than the mere grati- fication of literary curiosity. The edition of fifteen hundred copies recom- mended to be printed by the Corporation, was exhausted in twenty years. Even the " two hundred copies of the New Testament, strongly bound in leather for the immediate use of the Indians," were probably worn out. Ac- cordingly in 1680 another edition of two thousand of the New 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; Psalms and Catechism 51 leaves. Eliot did not receive from the Pilgrim fathers that aid in his great work which ho had a right to demand. The funds raised in England for Christianizing the Indians were diverted from that purpose, by the Puritan authorities ; and it was not until peremptory orders from the Corporation compelled them to restore them that he found them available for his designs. Although this work was considered Si) 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 icss than 2.3 copies of the first edition. They are distributed in the libraries of the following named gentlemen : Hon. Henry C. Murphy, Brooklyn, L. I., 2 ; Mr. T. w. Field, Brooklyn, L. I., 1 ; Mr. John H. King (deceased), Jamaica, L. I., 1 ; Mr. John G. Gardiner, Gardeners, L. I., 1 ; Long Island Historical Society (very imperfect), L.

Notwithstanding this considerable number of known copies in this country, in addition to at least nine in Europe, the price of each successive copy of- fered for sale has been greatly augmented above the last. The coi)y belong- ing to Mr. John A. Rice had been bought for £100 in 1863, but was sold in 1869 for '51,050. Twenty years since Mr. Murphy bought one of his copies in London for twenty shillings, and in 1870 Mr. Quarritch sold an- other for £250, or nearly two thousand dollars of the United Stat ■ cuiTency of that date.

The fierce French and English marauders, who .so constantly overcnnie the Spaniards, were as constantly cheeked or defeated whenever they assaileil the Indians of the Isthmus or the adjacent countries. But the most noteworthy liistorieal fact elucidated by this volume, is the proof of the retril)utive fruit of vengeance (brever 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 jirey of fiends as ferocious and vindictive b"t more powerful than himself. There were burnings at the ^taki!, there wei3 venerable men flayed alive, beautiful women forced to stdnnit to the lust of the most loathsome of the human race, children im|)aled on bavonets, and men hung by their privtes ; 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. Esquimaux.

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 mui.4tto who, inspired by a sense of religious 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 uj> one of the simple and touching melodies of the Methodist Church, in his powerful and rich tones. It struck the savage cars 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 religions lite. From that most abandoned and debauched medley of white and Indian vices, which a frontier tribij 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 davoted to its argumenta- tion. The peculiar habits, customs, and traditions of tne Wyandots form the subject of the second chapter, while chapter third gives an account of the introduction of the Gospel among thorn by the Afiican missionary Stewart, ! i, 'I I, ' 'ii ' ' * 130 1 ( km m if {<§' Indian Bibliography. and the assumption of the mission by the Methodist Church. 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- pulo.sity, as his narrative bears strong internal evidence of its being a faith- ful record of the incidents which transpired within his own knowledge.

Printed cU 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 Revolution, and in succeeding years. In addition to the already avail- able sources of information on the subject of Indian skirmishes, n)a.ssacres, 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 his 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 tliese 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 jiortraits. Finley (J.

The expedition h-ft York Factory on Hudson's IJay in September, 1 8 1 !), jjassed across the territory to Great Slave Lake and thence to the Arctic Ocican, by the Coppermine Kiver.

'J'he expedition effected one undesigned fjood, — in provinj^ 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 Ijeen crushed out even in savage hearts. While almost every page of the narrative contains an incident of Inilian life, and a large part of both volumes is occupied with some reference to, or lengthy awount of, the aborigines resident in the regions traversed, yet there are t)ortions of the work entirely devoted to the same subject. Chap- ter iii. of Vol. II., pp. 91 to 145, is entitled " Dr. Kichardson's Account of the Cree Indians," and is one of tiie best, as it is certainly the most authentic statement of their pe*;uliar customs and modes of life. Many details are given in the progress of the work of the Coppe., Dog-Rib, Es()uinuiux, and Chippcwyan Iiulians; but it is in the last cliapter, where the author nar- rates the story of that ajinalling march on the; return journey, that our inter- est is most deeply excited. When the climax of human suffering has been reached, and the last hair's-lireadth of its endurance tested, and all the hor- rors of starvation, frozen limbs, and every imaginable torture combined have been sustained, it is gratifying to find that even in the most degraded trilajs of Indians the explorers found relief from their humanity. The Chippcwyan 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. FuANKLiN (Capt. John).

Tiiis curioua relation affords us some important particulars of the oli!j;arcliy by which the priests fjoverncd nearly a million of Indians for two centuries, with a des- potic authority almost unparulleled. As a note on page 577 of the Amster- dam edition of 1717 informs us that Frezier is not the author of this Uela- tion, we are left in ignorance of the jx-rson to whom it is to be attributed. Frezier's work is entitled to the credit of great veracity 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 uuniorous 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 figures of the Incas, and other Peruvians drawn by the Indians of Cuzco, with views of their houses, and of utensils found in their tombs.

The page has no title, being a certificate, commencing " These are to testify." From page 37 to 76 is occupied with the Confessions of Seven Indians, each given at length under his own name. The ratiocination involved in these religious testimonies, as the production of aboriginal intellects, so lately incapable of numbering fifty, seems incredible to us.

Second edition. Anienvork 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 nobk iViend. 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 La 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 historians, says that " this woik is well written, but the author has evidently exaggerated the riches and jjower 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 so waned, as to affect but few opinions at this day.

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 half-breed, his father being an Irishman named O'lieal. The life of the missionary among his reputed al)original kindred is minutel)' related, taken in great part from his own diary. A great mass of evidence, more traditional than circumstantial, .and more circumstantial than positive, is educed to prove Elcazer Williams to be the son of Louis XVI.

Andover, 1820. 656 This Journal purports to have been only revised and published by Mr. Daniel Haskell, but he is said to have introduced religions reflections not made by the author. Harmon's narration of events among and peculiarities of the Indian tribes is believed by those familiar with him, and the regions he vis- ited, to be correct ; but the life of a fur-trader, dispensing lire-water to the Indians, while daily witnessing the murders it produced, was not favorable to religious emotions. Mr. Haskell makes the writer reject the proifer 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 Cn.'e 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 written by another hand, perhaps from Harmon's dictation.

Lip- pincott, 1868. 681 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 will account for the malignity of the as])crsion ; " Las Casas had, it may be fearlessly asserted, a greater number of bitter enemies than any man who ever lived."

It treats the whole story of the Indians and their con(|uerorn, during the sixty years which immediately succeeded the discovery, in that continuous narrative style, by which our curiosity is aroused, and our in- terest perpetuated, without losing the dignity of veracious hi.story. 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 ;j;1ows with the warmth of his philanthropy. HENDKR80N (James).

At the end of this part is an additional relation commencing with pau;u 301, and ending at pa^fe 35.5. Dr. (J'Callayhan enumerates twenty-three edi- tions in his bibliography of Hennepin's works in the Uiitorical Mwjatine, 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 Kccollect 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 Us 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 infiueuce of the Itccollects, to which order Father Hennepin be- longed. Second. The author lost the support of his own brethren of the order of llecoUects by neglecting or refusing to return to his duties in America as a missionary. He accordingly retired to Utrecht in Holland, where in 1C97 he reprinted his book published at Paris in 1683 (some copies have ihc date of 1684). In the course of the next year it was reissued as printed al Amsterdam 1698. Mr. Hich places the date of 1698 also on an edition printed at Utrecht. The first book of Father Hennepin is entitled, Description de If Louisiane. 12° Paris, 1683. The same, 1683. Reprinted with additional matter as Nonvelle Deconrerlc d'un tres Grand Paijs situe dans Am. Utrecht. 12° 1697. The same title, Amsterdam, 1698.

All the ]icculiantie8 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 ibod ; how the un- hap])y Indian has been pushed towards the frigid zone until he has reached a point beyor 1 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 vol", aes are almost entin-ly occu])ied with incidents of Indian life and character, particularly of the Montagnais, Abenakis, and Esquimaux Indians. The engravings arc illustrative of scenes in aboriginal lite, or of their customs, features, and other peculiarities.

