reside ill his nativo city until 1844, wlieu lie 

 i'iiiijj;rate<l to America; but, thoiigli in both 

 countries he practiced law as a profession, his 

 bent was the study of literary history, which 

 was evidenced by his " Livre des Ana, E.ssai 

 de Catalogue Manuel," published at his own 

 cost in 1837, and by his " Bibliothekonoiuie," 

 which appeared a few years later. 



But, even whilst thus engaged, he delighted in 

 investigating the rise and progress of the land 

 of his subseiiuent adoption, and his researches 

 into the vexed question of the origin of the 

 peopling of America gained him the highest 

 consideration, on both sides of the Atlantic, as 

 a man of original and inquiring mind. He was 

 a contributor to Nauinann's " SerapaBum;" and 

 amongst tlie chief of his contributions to tliat 

 journal may be mentioned those on "American 

 Libraries," on the "Aids to American Bibliog- 

 raphy," and on the "Book-Trade of the United 

 States of America." In 184G appeared his "Lit- 

 erature of American Local History," a work of 

 much importance and which required no small 

 amount of labor and perseverance, owing to 

 the necessity of consulting the many and widely 

 scattered materials, which had to be sought 

 out from apparently the most unlikely channels. 



These studies formed a natural induction to 

 the present work on " The Literature of Ameri- 

 can Aboriginal Lajiguages," which occupied 

 his leisure concurrently with the others, and the 

 printing of whicli was commenced in August, 

 1856, but which he did not live to see launched 

 upon the world; for at the date of his death, on 

 the 12tli of December following, only 172 pages 

 were in type. It had been a labor of love with 

 him for vears; and if ever author were mindful

of the nomini prematur in annum, he was w hen 

 lie deposited his man uscript in the library o f the 

 American Ethnological Society, diffident him- 

 self as to its merits and value on a subject of 

 such paramount interest. He had satisfied him- 

 .self that in due time tlu^ reward of his patient 

 industry might be the production of some more 

 extended national work on the subject, and 

 with this he was cimtcnted ; for it was a dis- 

 tingui.shing feature in his character, notwith- 

 standing his great and varied knowledge and 

 brilliant acquirements, to disregard his own 

 toil, even amounting to drudgerj' if needful, if 

 lie could in .any way assist in the jiromulgation 

 of literature and science. 



Dr. Ludewig was a corres]ionding member of 

 many of the most distiiigui.shed Kiiropean and 

 American literary societies, and few men were 

 held in greater consideration by scliolars both 

 in America and Germany, as will readily be 

 acknowledged should his voluminous corre- 

 spondence ever see the light. In private life he 

 was distinguished by the best qualities which 

 endear a man's memory to those who survive 

 him : he wa.s a kind and afl'ectionate husband 

 and a sincere friend. Always accessible and 

 ever read5toaid and counsel those who applied 

 to him for advice upon matters appertaining to 

 literature, his loss will long be felt by a most 

 extended circle of friends, and in him Germany 

 mourns one of the best reiiresentatives of her 

 learned men in America, a genuine type of a 

 class in which, with singular felicity, to genius 

 of the highest order is combined a painstaking 

 and plodding perseverance but seldom met 

 with beyond the confines of " the Father- 

 land." — Biographic moiioir.
