James Hammond Trumbull, philologist, 

 born in Stonington, Conn., December 20,1821. 

 He entered Yale in 1838, and though, owing to 

 ill health, he was not graduated with his class, 

 his name was enrolled among its members in 

 1850 and he was given the degree of A. M. He 

 settled in Hartford in 1847, and was assistant 

 secretary of state in 1847-'52 and 1858-'61, 

 ■and secretary in 1861-'64, also state libr.irian in 

 1854. .Soon after going to Hartford he joined tlio 

 Connecticut Historical Society, was its corre- 

 sponding secretary in 1849-"63, and was eleetetl 

 its president in 1863. He has been a trustee of 

 the Watkiuson free library of Hartford and its 

 libi'arian since 1863, and has been an officer of 

 the WadsworthathenjBTim since 1864. Dr. Trum- 

 bull was an original member of the American 

 Philological Association in 1869 and its presi- 

 dent in 1874-75. He has been a member of the 

 American Oriental Society since 1860, and the 

 American Ethnological Society since 1867, and 

 lionorary member of many State historical soci- 

 eties. In 1872 he was elected to tlie National 

 Academy of Sciences. Since 18")8 he has devoted 

 special attention to the subject of the Indi:in 

 languages of North America. He has prepared 

 a dictionary and vocabulary to John Eliot's 

 Indian l)ible and is probably the only Amer- 

 ican scholar that is now able to read that work. 

 In 1873 he was chosen lecturer on Indian lan- 

 guages of North America at Tale, but loss of 

 health and other labors soon compelled his 

 resignation. The degree of LL. D. was con- 

 ferred on him by Tale in 1871 and by Harvard 

 in 1887, while Columbia gave him an L. H. D. 

 in 1887. — Appleton's Cyclop, of Am. Biog.
