REMARKS. 
Delawares (Le-nd-pe).—According to Mr. Gallatin, the Delawares belong to the Eastern or 
Atlantic, and the Shawnees to the Western division of the Algonkin stock. The remnants of 
these two once powerful tribes are now located north and south of the Kansas river. 
A number of vocabularies of the Delaware language have already been published from time 
to time; but this does not render the collection and publication of others undesirable. The 
old vocabularies are, for the most part, very imperfect; the selection of words is not well made, 
their orthography is rude and ambiguous, and they are often disfigured by errors of the press. 
Accordingly, until such time as the whole treasures of the language are collected in a diction- 
ary, it is desirable that new vocabularies, drawn up on improved principles, should be con- 
structed and accurately printed as occasions present themselves ; for, besides that each new one 
supplies some deficiency, corrects something erroneous, or decides something dubious in pre- 
ceding ones, a comparison of the later with the earlier specimens of the language may be 
expected to throw light on the changes it has undergone, 
Mr. Whipple’s vocabulary, which was obtained from a chief of the tribe, named Black Beaver, 
agrees remarkably, allowing for differences of hearing and spelling, with those in Gallatin’s 
Synopsis of the Indian Languages, and in the second volume of Schoolcraft/s History, Condition,