It is in fact a narrative of the incidents of a visit of a committee of the Society of Friends, to the Mianiis and Pottawatomies. It is filled with interesting details of these tribes, with some historical partic- ulars relating to the defeat of SJ. Clair, not elsewhere printed. The Appen- dix, occupying the last seventy-eight piiges, is a collection of additional incidents of the same tour, from the manuscripts of George Ellicott, who accompanied friend Hopkins, not less valualde 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 priming in its !)resent shape, at the expense of herfatlicr and brother. It was never offered or sale, but all the copies were presented to Friends and others intei-ested in Indian afl'airs. i 'f '. !1 "' 1 ■ i ' ill ffl I 1 J 1 " i H 1 i : If I j,; illilhit 176 Indian Bibliography.

This is the original of Hubbard's Present State of New England, bein;/ a Narrative, ^c, in every respect except the wording of the title, the table of errata, and the errors m 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 onlv 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 tho 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 BihUography, 179 us in (U'termininK this fact, and no hililiofrrnplier would hesitate to declare that tlic line excnitod in the hcsf tnimncr is the one enijraved in fiondon. It is evident, on the sliyiitest inspection, that tiiis is the one havin;; " Wine llill.( " enyfraved l)elow the title in place of " White Hills " as in the other more rndely executed one. In the Hrst, the letters are more j)erlectly t'onucd, the siiiidin;:: is finer, and the lines rc])reseniin}^ the ocean 8hari)er, clearer, and more tiian twice the number of the other. A siill more curious di>crej)ancy exists between copies of the text of the Ros- ton edition. There is evidence in the table of errata on the last pa;ie, that there were two issues, if not two Boston editions, benrin;; date 1677. I have two co)iics of that date, precisely similar in every respect, except that the en-ata in one occupies ten lines, and in the other twelve. It is probable that after some copies had been disseminated, other errors were discovered, and two lines of corrections added. Another peculiarity of the Boston edition, of less c(mse(|nence, is the error in pa;;ination from pa.ues 84 to 92. Pajj:es 84, 8G, 88, and 90, arc not numbered at all, while pp. 85, 87, 89, 91, and 92, are numbered 84, 8.5, 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 npolof;y, comirencinj^ " The Printer to the Header. 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 typof^raphy greatly superior. In both editions the titlc-pajjc is preceded by a recommendation of the work siijjned by Simon Bradstreet, Daniel l)enison,and Joseph Dudley, an:■ :ii \\^\ ■11: PI B'r< 180 Indian Bihliographj.

William Ilubhard wa.>. the minister of Ipswich, Mass., where he died September 14th, 1704, aged eighty-ihree. Ho was remarkable in an age and country of bigots, for his liberality, moderation, and piety. His narrative has Ijcen regarded for two hundred years l)y his- torians as a standard of authority. It is som.nimes accompanied bv a tract bound in the same volume, entitled The. JIafjpiness u/' a Peoi>le in the Windome of their Rulers, etc., a sermon preached in Boston. Printed by John Forster, IBTti, 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 l)om in England in 1621, and emigrated at the age of fourteen to New England. He wrote a Historic of New England, which remained in manuscript for nearly a century and a half, or until 1815, when it was printed bv the Massachusetts Historical Society. In 1848 the History was rej)rinted 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 the same subject. HUBBAKD (W.). Tl ILippiness of a People In the Wisdome of their Rulers. Directing, And in the Obedience of their Brethren.

The other passed over the same route which Sudani and Hennepin traversed — the < >ttawa Kiver, and alony; tiie striny: of small lakes to Mackinaw, and then onward to St. l^ouis. From thence the e.\|iedition en- tered upon the realms of sava;;e life, and for a year foujrht or ne;;otiated its wav, throufrh nation after nation, and tribe after triln', of crafty and hostile Indians.

Mr. James was a man of much information ujKjn Indian affairs, and must have l)ecn able to discriminate between the probable and the uncertain jmrtions of Tanner's narrative. The mncgade hnnself (for he had during his long sojourn among the Indians boflMnc even more savage than they) was a person of retentive memoiy and fair intelligence. Ilis relation of his life among the Northera Indians, is probably the most minute if not authentic detail of tht'ir habits, modes of living, and social customs, ever printed. The perils and privations in which they constantly exist, the tribal distinctions, and famil ociatiois and quarrels, the hunter's painful struggles to overmatch the c \g an '*• ct of the animals upon which he must feed or starve, and \\ nrof tu. ..i, .aws, alternate*! with days and vret^ks of gnawing famine, &\, ' is return, are all minutely and vividly related.

No hero of the colonies of North America, even the loud boasting Caj)tnin John Smith, the zealous yet humane Roger Williams, or the noble Oglethorpe himself, better deserved an enduring monument tharj 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 full 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. Jones (Peter).

London, Henry Colbum and Richard Bent- ley, 1830. 799 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 him 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., m 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 informs us that he spent his boyhood among the Gayhcnd Indians of Martha's Vineyard Island, and heard iheir 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 hobgobliti 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 char;icteristics 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. Jones (Miss Electa F.).

That Yucatan was neopl'd from Kthiopia, he established from some rumor which had reached liim of their practice of circumcision. That I'eru was populated by tiie Chinese, he finds itroof from their worship of the sun, their architecture, and their laws, which he confirms by repeating some tradition, which he fathers upot. Ilerrera, of the wrecks ot (.'liincsc vessels found on the coast of I'utagonia. Lastly, he ;isserts the origin of tlie inhabitants of the southerly portions of South America, in the natives of New (Juinen, and the Moluccas. Laet con- troverted these theories in the treatise first printed in 164.1, and ert'ectually demolishes most of the arguments of (jrotiii.s, by proving the statements on which they were founded to be "alhicious. On the ruins of his antagonist's theoretic structures, Liiei erected a hypothetical edifice quite as frail. Tho Canaries afiorded a convenient half-way station, and having read in I'liny that the remains of ancient buildii „.t had lieen seen on some islands on the coast of Africo, he thinks the Spaniards, troubled by the Carthaginians, mwlelcd some vessels after those of their enemies, sailed to the Canaries and subse- quently drifted to Bra/.il, which they peopled. Laet inclines also to credit the story of Prince Mi.doc's Welsh immigration, and argues favorably to its adojition. lie 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 Islunds contributed to jMipulate the western coasts of South America. Grotius, in a treatise printed in 1643, rep'ie' vith much more hauteur than logic; and with scarcely any addition of argument.

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 notiiing so exact upon the subject of whi h lie 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 mhabiting northern and central Asia, that they must be the descendants of emigrants from Tarcary. He is confident tliat 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 teurs le de vols, \s,pp. d 21 850 rimes, many imners, lans of Intancc Ing the Iject of Indians ' antiq- |aus, to lations Ivnts of Iprovcd Bt that Id hove Indian Billiographjj. 209 offorcd but little obstacU; to the crossing of the Tartar horde, which peopled America.

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 mtcUigence. Had he written no other work than the New Voyages, it is probable that it would have exj)erienced no lack of esteem, but his Relations even when scrupulously exact, have felt the malign influence of the skepti- cism and infidelity which he infused into his sub.scquent work, iJialofjues be- tween the Author and a Sauvaf/e. The present work is a translation of his Voi/- age originally published in French in two volumes, 1703, and of his Dialogue in the same language in one volume, 1704. 14 ; I? h' : r \M m t f n li- i . ; 210 Indian Bibliography. The first work, New Voyar/es to N. A., occupies the whole of Vol. I. of the tmnslation, and ))p. 1 to 89 of Vol. II.

