In Mr. Stinson's preface it is stated that 

 "already have two editions of the Ojibway 

 hymn book, translated and printed under the 

 direction of the Methodist church, passed 

 through the press ; but the increasing number 

 of our mission stations and members reqni es 

 a third and more enla'ged edition." Nothing 

 is said in the preface to indicate that th' so two 

 previous editions were the work of Messrs. 

 Henry and Evans. According to the Rev. 

 Peter Jones, in his History of the Ojibwa In- 

 dians, p. 189, these hymns were first printed for 

 the Canadian Missionary Society.

Henry (Matthew S.) Delaware Indian 

 dictionary. (*) 



Manuscript, 843 pp. 4°, with maps, in the 

 library of the American Philosophical Society, 

 Philadelphia, Pa. It is divided into three 

 parts — 1 English and Delaware; 2 Delaware 

 and English; 3 Delaware proper names and 

 their translation. Compiled in 1859 and 1860. 

 Title and note from Brinton's Len4pe and 

 their legends, p. 86, whencel take tne following : 



"It includes, without analysis or correction, 

 the words in 'Zeisberger's Spelling Book,' 

 'Roger AVilliams' Key,' Campanius' Vocabu- 

 lary, those in Smith's and Strachey's Virginia, 

 and various Nanticoke, Mohegan, Minsi, and 

 other vocabularies. The derivations of the 

 proper names are chiefly from Hecke- 

 "weldei', and in other cases are venturesome. 

 The compilation, therefore, while often useful, 

 lacks the salutary check of a critical, gram- 

 matical erudition, and in its present foi»n is of 

 limited value."
