In response to certain iucjuiries of mine, Mr. 

 Gill writes me, under date of November 19, 1891, 

 as follows : 



" In your favor of October 27th you re([uest 

 us to supply you with a copy of each edition of 

 the Chinook Jargon which we hav(^ published, 

 and also to state what we may be aldeiu regard 

 to the bibliographj'ot the Cliinookan languages. 



"So far as tlie Chinook Dictionai-y published 

 by McCormick is concerned [see Blanchet (F. 

 N.)], we doubt very much whether we could 

 find, without advertising, a single copy of it at 

 this time. We received from McCormick & 

 Co. some dozens of them of difl'erent dates of 

 publication, but uniform as to contents, when 

 we bought the dictionary from them. Weeither 

 disposed of or destroyed them j'ears ago. It is 

 now about twelve years since we began the 

 publication of our Dictionary of Chinook. The 

 dictator of this letter compiled our dictionary 

 and added hundreds of necessary words to the 

 vocabulary of the English-Chinook, which is 

 yet quite insufficient as a dictionary for ordi- 

 nary civilized people, but more than equal to 

 the demands of the Indians and settlers for 

 whom it was intended. It is, at least, quite as 

 extensive as need be, but not, perhaps, so well 

 selected. I flatter myself that the dictionary 

 we produced in 187S, which I believe was our 

 earliest publication of it, was the first one 

 based upon a right conception of the origin of 

 many of the words comprising the Chinook 

 vocabulary, and also a phonetic basis whieh 

 should produce the form of all Chinook words 

 and the simjilest style corresponding to our 

 method of writing English. We have just 

 issued a thirteenth edition of this dictionary,
