[Part of a note book, comprising a

 guages.] 



Manuscript, pp. 32-189, 8°, belonging to Dr. 

 J. Hammond Trumbull, of Hartford, Conn., 

 who describes it for me as follows : 



"The volume of which this is a part— and 

 the only part that relates to American lan- 

 guages — was found in a junk-shop in Albany, 

 If. Y., by Mr. George R. Howell, in 1879, from 

 whom I received it. The first page of the vol- 

 ume had the name of ' E. James, 1823.' The 

 vocabularies, etc., were gathered at a later 

 date, probably in 1825 or 1826. The writer was 

 easily identified by Dr. James's peculiar spell- 

 ing of Menomini and Ojibbeway (Chippewa) 

 words, as in his Appendix; to John Tanner's 

 Narrative, in 1830, and elsewhere." 



Words and phrases in English, Menomini, 

 and Ojibbeway compared, with occasional 

 notes, pp. 32-89, 102-112, 123-139.— Comparative 

 vocabulary in English, "Hoo-ohaw-gor-rah or 

 Winnebago," and "Dab co-tab Sioux, " pp. 90- 

 95. — Words and phrases, English and Dahcotah, 

 pp. 96-102. — Numerals, in several dialects, pp. 

 121, 122. — Names of the months, in Menomini, 

 interpreted, pp. 138, 139. 



Edwin James, geologist, born in Weybridge, 

 Yt., August 27, 1797; died in Burlington, Iowa, 

 October 28, 1861. He was graduated at Mid- 

 dlebury College in 1816, and then spent three 

 years in Albany, where he studied medicine 

 with his brother. Dr. Daniel James, botany 

 with Dr. John Torrey, and geology under Prof. 

 Amos Eaton. In 1820 he was appointed botan- 

 ist and-geologist to the exploring expedition of 

 Maj. Samuel H. Long, and was actively en- 

 gaged in field work during that ye iT. For two 

 years following he was occupied in compiling 

 and preparing for the press the report of the 

 " Expedition to the Rocky Mountains, 1818-'l9" 

 (2 vols, with atlas, Philadelphia and London, 

 1823). He then received the appointment of 

 surgeon in the U. S. Army, and for six years 

 was stationed at frontier outposts. In 1830 he 

 resigned his commission and returned to Al- 

 bany. In 1834 he again went West, and in 1836 

 settled in the vicinity of Burlington, Iowa. —
