The above title is reconstructed from School- 

 craft's Bibliographical Catalogue (1849), no. 66, 

 where it is entered as follows : " Lenapie Wa- 

 wipoetakse ave Apwatuk. First Lessons in 

 the Delawaie. J. Meeker. Baptist Shawanoe 

 Mission. 1 vol. 18mo. 48 pages. A. D, 1834." 



According to McCoy's History of Baptist In, 

 dian Missions, before the end of 1839, there had 

 " been printed in the Delaware language four 

 books, three of which were small [as described 

 above], and one large ; the latter being a Har- 

 mony of the Gospels, originally compiled by 

 the Eev. Mr. Zeisberger, of the Moravian 

 church, now revised by Mr. Blanchard." 



These books were prepared by Mr. Ira D. 

 Blanchard, ayoungmanwho "hadgoneamong 

 the Delaware Indians from benevolent motives, 

 and was studying the Delaware language with 

 the view of being useful to them." In 1833 he 

 was baptized, and employed as a missionary by 

 the Baptist board of missions to labor among 

 the Delawares in the Indian Territory. He 

 was married to Miss Mary Wilson, one of the 

 missionaries, in 1835. Under their joint care 

 the Indians were instructed in reading in the 

 Delaware language, and also, to a limited ex- 

 tent, in the English language.

Information concerning the authorship of 

 these works reached me too late to enable me to 

 enter them under Mr. Blanchard's name. 



All of these books were printed in the "new 

 system" of orthography, for a brief account of 

 which see Meeker (J.)
