Note 1362 — Chapter V · (continued 2)

The bibliography of the subject is nowhere exhaustively done. The Proof-sheets of Pilling as a tentative effort, and his later divisionary sections, devoted to the Eskimo, Siouan, and other stocks, though primarily framed for their linguistic bearing, are the chief help; and these guides can be supplemented by Field’s Indian Bibliography, the references for anonymous books in Sabin’s Dictionary (ix. p. 86), and sections in many catalogues of public and private libraries, like the Brinley (iii. 5, 352 etc.), devoted wholly or in part to Americana, and the foot-notes and authorities given in Parkman, H. H. Bancroft, and many others.
