Eliot Bible. The translation of the 

 Scriptures into the Algonquian language 

 of the Massachuset, made bv John 

 Eliot (1604-90), the Apostle to" the In- 

 dians, was the first Bible printed in 

 America by the English authorities. The 

 first edition of the whole Bible was pub- 

 lished at Cambridge, Mass., in 1663, the 

 New Testament having appeared two 

 years before. The books of Genesis and 

 Matthew seem to have been printed in 

 1655 and a portion of the Psalms in 1658, 

 by which time the translation of the 

 whole Bible was completed. Eliot was 

 the author of other works in the lan- 

 guage of the Massachuset, and of books 

 about the language and the natives (Pil- 

 ling, Bibliog. Algonq. Lang., Bull. B. A .E., 

 18.91). Trumbull's Dictionary of the 

 Eliot Bible, which is not exhaustive, 

 has been published as the Natick Dic- 

 tionary (Bull. 25, B. A. E., 1903). The 

 Eliot Bible is one of the monuments of 

 missionary endeavor and prescientifie 

 study of the Indian tongues. In his lin- 

 guistic labors Eliot was assisted by his 

 two sons and by several Indians. See

 historic ruined pueblo, consisting of the 

 remains of two blocks of dwellings, situ- 

 ated on the summit of a rock mesa called 

 El Morro, or Inscription Rock, about 35 m. 

 E. of Zuni, Valencia co., N. Mex. The 

 pueblo is reputed to be of Zuiii origin, 

 but there is only legendary testimony of 

 this. The penol is called El Morro on 

 account of its fancied resemblance to a 

 castle from a distance, and Inscription 

 Rock from the occurrence thereon of nu- 

 merous inscriptions carved by early Span- 

 ish explorers. The earliest in date is that 

 of Juan de Oiiate in 1605. For descrip-
