In Indian Treaties, pp. 479-482, aud iu Pre- 

 servation and civilization of the Indians, pp. 

 17-19, appear "extracts fiom David Browns 

 letter" dated " Wiliston (Cherokee Nation), 

 Sept. 2d, 1825," in which occurs the following : 

 * * * "The slow progress I make in translat- 

 ing the New Testament," '" * *. "Ihavemade 

 a hasty tr.iuslation of the four gospels, which 

 will require close criticism." 



In the History of American Missions, p. 118, 

 is the following: "On the 27th of September, 

 1825, the translation of the New Testament, 

 from the original Greek, into the Cherokee 

 language, by a Cherokee [David Brown], in 

 an alphabet invented by another Cherokee 

 [George Guess], was completed. As there 

 were yet no types in existence for printing 

 that language, Browns version, entire or in 

 parts, was circulated in manuscript. It was 

 read and copied in all parts of the nation. A 

 translation, made in such circumstances, could 

 not fail to be imperfect ; and another was after- 

 wards made and printed." 



In this work Brown was probably assisted 

 by his father-in-law, George Lowrey, as on the 

 title-page of the Gospel of Mitth(!w, trans- 

 lated by Worcester and Boudiuut, q. v., that 

 work is said to have been compared with the 

 transhuionofGcoigeLowi ey and David Brown.

 shire, England, July 2, 1829; was ordained to 

 the priesthood at Paris, France, in 1858, and was

 connectiou with Indian missions and, as he in- 

 forms nie, has done nothing in Inilian languages.

" The present volume * * * was written evi- 

 dently in the latter part of the seventeenth cen- 

 tury, aud most probably on the banks of the 

 Mohawk. It is a closely written manuscript of 

 116 pages, which has long been preserved in the 

 Mission House at Caughn:iwaga, or Sault St. 

 Louis, near Montreal, adding to the interest of 

 the room where Charlevoix and Latitau wrote. 



"The grammatical sketch is r;ither a series 

 of notes. The nrain work, the Uacines Agniercs, 

 or Mohawk Radical Words, comprises the 

 primitive words of the language, arranged in 

 five conjugations, with derivatives from eiich 

 word, and examples in many cases of gnuat im- 

 portance as explaining tlio manners, habits.

 betical arrangement, it is a very full Mohawk
