 directed him to procure statistics and other in- 

 formation respecting the history, condition, 

 and proi5pects of the Indian tribes of the 

 United States. He resided many years among 

 the Indians and zealously improved his oppor- 

 tunities for studying their habits, customs, 

 .and languages. He diiil iu Washington, D. C.,
