 cdimtiics ln' practiced law as a jinifcssidn, liis 

 bent was t!io study of literary history, whiidi 

 was evidenced by his " Livre des Aua, Essai 

 de Catalogue Manuel, " pulilislied at his own 

 cost in 1837, and by his " Bibllothekonoiuie," 

 which apjjcared a few years later. 



But, even whilst thusengaged, he delighted in 

 investigating tlie rise and progress of the land 

 of his subseipient adoption, and liis rivsearciies 

 into the vexed (jncstion of the origin of tbi' 

 peopling of America gained him the higlu'st 

 consideration, on both sides of the Atlantic, as 

 a man of original and inquiring mind. He was 

 a contributor to Naumann's ' Serapasuni;" and 

 amongst the chief of his contributions to that 

 Journal may be mentioned those on "American 

 Libraries," on the "Aids to American Bibliog- 

 raphy," and on the " Book Trade of the United 

 States of America." In 1846appeared his "Lit- 

 erature of American Local History," a work of 

 much importance and which required no small 

 amount of labor and per.severance, owing to 

 the necessity of consulting the many and widely 

 scattered materials, which had to be sought 

 out from apparently the most unlikely channels. 



These studies formed a natural induction to 

 the present work on " The Literature of Ameri- 

 can Aboriginal Languages," which occupied 

 his leisure concurrently with the others, and the 

 printing of which was commenced in August, 

 18,00, but 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 17'2 pages 

 were in type. It had been a labor of love with 

 him for years; aud if ever author were mindful

 .\iiierie;in Kt liiiologie:il Society, dithdeut him- 

 self as to its merits and value on a siibjt^ot of 

 such jiaramouut interest. He had satisfied him- 

 self that in due time the reward of his patient 

 industry might be the ]irodnction of some more 

 extended national work on the subject, and 

 with this he was contented ; for it was a dis- 

 tinguishing feature in his character, notwirh- 

 standing his great and varied knowledge aud 

 brilli;int aeiiiiirements, to disregard his own 

 toil, even amounting to drudgery if needful, if 

 he could in any way assist iu the ]ironiulgatiou 

 of literature and science. 



Dr. Ludewig was a corresjionding member of 

 many of the most distinguished European and 

 American literary societies, aud few men were 

 held in greater consideration by scholars both 

 in Anu^rica and Germany, as will readily be 

 acknowledged should his voluminous corre- 

 spondence ever see the light. In iiri\ ate life he 

 was distinguished by the best qualities which 

 endear a man's memory to those who survive 

 him: he was a kind and atfectionate husband 

 and a sincere friend. Always accessible and 

 ever ready to aid and counsel those who applied 

 to him for advice upon matters appertaining to 

 literature, his loss will long be felt by a most 

 extended circle of friends, and in him Gennany 

 mourns one of the best representatives of her 

 learned men iu America, a genuine type of a 

 class in which, with singular felicity, to genius 

 of the highest order is combini'd a painstaking 

 and plodding perseverance but seldom met 

 with beyond the coutines of " the Father- 

 laud." — lUoyraphic nifttioir.
