[Philadelphia: William Bradford. 

 1688?] (*) 



Title from a list of " Books Printed and Sold 

 by "William Bradford in Philadelphia," in a 

 copy of Daniel Leeds's "Temple of "Wisdom," 

 Philadelphia, 1688, belonging to the Historical 

 Society of Pennsylvania. 



Concerning this advertisement, Mr. Charles 

 E. Hildeburn "writes me as follows : ' ' "While the 

 list of books contains some which Bradford 

 did not print, the book [named above] . . . 

 is among those which I am inclined to think he 

 did, and if so it must be the earliest book on 

 an Indian language printed in the middle colo- 

 nies." 



The original of this book, of which no copy 

 has been found, was without doubt the manu- 

 script "Indian Interpreter" of which a trans- 

 script, dated 1684, is still preserved on file as a 

 part of the Salem town records, liber B, in the 

 office of the secretary of state at Trenton, 

 New Jersey. The manuscript contains a list 

 of 267 words and phrases in the Delaware In- 

 dian language, with English definitions. It 

 has been printed in the "American Historical 

 Record," vol. 1, pp. 308-311, Philadelphia, 

 1872, under the title of ' ' Old Records from New 

 Jersey," with the following preliminary re- 

 marks : 



"The first English emigrants to New Jersey 

 soon discovered the necessity of having a faith- 

 ful translation of the language used by the Ab- 

 origines. This grew out of their social and 

 business intercourse, coupled with the deter- 

 mination to deal fairly with the people — thus 

 avoid dissatisfaction and perhaps bloodshed. 

 The proper authorities of the Salem Colony, 

 with John Fenwick as Governor, have left on 

 record, in one of the books of those early peri- 

 ods, a translation of Indian terms into the 

 English and which was, no doubt, considered 

 the standard in all things pertaining thereto. 

 Several of the manuscript books of the pro- 

 ceedings of the Courts of that Colony are on 

 file in the office of the Secretary of State at 

 Trenton, New Jersey, and often examined with 

 much interest by Antiquarians."