And on pp. 287 to 3tW, is " A Short Dictionary ol' the most Univirsal Langua^i! of the Savages," being a vo- cabulary of tile Alg<(nist of nine, or by some notations (when the Carta is separated from the Brevissima Rclacioji), 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, ■ ' r rl^ 'tK nearlj 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 P^urope. 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 publica- 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 del Venerable Obispo de las Cams, 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 librnries possess the original edition of Las Casas' treatises nearly or Suite complete. These are, the collections of the Hon. Henry C. Murphy, . Carson Brevoort, T. W. Field, of Brooklyn. James Lenox, S. M. L. Bar- low, of New York, and John Carter Brown, of Providence. Mr. Brcvoort's copy was obtained at the .sale of the Emperor Maximilian's library in Leipsic, 1869. A curious incident, illustrative of some of the ]iccu- 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 ago 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 flace in San Domingo in 1510, where he sang the first new mass, ever cele- rated, 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 tJic humble self abnegiition of a priest. The scenes of bloodshed which he narrates in his works, have thrilled the world with honor 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 arevissimn, having been written twelve vears prior to its publication, would naturally lake the first rank. The 'Trataao Coprahatono, dated in the colophon 1.5.53, and Ixjing a summary of all, except the J'Jxplicatio Rrqcs printed in 1571, was doubtless, the latest printed with that exception. The I'ln'rti/ Profiositions, written in defense of the Twelve lliiles 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 ])ubIication. Examined by similar analysis, the bibliographical history of his treatises siiould, it appears to me, have the fol- lowing chronological sequence : — I. The first work of Las ('asas was written in 1540, and submitted to the Emperor and Council in MiS. It is, in substance, the same as the one after- wards known under the title of Bre.vissima lielacion de la Deatnirrimt df las Indias. Although we now wonder at the boldness of this wonderful treatise, and esteem the courage of Las Casas as little less than su))eriiuman, it is probable that it once contained much more to surprise us witli its te- merity. The allusions to persons who perpetrated the dreadful acts of cruclry he related, were douutloss well understood ; but Mr. Help's assumption that the memoir when first presented contained their names, is not warranted by the assertions of Las Casas himself. In his Prolajo to the Ili'pliras 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, .... ami without going beyond the circle of generalities, I have rigorously imposed a law upon myself, never to name any one of my adversaries."-^ (Z>/.s//t//a con Seputveda, verso of folio 29, edition Sevilla, 1552.) Wherever he found Indian Bibliography. 217 ISC of in ted tfikes the fol- to the ni'tiT- nn (h (U-rfiil miin, its tc- uelty I that tccl hy in the yon, . ilTUl nosed Jis/iuta found It necessary to refer to nny one of the perpetrators of the cruelties he de- scribes, he peneraily terms him, "this tyrant" or " that oppressor." The Bievissima Relacion remains to-day almost unimrallcleu in the vigor of its composition and the nobility of its design. Yet this noblest worii of philanthropy was, by a strange perversity of fortune, dedicated to Prince Philip, fated to become one of the most inhuman monsters who ever filled a throne. The work is divided into nineteen Articles, each ])ortraying in detail 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, II. The date of the tract which I place as the second work of Las ("anas, is very uncertain, as it has neither titU'-[)agc or colophon. It commences Lo que Se si^ue es un pfdaco de una Carta, and is usually found ap])cndcd to the Brevissima 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 Induins which he narrates. ill. His third "work was probably written soon after the Bren.ssinia /?e/«cion, and followed in the same order of publication. It is entitled, Entre los Remedios para reformacion de las Indias. ^Among the llemedies for the reformation of the Indies.) The treatise is divided into twenty sections, entitled Razones, or " Reasons why the Indians should not be disjwsed of in Repartimientos." IV. The fourth printed work of the venerable prelate, was probably the one entitled Aqui se cotiene unos ausius y refjlas para los Con/es.iores, 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 held repartimientos, or who did not restore the avails of unrecjuited 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 confioversy with the eminent scholar and casuist Sepulveda, was the origin of this treatise, entitled, Aqui se cotiene una disputa vel Dr. Gines Srpulveda. This remarkable man, whose learning and elegance of style obtained for hiin the title of "The Livy of S,ain," had written a work entitled, Democriius Sicundiis, 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 Bihiiotheca Vetiistissima, says that after diligent search, he could not ascertain that the Democriius Alter had everlieen 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 concpiest, was alarmed by the awl'ul narratives of Las •'"'asas ; and Sepulveda's work slept in MS., from which it has never awakened. The author, however, iiartially evaded the royal mandate, and printed three years after at Rome, some of its j)rincii)al arguniuiits in a work called Apoloqia pro Libro dc ,/itntis Billi Cansis. Of this liftli printed work, more than one edition bearing the date of 1562, was published. The copy in my possession has thirty-three variations in the title and colophon from the one in the library of Mr. Mrevoort. The work is divided into three sections, of which the first is a summary of the motives which have given rise to the contradictory ojiinions of Las Casas and Sepulveda ; prepared by the learned monk Domingo de Soto. Article II. contains the objections of Dr. Sejiulvcda to the reasons of Las Casas, both as stated by De Soto and as drawn from 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 C^asas is entitled, I'Jste es un Tralado q el Obispo de Las Casus . . . sobre la maUria delos ludios, 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." ■■■ ■: 1' ' r ' \lh f1^ li.

The eighth work of the Bishop of Chiapas was written and printed in Latin, under the title Principia i/iteda ex (jitibus procedenduiii, etc. " Cer- tain i)rinciples to 1k3 estal)lishe II., .shonid have lis- tened and assented to them.

Tiiis was his greatest work, the " History of the Indies ; " which to the rejrret of all the lov- ers of historic truth has never been printed. Tlie Manuscript has more than once been faithfully copied, and one of these transcripts rests in the library of iMr. James Ixsnox of New York. Two other co|)ies are said to exist in the United States. The MS. copy made for Mr. llich is comprised in four folio volumes coverin;; 3,647 pages. The work is characterized by all the vif^or of expression, elevation of style, and minuteness of statement, which give sneh decided jHjrsonality to Ids other writings. It has proved a mine of almost exhaustless riches to other writers. The prince of historians, Anto- nio Herrera, filled his decailes with its wealth, and later writers, Itobinson, Prescott, and Helps, have enriched their pages from its stores. XIII. His last work was written in 1504, 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 I'edi-o de Cordova, " I charge you i!S you would escape the pains of hell," — and once more he armed himself for !)attle, to rescue his beloved Indians from oppres- sion. This treatise remained in manuscript for two hundred and lifty-eight years, when it was printed by Llorente in 1822, under the title, Jiisiwnse anx ijHCslions qui Itti out ete, piDposi'es, snr les ({(/'dires cln I'vrou en 1554. It occupies 155 paires of the second volume of the French edition. The editor fixes the date of the Ues])i)nse in 1504, several years before the discovery of Peru. It is prol)alple, however, that the error is only typographieal. Llorente has done but scanty justice to tiie works of Las Casas. He wholly omits the Princijiia Qiiiclmn, and the liei/las para los Voiifssores, and seems to have been unaware of their existence. He printed what he styled a translation of the treatise entitled. Question dp, iin/n'riUurii vet re.ijia pol' 8- tate, ))rinted at Frankfort in 1571. (" Fssay n|)on the ([ucstion wliether 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 autlior with his other treatises in 1552. I have not at- tempted to translate each word and p'. rase of my author . . . . Unhappily this celebrated man paid tribute to a bail scholastic taste .... in (pioting authors who convince nobody to-day." ('' Kniin je ])iiblie une traducti(jn libre de Las Casas avec 1' intention de rendre le lecture deeet auteur plus support- able pour notre temps.") — Llorente, Vol. II. p. 117. In the note to the writings of Las Casas the theorv that Las Cnsas Imd printed other works is founiled upon his einineiation to the council in liis dispute with Se|)ulveda: " Esta materia cinos largamente expiie^ilo en niit- chos nuestros traetados (pie en latin y romance auemos escritos." ("These matters I have more particularly explaiueil in many other treatises, wiiicli may be found both in Latin and in Spanish in my writings.") It will be seen that Las Casas says "writings," and several of his works it is said, siill 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 among the learned in maiiuseri))t, for several years before they were j)rinted. Sneh was indeed at that ])erio(l the usual form of ])iiblication. Thirteen other treatises are noticed in Mr. Sabin's Dictionary as having been written by Las Ca.sas, which remain in manuscript, or are lost, lint a careful examination of the catalogue of their titles, I think would reduce their number to five. Numbers Band 13 are witliout doid)t identical, as are also ]»robably 5-8, and 14. Of No. 4, entitled " Discussion of the IJishop 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 yeara after that date, and the discussion ,'! ! . t ' Ul '■ !

Tlio belief in tiic existcnee of trciitiKCH 5, G, iiiul 7, of this liHt, is founded only upon the relation of Llonmtc, whose knowledge of LoA Casas' works was imperfect, and his statements inexact. Nos. H and I'i, also, as stated in the list, are believed to be identical. No. 9 is identical with the work noticed in my catalogue a.s Erplicalio QudHtinuis Vtruin lieeen copied with inter[K)lations, abrid;;inents, and paraphrases not only, but two or more of them have been occasionally tused into one.

