"These studies formed a natural induction

 American Ahoriginal Languages,' whii-li occu-

 and the printing of which was commenced in 

 August. 18.56, hut which he did not live to see 

 launched upon the world ; for at the date of his 

 death, on the 12th of December following, only 

 172 pages were in type. It had been a labor of 

 love with him for years ; and, if ever author 

 were mindful of the nonum prematur in annum, 

 he was when he deposited his manuscript in the 

 library of the American Ethnological Society, 

 ditiident himself as to its merits and value on a 

 sub.ject of such paramount iutere-st. He had 

 satisfied himself that in due time the reward of 

 his patient industry might be the production of 

 some more extended national work on the sub- 

 ject, and with this he was contented ; for it was 

 a distinguishing feature in his character, not- 

 withstanding his great and varied knowledge 

 and brilliant acquirements, to disregard his 

 own toil, even amounting to drudgery if need-

" Dr. Ludewig was a corresponding member 

 of many of the most distinguished European 

 and American literary societies, and few men 

 were held in greater consideration by scholars 

 both in Ameriraand Germany, as will readily be 

 acknowledged should his voluminous corre- 

 spondence ever see the liglit. In private life he 

 was distinguished by the best qualities which 

 endear a man's memory to those who survive 

 him ; he was a kind and affectionate husband 

 and a sincere friend. Always accessible and 

 ever ready to aid and counsel those who applied 

 to him fir advice upcm 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 representatives 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

 appeared under his own name. Dr. Maclean has
