Manuscript, 1G2 pp. folio ; unfinished. 



The author writes me concerning this man- 

 uscript as follows: 



"Under Orthography I discuss letters and 

 sounds, syllables, accent, defects of the alpha- 

 bet, and defects in its use. Under Etymologj- 1 

 classify as 'I) Significant words, including (1) 

 words representing (A) some existence, (a) 

 nouns, {b} pronouns, (13) some action, state, or 

 quality, (a) verbs; (2) Words qualifying (a) 

 nouns, adjectives, (b) vei bs aud adjectives, ad- 

 verbs; (3) Words expressing simply feeling, (rt) 

 interjections. (II) Words which define signi- 

 ficant words and show the relation between 

 them— particles, including (a) prepositions, {b) 

 article-conjunctions. I treat them in the follow- 

 ing order: Personal pronouns, verbs, nouns, 

 adjectives, advjibs, interjections, prepositions, 

 article-conjuuctious aud other pronouns. lam 

 not yet [January, 1887] through the last head. 

 I prepared the work in somewhat this form be- 

 fore the war, and since my return have re-writ- 

 teu and extended it. For help I am more in- 

 debted to my old interpreters, Capt. Noel Gard- 

 ner and Capt. Joseph Dukes, and to the late 

 Rov. Allen Wright, than to any others." 



[Some analogies in the Choctaw 



which throw light ou the use of the 

 tenses in Hebrew. 1887.] (*) 



Manuscript of about 74 folio pages. Con- 

 cerning it the author writes me : " One result 

 of the dilHculty I met with in translating the 

 Psalms [see note under that title] was the em- 

 bodiment of luy notions, in pari, in a paper I 

 recently sent to Professor Whituey, which I en- 

 titled as above. It amounts to a now theory 

 of the use of the tenses."

 prominent features of the language."