In Holland, where the works of Las Casas appeared as Narrutio liefiloiwin Spirgels and Warrhdjliijcis, with- out number, the j^enius of l)i Bry was called into requisition to illustrate them with scenes of frightful atrocity, in order to tire the hearts of the Nelh- erlanders with hatred of the Spaniard. In France every war with Spain produced an edition of Mirmir'n den Critaiitez jnir Las Cams. The Spanish Armada, and the Falk-land Islands' dispute produced popular editions of Teari of the Indiann, Account* of Sf>aiii.H/i Cruelties, and Old Emjland Forever, in endless number, and hoiteles?' confusion of the works of the t:;ood Hishop. His ten jirinted works have appcaicd with more than eiy;hty distinct titles, and wo have yet to learn whether all that is attributed to him by some titles is au- thentic. .\. noble work by Mr. Arthur Helps, The Sininish Conquast of Am- erica, of which his Life of Las Casas is an oDshoot, (Iocs such justice to the labors of the apostle, as leuming genius, and love of goodness may do, in its beat. 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 seventy. One that has fallen under niv notice does not by weight of argument, or veracity of testimony, niucli affect the massive structure of his arraignment. It is iirinted in Italian and Spanish, the title of which, translated into Knglish, is — " Impartial reflections upon the Humanity of the Spaniards in the Indies, in answer to the pretended philosophers and politicians. To exj)lain the His- tories of Messrs. Kaynal and llobertson. Written in Italian by the Abbd Don Juan Nuix, and translated with some Notes, by 1). 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 ot the in- troduction of negro slaves into Anierica. The facts regarding this charge are very far from complex, being wonderfully dear and conclusive in his exculpation. Negro slaves had been introduced into Hispaniuia some years, when Las Casas, looking altout for some means of ameliorating the horrible sufferings of the Indians in the mines, where they were perishing 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. Las CASA.S.

The fi-i;;htl'al 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. Tho contemplation of these hideous acts of cruelty leaves some sense of gratitication in the consideration of a punishment greater than death. pp. l/-f .■■(' \l\ f'.i 222 Indian Bibliography. r' Pi ■•J i: I,: Las Casas (Bartholome).

Neither of these editions of the French translation were published with plates. This book is a translation of one of the Spiegels, with the plates enKxaved by the De Brys for the edition of 1598, Narratio rcgionem 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, Tymnnee Espagnole perpe- tres au P u/s Bas, although it is entirely independent in subject and pagin- ation.

Wail fy Son, 1827. 892 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 Viages, y Descidmmientoa que hicieron nor mar los Espiu/noles desdejines del Stylo XV., etc. The narrative is an English translation of only a small ))ortion 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 Ciisas, are distinguished by speaking of Columbus as the Admiral, while the journal of the latter is in the first person. Lathrop (John).

Luwson was a land surveyor in the employment of the government, and was tiie unhappy cause of the exile . of the Tuscarora tribe to New York, and its consecjuent incorporation into , the Iroquois Confederacy, by which its name wius changed to the iSix Nations. As the surveyor was the precursor of the settler, who seized upon and occu' ' pied the lands of the savages, he wls always the especial olject of their detestation. A great conspiracy, it is asi erted 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 River 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 Hath, 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 80 disastrous to them that the Tuscaroras abandoned their native soil, and fled to New York.

With the victories gained in Canada by the forces of his Majesty over the English and the Iroquois in 1690.] Father Le Clercq has left a remarkable record of the labors of his brethren the Recollects, in converting the I'agan tribe of Gaspcsien Indians, lie not . only recorded the results of his own mi.'^sionary life among the savages in- habiting the shores of the St. Lawrence, but be has lift us what has always been considered, an authentic account of their pec\iliar traits of chnnicter, religious rites, and mode of life, before these lunl been moditicd by contact with civilization. Two subjects, or rather the manner in which tluy wire 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 i lih 1 : ! Indian Bibliography. ^1 their traditions, that its worship was of very ancient origin with them. Father Lc Clercq himself was half inclined to beliive, that the worship of the sacred emblem came to them tlirou{;h the prcaehinj,' of St. Tiiomas. This simplicity of the excellent missionary, ought by no means to weigh against his fidelity as a historian. The second gronnd of criticism is of a ditterent character, somewhat more important, but does not affect the Relation of the Gaspesiens. Lo Clercq was a most zealous Recollect missionary, who having spen^ five years in the dreary country of the Gaspesiens, both of his Relations would have merited the highest credit, if the last of tliem, entitled Etalilissunent de la Foif, did not contain bo manv 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 witli Father Bigot. The most plausible solution of the enigma must be sought for in the political relations of the two orders to the viceroyal government. The Bisho]) Laval, observing the terrible destruction and sutlering caused by the ^^ale of ardent spirits to the Indians, denounced the traffic, with the ecclesiastical ])enalties of the Church attaching to the oftense. The Jesuit missionaries, who saw their flocks wasting under the ravages of the infernal beverage, strongly supported him. Tlie 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 ot Recollects were not so rigid in their spiritual demands, the war assumed jtresently o, sectarian coloring. Fron- tenac, the Governor, had also a cause of pique against the order, as the Jesuit missionaries had strongly opposed his favorite i)r()ject of domiciliating the Indians in the white settlements, and entirely breaking uji their tribal and village organizations. The Recollects, on the contrary, found favor with the Governor by espousing his impracticable theory. ISometime 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 ])laccd under the ban. The Recollect missionaries are by no nietms 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 hi.stories of New France and their Jlissions. Made antagonistic by the relations of their societies to the government, they each belittle tlie 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 Etablissement de la Foi, derides the claim of the Jesuits to extensive reclamation of savage tribes, or ini])ortant discoveries. From what we know of the character of Father Le Clercq, we must conclude that the satirical portion of hih 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 Clerccj's Relation of the Gaspesie is a description of his own field and his own labors ; and the Ktablisscment de In Foi, is a well written history of the Recollect missions and La Salle's voyages. In an historic-1 point of view, its fidelity to the documents upon which it professes to 6e 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 Etablissement de la Foi/ 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 bro' rht to notice by Mr. Lenox in the Hiatorical Magazine of January, 1836. The work 1.^1 i I • I.:;:- .

It will be seen tlmt the vohinics of each edition ajfree in the numbered paj^cs, 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 unon the early history of the Freiich Colonies, has been so pu/.zlinj^, that lustorians and scholars have suunnurily rid themselves of trouble hitlierto, by adopting; one narrator and rejectinj; all whom he derides. It seems to mo that this is not loj^ically tenable ground. When Joutel contradicts Le Clercq's Etablisscment, and Hennepin asserts that it was really written by Father Valentine la Roux ; when Le Clercq doubts the authenticity of the Relation of Lalemant ; and when Charlevoix says the Count Frontenac was the real author of a portion of Lc Clercq's Etablissement de la Foy, we must conclude these charges, and counter-charges, as attributable to the weaknesses of 1 uman jealou.^y, belittling the strength of these good men, but not invalidating the truth of their positive statements.

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 r., 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 ; " " The War with the Chitiinachas," 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 Ivumont.

In a l)il)li()i;raphical view it is also not without merit, as it is uncommon, and brings :<■ not inconsiderable price when ottered for sale.

These sulyects oecujjy all the space from j)ages 100 to 140, and from 207 ;o 379. The colloquy in the Indian ar d French language, and the accompany- ing Vocabulary, fill pages 347 to 379.

This edition of Lesearbot's rare work on the History of New France, differs greatly from both the former. It bus 1.19 ])ages more than tliat of 1009, with a very large addition of matter, and the arrangement much altered. The edition of 1611 has four less preliminary pages, and 94 pages less of text, than that of 1018; while Les Sfuses oceui)y the same number in each. The form ami size of all the French editions is t!ie same, 12° or small 8°. That of 1609 is thought to be complete with oidy two nia])< ; those of 1611 and 1618 are only com])lete when .'ontaining four. The last received the final touches of Lesearliot'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 thi , which the publisher asserts to be the third edition.

