"Dr. Ludewig has himself so fully detailed 

 the plan and purport of this work that little 

 more remains for me to add beyond the mere 

 statement of the origin of my connection with 

 the publication and the mention of such addi- 

 tions for which I am alone responsible, and 

 which, during its progress through the press, 

 have gi-adually accumulated to about one-sixth 

 of the whole. This is but an act of justice to the 

 memory of Dr. Ludewig, because at the time of 

 his death, in December, 1856, no more than 172 

 pages were printed oft', and these constitute the 

 only portion of the work which had the benefit 

 of his valuable personal and final revision. 



" Similarity of pursuits led, during my stay 

 in New York in 1855, to an intimacy with Dr. 

 Ludewig, during which he mentioned that ho, 

 like myself, had been making bibliographical 

 memoranda for years of all books which serve 

 to illustrate the hi.story of sijokeu language. 

 As a first section of a more extended work on 

 the literary history of language generallj-, he 

 had prepared a bibliographical memoir of the 

 remains of aboriginal languages of Ajiierica. 

 The manuscript had been deposited by him in 

 the library of the Ethnological Society at Now 

 York, but at my request he at once most kindly 

 placed it at my disposal, stipulating only that 

 it should be printed in Europe, under my per- 

 sonal superintendence. 



" Upon my return to England, I lost no time 

 in carrying out the trust thus confided to me, 

 intending then to confine myself simply to pro- 

 ducing acorrect copy of my friend's manuscript. 

 But it soon became obvious that the transcrii)t 

 bad been hastily made, and but for the valuable 

 assistance of literary friends, both in this 

 country and in America, the work would prob- 

 ably have been abandoned. My thanks are more 

 particularly due to Mr. E. G. Sqnier, and to 

 Prof. William W. Turner, of Washington, by 

 ■whose considerate and valuable cooperation 

 many difficulties were cleared away and my edi- 

 torial labors greatly lightened. This encouraged 

 me to spare neither person.<»l labor nor expense
