PREFACE. V 



tlie case of 373. lu this latter reading, collations and descriptions have 

 been entered iuto more fully than had been previously done, and capital 

 letters treated with more severity. 



It has given me pleasure to make acknowledgment throughout the 

 work of the kind ofiflces of many persons to whom I have placed myself 

 under obligation. To several, however, I am under special indebted- 

 ness, notably to Mr. Wilberforce Eames, for his constant aid and advice 

 in bibliographic matters; to Mrs. A. E. W. Robertson, so long and so 

 favorably known as a missionary to the Creeks ; and to the Eev. John 

 Edwards, the Rev. John Fleming, and the Rev. R. M. Loughridge, 

 missionaries to the Muskhogeans, for much and varied information cou- 

 cerniug the writers and writings in these languages. 



As in all my bibliographic work, my principal aid in preparing this 

 catalogue has come from my assistant, Mr. P. C. Warmau, upon whom 

 has fallen much of the detail and minutire inseparable from such a 

 work. It bears its own testimony of the faithfulness and accuracy with 

 which he has performed his task. 



Washington, D. C, May 15, 1889.
