IKOQUOIAN LANGUAGES.

Donck (Adriaeu van der) — Coutinucd. 

 in tlic same Hues, and iu a very marked degree 

 in the rudeness of the vignette. These differ- 

 ences do not appear in the authentic titles of 

 1655 and 1656, in both of ■which the vignettes 

 are identical. Ic is my opinion, therefore, that 

 thi.-, title is a fae-simile copied from the edition 

 of 1656, with which title it appears to agree, as 

 far as it goes, line for line, word for word, and 

 letter for letter, nearly. The only differences I 

 notice are in thesi)ell!ngof the word 'Doctour,' 

 the omission of the two lines, 'Den tweeden 

 Dr'ack,'aud 'Met Privilegie voor 15 Jaren,' and 

 the alteration of the date." 



Upon receipt of this I secured permission of 

 the authorities of the Lenox Library, and of the 

 Library of Congress, to have fac-similes made 

 of the respective title-pages, and they are in- 

 cluded in the body of tliis work.

Relates principally to the periodicals Cher- 

 okee Phffinix, Cherokee Messenger, and Cher- 

 okee Advocate, including interesting details 

 concerning Se-quo-yah and his alphabet, Elia.s 

 Boudiuot, "the first aboriginal editor on this 

 continent," etc. Speaking of the Cherokee 

 Advocate, Mr. Foster says: "Perhaps one of 

 the most remarkable features of the Advocate 

 was the publication from week to week, in the 

 Se-quo-yah alphabet, of chapters from Bunyan's 

 Pilgrim's Progress, which was prepared also 

 in book form." I have seen no copy of this 

 work, nor any other mention of it. The article 

 closes with the following statement: "A small 

 paper was lecently .started at Dwight for the 

 purpose of furnishing religious reading, printed 

 in both English and Se-quoyah's alphabet." 



Galiuni (— ). [Cberokee sacred formu-

Manusciipt, Cherokee characters : .a long 

 folio blank book of 140 pages, nearly tilled. 

 Obtained by Mr. James Mponey on the East 

 Cherokee reservation in North Carolina iu the 

 autumu of 1888, and now in the library of tbe 

 Bureau of Ethnology. 



Gahuni, who died about 1800, was at ctnco a 

 preacher and conjuror, and was evidently a 

 man of superior intelligence. Tliere are but a 

 few of the sacred formulas, but these few are 

 carefully written, with explicit directions as to 

 ceremonies and application. The manuscript 

 is exceptionally neat in appearance. After his 

 death the book fell into the hands of his chil- 

 dren, who hare added a good deal of scribbling. 

 One of them, who speaks English, has inserted 

 several pages of an English-Cherokee vocabu- 

 lary, in wliich the English word, written in 

 English script, is followed by the correspond- 

 ing Cherokee word, together with .in approxi- 

 mation of the English snund, both written in 

 Cherokee characters. The book was obtained 

 from Gahiini's widow.
