There is a work entitled "A journal kept at 

 Nootka Sound by John E. Jewitt, Boston, 1807, 

 48 pages, which contains no linguistics. (Brit- 

 ish Museum.) Sabin's Dictionary, no. 36122, 

 mentions an edition, New York, 1812. 



John Rogers Jewitt was born in Bo-iton, Lin- 

 colnshire, England, May 21, 1783. He attended 

 school in his native town, and at twelve years 

 of age was sent to an .academy at Donnington. 

 At fourteen it was the intention of his father 

 to apprentice him to a physician, but his own 

 disinclination was so strong he was permitted 

 to become an apprentice to his father as black- 

 smith. When about fifteen years of age his 

 'family moved to Hull, wlien, after four years' 

 residence there, he was permitted to ship a.s 

 blacksmith on the sliip Boston, of Boston, 

 Mass., Capt. S.nlter, bound for the northwest 

 coast of America, thence to China and thence 

 to Boston, Mass. In March, 1803, while at 

 Nootka Sound, the ship was captured by the 

 natives, and all on board with the exception of 

 Jewitt and a sailmaker named Thompson were 

 killed. They remained prisoners among the 

 Nootkas until July, 181)5, when they were res- 

 cued by Captain Hill, of the brig Lydia, of Bos- 

 ton.