A copy of the edition of 1618, without the maps, from Leclercq's collection, in 1817 sold for 251 francs; equal to $100 of the currency of the day. Lescarhot's history is highly esteemed not only for its great veracity, but as the work of a candid and intelligent writer, and the first history of the French settlements in Canada. Charlevoix's praise of him is flavored with a little of his characteristic acidity. " Marc Lescarbot, advocate in the Parlia- ment of Paris, 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 that had been written before him, relating to the discoveries of the French in America, all that passed in French Florida, etc. — lie 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 rarcr than either edition of his Histoire de la Nonrclle France. The first is entitled.

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 ol xviii. and xxvi. chapters respectively. In the Table of Contents tlie Fii*st Booke is entitled, " Wherein are described the three late Voiages, Nauigations and Plantation of New France, etc ; pages 1 to 1.36. " The Si'cond Booke, Containing the Customes and maners of life of the West Indians of New Fniuce, etc.," Preface, pages 1.3.3 and 138; text 139 to 307. From the cone.^-poiidcnce of the letters P E on tlie title with the initials of the name si^^iied 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 Fi-ench 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." "Wliich translation is but a part of a greater volume." It thus appears that the Uistoire de la Nouvelle France was ignoniiniously devoted to an advertising scheme, for selling the lands in Virginia, distant more than seven hundred miles. Nor was it sufficient to rob Lescarbot of hard-earned !■ I ,? ;■;!; ffikiWiii li I 238 Indian Bibliographj. fnme, by utterly ignoring his authorship of the work, but it was greatly abridged ; not however past recognition, for the preservation by the transla- tor, of the divisions of the original, is almost exttct. Erondelle's book is a very faithful translation of the Fourth and Sixth Books of Lcscarbot's History, with the same number of chapters in the lirst, 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. Ii is to l)e regretted that the honesty he evinced in trans- lation, did not survive that labor long enough to place the author's name on the title-page. Lescaubot (Marc).

Small %° Paris, Librairie Tross, ISGQ. 917 This editi( . purports to be a reproduction of the second, which was printed in 1611, and which indeed he announces as the second in his biogranhical sketch of Lescarbot. Notwithstanding this, his reproduction of the title-page gives the date of 1612 (Chez Jean Milot, m.dc.xii.)- Kach volume contains one half and three full titles. The pagination of the text of the " Histoire " ig continuous through the three volumes^ pp. 851. Bars in the text indicate the tenniuation of the pages of the original, and hgurcs in the margin their corresponding number. Vol. I. has (viii.)-t-xx. preliminary pages. In Vol. HI. the " Sommie'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 Lescarbc , in which he guesses at the period of his birth and death. The bibliographical account of nis works is quite as carelessly drawn, for he omits in his list of editions and works, that of Erondelle, London, 1609, Le Conversion des Sanvnges, of Paris, 1610, and the Relation dit Voyage dii Sienr de Poutrinconrt, 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. Those which appear with his name, and their various editions, rank as fol- lows : — 1 .

"^. to VIII. are filled with Kelations, 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 arc written 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 collecti .., is the Journal of an Al)enakis 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 Enrly Jesuit Missions in America, says the author was Father Roubaud. The facts, as narrated by tliis very credible witness, certainly exculpate the heroic Montcalm from the taint of cruelty. Vol. VII. is composed of Letters and Relations of the missionaries among the Natchez, the Illinois, the Indians of Saint Domingo, and of Guiana. A curious identification of the iu)"it> 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 Chicaugoii 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. VIII. contains the Relations of the missionaries among the Indians of Gui- ana, Peru, California, and Chili, in which the characteristics of the Moxes, Chi(iuitos, Pulchas, and Payas Indians, are given with great minuteness and fidelity. Every one of these volumes is crowded with interesting details for the history of the aborigines of the countries in which these wonderful men held their missions.

Philadelphia, 1814. 92S This work was commenced by Captain T^icwis himself, who was on his rouUi 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 direction, 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 16 V.

How large a poriion 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 Tetous, Their Manners, &c. ; " v. " Council with the Mandans ; " vi. " The Party increase in favor with the Mandans — Description of their Ceremonies ; " vii. "Indian mode of attacking the Butfalo 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. Lewis and Clauke.

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 Irenchman." 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, copiew 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 thi 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 tribes.

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 prchminary 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 iu'tlie title. From the lloman numbered page iv. to the Arabic numbered page 13, of Indian Bibliography. J24.9 of A. 954 Volume TI., there is an apfnirent hiatus of i'i};ht pa^jfos, and all the copies of both voiimu's would a|)|ii'iir to Im; iiiipert'cct. This omission of ei;;lit iiuin- bcrs is doiihtiess i be accounted for as follows : The narrative portion of Volume I. was as usual printed helbre tli(! Title, I'relhee, and Talile of (-'on- tents. The printer provided for only a f()rm of four pa;:«'s to contain them, and therefore eommenced the narrative with pn;;e 5. ( >n niakin;; up the volume, Loudon found a net'cssity for more rooui, and let tla^ preliuiiuarv nnitter run on to pa^c xii. When, however, the second volume was printed, the compositor flattered himself that he was too adro't to he eauj;ht in a similar hlunder, and aecordiu^iy commenced the narrative with paj;e 13, without rctleetinj; that the second volume would require neither I'refaco or Introduction. On inakin;; u]) the form, containing? the Title and 'l'ai>le of Contents, it was tound that only four jiM^'es could he tised, ami in consc^ijiu'nee there 'u a hiatus of ei{iht |)af;es (in nii inliiua onlij). Other irre;;ularities of less ini|>ortanc,e occur in this volume. Si^'nature K ends with ))a^'e 72. Si;fna- turo (i commences with pajre Ki. The interveninj; twelve pii;;es are there- fore also si>{ned 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 piige 161, is numhcrcd erroneously 1.'14, in place of 102. The next page is numbered 164 erroneously instead of 163, and the error is continued to page 169, which is followed by another 16'J, 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 consecutivencss of the numbers, by printing the succeeding page 21.5. The next ])age is also numbered 216, thus i)resenting us with two ])ages 216, and two jiagcs 215. The omission which this originatiid, of dropping two pages in the notation, is perpetuated through the whole volume, so that there would really '.« two more pages than are iinlicated 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 arc 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 Whitehall ^ And who was Archibald Loudon I White- hall in New York at the foot of Lake Ohamplain 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 l)e disposed of very readily, as Archibald Lomlon printed a hook of poems unknown to fame, " By Isabella Oliver of Cumberland Co. Pennsylvania, Carlisle, From the Press of A. Loudon, Whitehall, 180.5." So Archibald Loudon, printer, pnblisher. and author, resided at Whitehall in Pennsylvania, and i)rinted his book at Carlisle in the same State. The author-jjrinter also published a volume of miscellanies, an octavo .serial. He is believed to have been a de- scendant of the Samuel Loudon, whose printing-ofltice was sacked, and his Spe thrown into the East River, by the Revolutionary mob under Chris, uykinck ii. 17"5.

Captain Lyon's curiosity led him to ob- serve with great attention, the habits of life, and traits of character of the different tribes of Esquimaux, which his humanity, and good management attracted to his winter quarters. They built their villages near his hips, and permitted a closer familiarity, than any other of the Arctic voyagv. was able to attain. His narrative, therefore, abounds with incidents of their inter- course, and curious anecdotes of Esquimaux life. Lyon (Captain G. F.).

Numerous incidents relating to the savages of these nations, and their sanguinary attacks upon the frontiers, with sketches o'" 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.

It is the testimony of an intelligent gentleman, who had s|)ent 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. McCoy (Isaac).

Durini; this period, he kept a jour- nal of events and incidents of Indian life, wliieh with his letters and re- ports, formed a {jreat mass of material from which to form his history. It IS lav;;ely composed of the records of personal experience ; hut is far from beini; a mere missionary report of relijfious pro;j;ress. It is in fact the work of a hii^hly intelligent man, who recorded with the judgment n'' a historian, while he laiiored 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.

