Note 54 — PART I. AMERICANA IN LIBRARIES AND BIBLIOGRAPHIES.

The principal interpreter of the Indian languages of the temperate parts of North America has been Dr. J. Hammond Trumbull, of Hartford, for whose labor in the bibliography of the subject see a chapter in vol i. of the Memorial History of Boston. There is also a collection edited by him, of books in and upon the Indian languages, in the Brinley Catalogue, iii. 123-145. He gave in the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, and also separately in 1874, a list of books in the Indian languages, printed at Cambridge and Boston, 1653-1721 (Field, Indian Bibliography, no. 1,571). Cf. also Ludewig’s Literature of American Aboriginal Languages, mentioned on an earlier page. It was edited and corrected by William W. Turner. (Cf. Pinart-Brasseur Catalogue, no. 565; Field, Indian Bibliography, no. 959).
