Pp. 1-172. 8°. I have seen of this little miscellany nineteen numbers, paged 
consecutively, each number containing eight pages, except Nos. 10 and 17, which 
contain sixteen, and No. 19, which contains twelve. Begun at the Buffalo 
Creeli Reservation, New York, it was continued after the removal of these In- 
dians to the Cattaraugus Reservation in the same State ; the issue of November 
17, 1846 (No. 17), being the first issued from the latter place. It is partly in Eng- 
lish and partly in Seneca, and was, according to a note at foot of page 8. "the 
first effort of this sort in the Seneca language, and is designed exclusively for 
the siiiritual and intellectual benefit of the Indians." 
Besides biblical reading and pieces of moral instruction it contains matters 
relatiug to their government and business, obituary notices, statistics, &c. No. 
19 contains the laws of the Seneca Nation in English and Seneca. 
The cojiy in Major Powell's library is minus the first two numbers. He has 
a duplicate copy of Nos. 8-18, pp. .57-160, in which many marginal corrections 
have been made by some one evidently familiar with the Seneca tongue.