White Kcnnett makes it the tirxt of the eoin|)leto Kn^lish editions, placing it tinder the date of 1.507. What authority lie iiad for his eonelusion, is not even guessed at l)y the authorities of the present day. Mr. Sahin simply (juotes Mr. Rich's note, to the edition of 1612: " Some copies are without date." Ternaux and Stevens do not notice it. It would seem from this ney:ative testimony, to have In-en even rarer than the editions of 1612 and 1628. The name of the author of this work, was I'ietro iMartir, of Anghiera, in Milan, a name which he latinized into Anglo- rift. There is no more warrant for styling him Anglerius than Milanoiso. He is recognized by all Spanish writers by his patronymic, anglicized to Peter Maityr. He was an Italian scholar of a iu)l)le family of Milan, horn 14.5.5, and died at Grenada in Sjiain, 1.526. He possessed eminent ability and learning, and is believed to bo tho lirst writer who noticed in his works the discovery of America by bis countryman Columbus; as he i..* the first who |>ublishcd n treatise descri])tive of the pecidiarities of the natives of the New World, the first decade having been printed in 1504, and the first three decades in 1.516. It was not until 15;J(), that the com])lete work in eight decades was printed. Eden translated the first edition of three decades, and ])rinte(l it with some matters ci)pied from Ovicdo and other authors, in 15r)5. Willes followed his example, and produced the three decades with |)art of the fourth, and some additional materuil drawn from .several historians. Tho first com- plete Knglish edition was printed in 1597. Martvr accompanied cho Count Tendilla to Spain, in I4S7, 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 di|)lomatie mission to Egypt, of which ho gives a relation in one of his works, entitleil Delef/atiuim liabyloniixe. Pope Leo X. appointed bim Prothonotaire Apostoliipie, urid in 1505 be was made Dean of tho (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, CJortcs, Magellan, Calnit, and Vespucius. Beside the great advantage thus acquired, his ofHeial position us member of the council for the Indies, afforded him the in- ■pection of documents of undoubted authenticity. His work therefore, com- posed from 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 tliG 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 translatio' s, as well oa ' 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.

E., 35 pages ; Gookins, Ilis Collection of Indians, 141 pages, etc. The second series has fifteen tracts on the same subjects, including Edwards' Observations on tht Mohfqan Languar^e, xcith Duponceau's Notes, Winslow's Account of the Religion, Manners, and Customs ofth- ' idians of N. E. But it is in the third series that these collections excel in l.-3 number and value of their essays and histories of the aborigines. Sixty-oi. : tracts, illustrating almost every feat- ure of their character and history, are either reproduced, or for the first time brought to light in these volume j. Seven of the eleven reports, to the " Cor- E oration for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Indians," commonly nown as thu Eliot Tracts, are reprinted in this series.

When Mr. Mayer commenced his defense of Colonel Cix'sap, he, in common with all who had niven the snhject any attention, believed that the letter of (ieneral Clarke, whi 'h fully vindicated the memory of Coloin'l Cresap from the charf^e of murderinj; Lo^jjun's family, had never reached President .leU'erson, to whom it was 1 Idressed, as he never modified his aspersions. But later cxaminationB of Mr. Jefferson's papers, have resulted in the discovery of an nnlinp])y fact, for the candor of ^riat statesman. He had received the vindication two years before he published his testimony in 1800, to the veritability of Loyran's speech. The testimony rejjjnrdinf:: 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 Logati, is to credit Colonel Gibson, a fjentleman who never l)cfore or after wrote or spoke in other than the plainest terms, with the composition of the wonderful sj)eech. Mr. Mayer narrates at lenj^th, the manner and i)eriod of the death of Lo^an, which were for a long time in donbt. The chief was assassinated by one of his own tribe, in revcnj^e for ehastisinp; his wife, — a privile<:^o which Indian sachems claimed over every member of their clan. Mayiiicw (Kxperience).

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 Uev. Colonel Chivington at Sand Creek, that we cannot but wonder it 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.

At the surrender of Fort Necessity by Washington, his -^ iiul of the Expedition, together with the letters of Braddock to the Bri.iftli Ministry, and his instructions to Washington, were seized by the French victors. They were immediately transmitted to France, and by order of the French king, printed and sent to every court of Europe, as in- dicating the aggressive character of tne 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 17.57, under the title of A Memorial, etc., and the same year in Dublin under the title oi Review of Military Operations in N. A., and Jour- nal of Major Washington. It is very clear from the French relation that Jumonville was approaching Washington on an embassy of peace, but that Washington, unwilling to trust him, had ordered his advance to be fired upon.

The Society for the Propagation of the (jospel 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 translatA.>d by Mr. Freeman, was enlarged by the interpreter, Lawrence Claestte, 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 jirepared which was |)rinted 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 po»- session were lost. Coventor Haldiman of Canada, moved by their petitions, caused an edition of one thousand copies to be printed in 1780, at Quebec. This was aho in octavo and contained 213 pages. In a few years this edi- tion had also l)cconie 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 enlai-ged and correct version. Colonel Daniel Claus, who had under the direction of Gove' lor Haldiman super- vised the printing of the Queltcc edition, was engagiid bv the Society to revise the impression as it issued from the press. The ct]ition of 1787 is declared in the Preface to be much more correct that) any previous one, — a merit which it probably owes to the accurate know'icdt'e of the Mohawk lan- guage, possessed by Colonel Claus. All the oth 5r 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 Kcv. Mr. Freeman, a missionary among the Monawks about 1706, but remained in MS. This tran.slation was given to Mr. Andrews, and used as the basis of Lawrence Cloesse's translation of the Catechism, the Litany, etc., printed in 1713. 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 pregress. 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.

The wars ot the Spaniards with the uncon- quercd Araucanians, have alTordcd 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 ./Eneid, formed his Araucania on their story. The Ablie Molina has told in his volumes, in almost equally glowing prose, the narrative of tho heroic struggle of these savages for freedom, lie obtained from the Abbe Olivarez, MS. history writ- ten prior to 1 665, 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.

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 mud, and the wildest speculntions have not been without their advocates. These, the grim silence of their history, fori)ids ever to Ik; proven true or false.

The pamphlet narrates the destruction of the feeble remnant of the Concstoge triln;, by those whose bodies must have been inhabited by fiends from hell, instead of human souls. The inhuman slaughter of Ci.ristian 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.

It is the work, not of one man only, but of many 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 m 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.

The ma8s..cre of Jiicutenunt Bu^d nr.d his party, has attracted the interest and sympathy oi' a vast number of read- ers, but there are few that have heard the story which mi>kcs his fate seem almost a just retribution. " When the company of which ho 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 fulltil them. As he turni i a deaf car to her en- treaties, she terminated the scene, by beseeching his Maker to prevent his returning alive, if he abandoned her." Simms' History of Schoharie County.

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 cajjable, 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 Alwriginal 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 posses.sion 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. Indian Bibliography. 995 0'CALLAOn\N (E. B.).

Albany : 1SG3. 1147 As late as 165.5, the Indians of New York were revenging the murderous slaughter of four hundred of their cotintrymen at Pavonia, by that sanguin- ary coward, Governor Kieft. The petition .shows that three hundred of the Dutch colony had Ik-ou slain, and one hundred carried away captives. So audacious had the fierce Inflians Iwcome, 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. OccoM (Samson).

He was the first Indian pupil, of the celebrated Eleuzer Wheclock, 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 jrdained 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 contribucions 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 1 792. 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. OoDEN (o'jhn C).

This work in any condition, ranks among the rarest of New England im- Srints, while a perfect copy with good margin, is very difficult to obtain, lore 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 sjiend a year or two in New England, in your colledgc, for ye p'tecting 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 l^rovince, at the period of his death, in December, 1726, 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 serve the corporation for the propagation of the gospel among the Indians, as a missionary, after he had made himself acquainted \\h\\ their language. Whether he ever really performed that service is uncertain. Hia MS. diary kept with great care, and covering a great portion of his life, was destroyed in the conflagration of Portsmouth, 1802.

The latter personage accompanied Columbus in his second voyage. The title is sometimes an inch or two longer than the volume, and folded back, or torn away below the date, in whicli 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 a horrid festival of cnnuibalism, or in some appalling scene of massacre and torture perpetrated upon them. A curious biblio- graphical history attaches to this volume.

