"Dr. Ludewig has himself so fully detailed 

 the plan and purport of this work that little 

 more remains for me to add beyond the more 

 statement of the origin of my connection with 

 the iiublication and the mention of such addi- 

 tions for which I am .alone responsible, and 

 which, during its progress through the press, 

 have gradually accumulated to .about one-sixth 

 of the whole. This is but an act of justice to the 

 memory of Dr. Ludewig, because at tlie time of 

 his death, in December, 1856, no more than 172 

 pages were printed off, and these constitute the 

 only portion of the work which had the benefit 

 of his valuable person.al and linal revision. 



" Similarity of pursuits led, during my stay 

 in New York in 1855, to an intimacy with Dr. 

 Ludewig, during which he mentioned that he, 

 like myself, had been making bibliographical 

 memoranda for years of .all books which serve 

 to illustrate the history of spoken l<angu.age. 

 As a first section of a more extended work on 

 the literary history of language generally, he 

 had jirepared a bibliographical memoir of the 

 remains of .aboriginal languages of America. 

 The manuscript h.ad been deposited by him in 

 the library of the Ethnological Society at Now 

 York, but at my request he .at once most kindly 

 placed it at my dispos.al, stipulating only that 

 it should bo printed in Europe, under my per- 

 sonal superintendence. 



" Upon my return to England, I lost no time 

 iu carrying out the trust thus confided to me, 

 intending then to confine myself simply to pro- 

 ducing a correct copy of my friend'smanuscript. 

 But it soon became obvious that the transcript 

 had been hastily made, and but for the valuable 

 .assistance of literary friends, both in this 

 country and in America, the work would jirob- 

 .al)ly have been abandoned. My thanks aremore 

 p.articularly due to Mr. E. G. Sqnier, and to 

 Prof William AV. Turner, of Washington, by 

 who.se considerate and valuable cooperation 

 many difficulties were cleared away and my edi- 

 torial labors greatly lightened. This encouraged 

 me to spare neither personal labor nor expense
