[GANONG] HISTORY OF NEW BRUNSWICK 99 
by Cooper, and forgetting that like the white man’s their training only 
runs into lines useful to themselves, find them net worth the study, and 
dismiss them as ignorant and degraded, or else as an inferior order of 
beings. No scientifie student of ethnology has yet given attention to 
our Indians, and only when such an one gives us the data shall we be 
able to judge correctly of where they really stand in the scale of 
humanity. à 
Chapter I—Introduction : Effect of wild tribes upon settlement in 
general. Logic of division of the subject. 
Chapter 11.—The two tribes, Micmacs and Maliseets, in New Bruns- 
wick ; description of them, and comparison with other Indians of North 
America, and other savage races ; their character as traced in both habits 
and language 
Chapter I1].—Their ethnological affinities. Whence came they ? 
How are they related to neighbouring tribes ? 
Chapter IV.—Pre-historic works and mode of life; their ancient 
village sites ; routes of travel ; divisions between hunting grounds of the 
tribes : 
Chapter V.—Their condition when first found by Europeans ; their 
customs; accounts of them given by Lescarbot, Champlain, Denys, 
LeClere, ete. 
Chapter VI.--Their language ; primitive and as modified by contact 
with French and English. 
Chapter VII.—Their legends, primitive and as modified ; their rich- 
ness has perhaps been overestimated of late—the promise of Leland’s 
work is not sustained by that of Rand; particularly interesting are those 
which explain peculiarities of animals and peculiar features of topo- 
graphy. 
Chapter VIII.—Their history from their discovery down to the 
present ; their present condition ; admixture of white blood ; religion ; 
status in law ; physique (the World’s Fair statistics) ; relation to civiliza- 
tion ; probable future. 
Chapter IX.—Their effect upon New Brunswick history and upon 
her people; this has been slight, but yet appreciable. 
Critical notes upon this section, after the method already detailed.