Alienation of the Ddaware and Shawnesse Tribe oj Indians. It exhibits in a still stronger light the intrepidhy and self-devotion of this noble Quaker. Since the days of Uegulus no more perilous mission has been undertaken by a single man. Braddock bud been defenti.'d, and eight hundred white soldiers slain. Forbes was jjri'paring for his invasion of the Indian territory. Pitiless massacre reigned on both sides. Kewards that would have tempted all the fien'C bor- derers a year before, were otK'red in vain, ntitil Christian Post, rejecting all others of comi)ensation, and solely for ))('ace and mercy's sake, si't out upon his mission.

A hundred times were savage arms raised to destroy him, and a hundred times by little less than uiiraules, the blows were averted. Hw- 816 Indian Bihliography.

Woodward, Roxbury : 1866. 1236 The publisher printed two sizes of this translation of Pouchot's memoir, fifty-seven of the edition of two hundred copies being ir large quvto. 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, regardm^ the loss of Canada to the French monarchy. His work is full of the details of Indian warfare, the narratives of theif skir- mishes, and battles with the Dnglish, 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 anu Manners of the Indians or North America," in which the author more par- ticularly relates the peculiarities of the natives of Canada.

Mr. Prescott made liberal use for this purpose of the MS. Relaciones of Fernando de Alva Ixitlilxochitl, the native Aztec historian, a sketch of whose lile has been already given. The principal, and as Mr. Prescott ajscerts, the only comv^ete work of Ixitlilxochitl, is the Historia Chickemeca, i)rinted in Span- ish Dv 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 witn 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 i»but one point at which we hesitate to follow hits 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. Prescott (W. H.).

It is derived from sources which entitles it to a far greater credence for authenticity, than any other trcuasc 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 leftmed from them.

AnionLT those whose voluminous MSS. iiave enabled Mr. Prescott to present such a compiict, lucid, and authentic account of the con(|ucst of Peru by the Incas, and of their reign for two hundred years before they lost tiie empire, to the Spaniards, those of Sarmicnto and Ondetrardo excel in authenticity. The first compiled a history of tiie ancient Peruvians, derived from such materials as lie olitained from the ancient Indian nobles and ])riests. Sar- micnto'. C, printed by Wm. Q.

The original work printed in Portuguese, at Evora in 1557, of which this is a translation, may perhaps be con.sidered as the rarest woric 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 aa 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.

The Relations of each year are paged separately, and form therefore forty- five distinct memoirs, which are required to rai\\z the work complete. A table of contents to each volume, divided into years and relations, facilitates the collation. At the end of the third volume will be found a general index to the whole work. This is the most extraordinary and valuable collection of material, relating to the history iind life of the Indians ever made. It is composed of the narra- tives 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 wer; 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, althouglj several collectors have closely aj)proachc(l 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. Removal of the Indians (The). 1.

Boston, Dutlon ^ Wen(worth, State Printers, \SiO. 1285 This report exposes anotlier of those schemes of villnny which the nfjents of the government have been so fertile in produeing. The details ot carefully planned delusions, by which the Indians were cheated of tiieir lands ; of the connivance of the government; and of the bribed collusions its commis- sioner with other plunderers ; are so unifonn and so constaii i/herever the Indian is concerned, as generally to lack the interest of novelty. In this case the story is more revoltinf^ than usual. The United States commis- sioner, Mr. Gillel (may his name l»e infamous), boldly announced himself on the side of the robbers. These speculators had procured the sij^natures of sixteen chiefs to their deed of cession, but when in the presence of the infamous Gillet, sixty-three others desireti to execute a protest against l)eing 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 Srocurcd. The committee report the facts with many civil regrets, that the tate bhould have been deluded into aiding the robbery of the Indians, and recommend after the settled fashion of committees, that nothing bo 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.

Not less heroic and astonishing, ai-e the devotion and lahor of the modern avaiit-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 anunig barbarous nations.

Atlas of plates imperial oblong 4° Iviii. pages of plates. This work was the result of toilsome research, by two learned gentlemen, Dr. Tschudi, a German, long resident in Peru, and Dr. Riviero, a native of that country. Their contribution to ethnological and philological science, has been esteemed by the learned world among the most valllai)]^, after that of Humboldt, of those relating to South America. The first 'lume 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 exnniiiiation of the prin- ciples and grammatical construction of the Qiiichua language; and on pp. 98 to 100 i.s 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 that number of objects. The structures of the Incas, both as now existing and as restorcjd 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.

This woric is occasionally found separate from the (Jrand Voi/w/i', and hav- ing a distinct title and pat^ination, lias, hy some, U'cn considttrcd a coin* plete work, but its announcement on the title of the Grand Voyagf., deter- mines that question in the ncj^ativo. It is said to have been the jierusal of this Dictionary, that induced Lord Monboddo to undertake his work on the Origin and Prmjrfss of' /.am/naiie, but what book incited his theory, that mankind had protjn'sscd from the monkey, by assertitif? that a savajjo nation had been discovered with the rudiments of tails, is not stated. Father Charlevoix speaks slijifhtinnly of Saj^ard's Dictionary, but his judg- ment upon the histories of New France is commonly sharp and censorious. Regardmfj Fiither Sapird, it is exi)ressed in these words, " The author of this work spent some time amon^ the llurons, and relates naively all that he saw and heard on the spot, but ho had not time to see thinj^s well enough, still less to verify uU that was told him. The Huron vocabulary which he has left us, proves that neither he, nor any of those whom ho consulted, was well versed in tliat 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 rend Father Sagard's Grand Voyage and Ilistoire, 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 months and six days, during which he endured such sufferings, that he says the whole of his lite 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 lie wrote tho work we have con- sidered, and four years subsetjuently, 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 woiks are excessively rare, the Histoire du Canada being much the most difficult to procure. Sagard (F. Gabriel).

The second and fourth parts of the Ilis'toire du Canada, are little more than extensions of the Grand Voj/nnr. and Dirtionary. The travels and inissioiiary labors of the Recollects auion;; the Indians of (Canada, for nine years before the arrival of Father Sagard, form the subject of Hook I. The narrative of his Grand Voyage to the Country of the l/urons, which ajjpearcd 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 Voyayc, with new matter increasing it from 85 to 135 pages. Book IV. contains the histon" 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 v{hich 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 Faiher 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.

He claims for it a veritability 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. Saoean (Mathieu).

[Extract from the llelation of the Adventures and Travels of Mathew Sagean.] 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 douV':less 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. Squicr.

All that relates to the religion, customs, government, and wars of the Aztecs, was examined in a manner so critical, so patient and tiiorough that no history was ever conceived, or brought forth with more ialior.

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, fcvery 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 1 uthenticity 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 with the fnctograph originals, were then subjected to revisal, by another body of earned 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. Tho 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 ' gue, and he now commenced the labor of translation into Spanish. The ..iinuscript in two great folios, with the two ver.-^ions of Mexican and Sp.inish, in paral- lel columns, was sent to Madrid, where it slept unheard ol for more than two hundretl pears. First brought to light by Munoz. who discovered it in a convent of folosa, 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, arc 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 1829, as a fourth volume of the Historia General. It was printed separately in Mexico, 1840. The MS. of a third work was found in Mevico, b BeitrHini. It is entitled, Evangelia- rium, Epistolarium et Lcctionarii,.i 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. St. Clair (Maj. Gen.).

So few copies have survived the holocaust to which it was devoted, that its very existence was unknown 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 Kev. Daniel Clark Sandere, 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 Repository. The animus of the critic was evidenced, not only by the bitterness of his language, but by his ig.iorance 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 Ilemmenway, who published memoirs of him, men- tion his authorship of the Indian wars. Sanfoud (Ezekiel).

He resided for three years at Onondaga, the site of the council-tire 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 around 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, ho emigrated to America in 1739, and died at New riiiladelphia in 1808. During the greater part of his sixty years of residence among the al)origines, Zeisbcrger and his fellow missionaries, wrote voluminous journals of the incidents of their every-day lifie, 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 assures us, are still prese»-ved, and have formed the basis of his work. Zeisberger's printed works may bu found under the following titles : — 1. Essay of a Delaware Indian, and English Spelling Book, pp. 113. Philadel- phia, 1776. 2. The Same, reprinted. Philadelphia, 1806. 3. A Collection of Uymns, for the use of the Christian Indians, pp. 358. Phila- delphia, 1803. 4. The Same, reprinted. Bethlehem, 1847. 5.

The Manuscript works of Zeisbcrger, are much more numerous than his printed books. Those deposited in the library of the American Philosoph- ical Society in Philadelphia, are, — 1 .

Onondagnische Grammatica, a complete grammar of the Onondaga lan- guage. This was translated into Knglish 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 Zeisbcrger, 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 Zeisbcrger 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 work written by himself, and newly published, with corrections of the names of the cities, countries, and rivers, oy Levinus Hulsius, Nuremberg, 1599.] A French translation of Schmidel's narrative, printed by Ternaux-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 Cabcfa de Vaca in their conquest of the countries south of Brazil. His history bears internal evidence of voracity, 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 arc 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 Cabe^a de Vaca. Schoolcraft (H. R.).

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 cereiils, the Maize, was one of the most wide-spread and universal of all aboriginal myths. It would not be as difficult as many other propositions regarding the Indians, to traco it through almost every tribal organizatioa in North iunerica.

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 encyclopedia of information 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, narra- 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 tne 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. Sbayer (James E.).

The minutes of the trial of Arbuthnot and Ambrister are here furnished, and the feeble character of the evidence by which they were convicted and exe- cuted, only renders the horrible crime of murdenng tlicse 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. * ill ,; !

Numerous editions of that author's works seem to have been printed without his connivance, and the unscrupulous publishers en- largeu and abridged them at will. They mudo poor Hennepin the pack- horse to bear anything they wished to say, however foreign to his designs, and he is thus hold responsible for much perhaps which ho would havo 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 thereon the 5th of November. 8hea (Jean Marie).

The murderous wretch Aguirre, who by his sanguinary massacres becniae the leader of the force, was ecpially cruel in his thirst for the blood of the Indians and of his own countrymen. The progress of this bloody monster, througli 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 t)ecause the victims weit only Indians.

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 cdimtry, whose halftold story constantly lired his brain with the desire to complete. This homage of an tumble admirer of his patience, zeal, and learning, I could not resist the de- 81 "e to leave on record here. Mr. Buckingham Smith was the translator ant' annotator of many works on American history. In 18.51, Mr. lliggs printed at Washington his translation of the narrative of Cabeca do 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 ])urpose 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 arc 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 :uid character. 2. Of the antiquity, idolatries, und 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 dividcil into four sectioni, treating of the peculiarities of the Apaches, the Pimas, jind the Pajiagos, 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. Smith (Buckingham).

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 Aborigines anywliere in America.

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 . nrobably carried thither in 1767, on the suppression of the order in Mexico. The work has three titles. In the French 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.

Much the greater part of the value of copies of Smith's general history, consists in the jterfection and identity of the map.s. The first edition is the highest prized when it possesses the majis 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 8IV titution of later editions of some of the maps. This uncertainty ex- .ciiLS even to the portraits. That of the Duchesse of Richmond, is gener- ally supposed to have been reengraved, 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 establisli a criterion for testing the question. Only one plate of the portrait has been engraved, and that one is now in the f)osscs.sion of Mr. Dexter of New York. The distinction between the original impressions and the subsc(]uent ones, consists in the cross hatchings Avhich were made after the impressions were taken for Smith's history. In the first all the drapci'y is shaded by horizon- tal lines, the tapestrv in the back ground alone bemg shaded by perpendicn 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.

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 Roone 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. Smith (Colonel James).

I 1442 For nearly a century this book was attributed to Thomas Hutchings, 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 Kev. 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 j)criocl they suffered 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 an-angements first laid down the plan, in following which Geceval Wayne secured the same result. a :' V m .^■n r i > I i^ ^ii and e In ■ jndix iirgh. ppen- 1440 nty, is knowl- lore in- ith an \- (vi.) 1441 us John iest rela- ; derived joriginal le Ohio nd of 1 rigadier I the In- \nd the it of the which 1 on the I Settle- ,ist of I louts.

It is a sad story of heroism, gallantry, and ])atrioti8m 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.

This vast island has nitherto lieen 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 mapstratc at the settlements among them, and studied their peculiarities with great curiosity and diligence. S|)eaking 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 al>original manners.

Originally written in Latin. Prague, 1683.] A rare and very important historical work. It contains the lives and niarty- doinsof the Jesuit missionaries, in the four parts of the globe. Part IV. i.>i 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 coppcr-))lates in the text, representing a sickening variety of tor- tures, each more frightful than the last, almost equaling in refinement of cru- 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 })erhaps 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 Ilurons, the Iroquois, and other nations of New France (part of which is new the State of New York). This part of the work comprises the biographies of Fathers Jogues, Daniel, Brelwuf, Lallemant, Gamier, Chabanel, Beudin, Basil, and Vhuteux. The life of Father Jogues alone filb twenty-seven pages He is represented as being tor- tured by the Iroquois on the 18th of July, 1643, first by three Indians pu»l- 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, Confin- 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 Alegambie, entitled Mortes lUustres Soc.Jesu. Roma. Fo.o, by Alegambe and Nadase. The German edition of Tanner is translated from the Latin, but contains forty pages of additional matter. Tanner (Mathio). Societas Jesu,etc. [Latin original of above]. 1531 Tapia (Zentcno).

Murphy that h-. believed there was scarcely a date correctly given in the whole book, having discovered twenty-two chrono- logical 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.

Providence, R. 1. : 1866. A hiographical memoir of Rojjer Williams, of 60 pp., precedes this new edition of his work njwn the laiiftuage of the Narraganset Indians. Following the memoir, Mr. Trumbull's preface occupies pp. 1 to 16. The Key fills j)p. 18 to 220, 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 b^ the learning and ability, which are the fruit of his long study of the Indian languages of America. Jv'otliing is settled by hypot' sis, 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. Duponccau 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 tiie 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 swcp 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.

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." TsCHUDi (Dr. J. J. Von).

" The benevolent and virtuous Las Casas has been accused of exaggeration and falsehood in his account of the cruelties of the Spaniards to the Indians, exercised upon them soon after the discovery of their country, up to the middle of the sixteenth century. But although his accounts were denied and declared to l)e 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- tiality, and good judgment which distinguished the informants, — the broth- ers L'Uoa." — Salvi.

The sources from wliich Venegas derived his history are a number of relations composed by the missionaries in California, and sent to the I'rovinciai at Mexico, whera 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 ti/wards civilization and Christianity. With the habitual contempt for accuracy which distinguishes English editors of the last century, this translator of Venegas lias constructed a title for the good Father's work to suit his own whimsical taste.

A true Relation, 22 pp. The first iO are unnuml)crcd, and with a running title ; the last 12 without running title, and numbered from 11 to 22. The authorship of this exceedingly rare pamphlet, has been attributed to the personage, whose name is signed to the poem addressed to the Header, 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- tioTi is of even greater rarity than Underbill'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 : from the impossil)ility 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 7'rue 408 Indian Bibliographfj.

J 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 u])on the Indians, which caused them to l)ecome 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 tho highest credit, for not only do they bear internal evidence of truth, but they are corroborated in many instances by other evidence, and i>y the records which we have. His relation of, the disgracefuland disastrous Indian war, in which he was an actor and fiiend of the Indians, is the only authentic one extant, of any completeness, except that of the goverament, and is therefore of great interest and value." Of its rarity, Mr. Murphy says (in 1853) : " The book is one of the rarest to he found, — no ])rinted copy being known to have been extant in this coun- try before 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 tho one of which I give the title. Another was sold by Mr. Miiller, in 1872, (or one hundred and twenty-five dollars. For the one I possess Mr. Lenox paid three hun- dred dollars. Vancouver (Capt.

But a small portion of these great volumes is, however, devoted to aboriginal affairs, and that is only the baldest narration of incidents; but as they contain the earliest nc ' '■s of the natives of the countries visited, and several plates illustrative of their life and appearance, they are placed in this catalogue.

They are perhaps personal experiences, with more or less picturesque coloring. Wright (Robert).

He becomes of course the apol- ogist of the invaders, and endeavors to extenuate their deeds of rapine, de- struction, and massacre.

London : 1842. 1705 An intimate acquaintance of three years with that queer commonwealth, the Mosquito Kingdom, invented and fostered by the tortuous and incompre hensiblc 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. Zarate (D* Augustin de). Histoire de la De' couverte et de la conquete du Perou.

Printed by the government to furnish employment to the printer.] Zarate filled the office of treasurer general in Peru, from 1543 to 1.548. 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.
