Sabin's Dictionary gives an "uncertain title 

 from an auctioneer's catalogue," with the im- 

 print, New Fairfield, River Thames, TJ. C. 

 1836. This was no doubt taken from the pref- 

 ace of the above edition.

 Manuscript, 83 11. sm. 8°. Obtained by Dr. 

 D. G. Brinton, in April, 1885, at the Delaware 

 Indian reservation, Canada. He informs me 

 ■ that the manuscript is complete and well writ- 

 ten, in the handwriting of Luckenbach, with 

 occasional interlineations; that he regards it 

 as the most extensive and complete specimen of 

 the language left by that accomplished Le- 

 napist, and that no one seems to have known 

 of its existence.

The Rev. Abraham Luckenbach may be 

 called the last of the Moravian Lenapists. 

 With him, in 1854, died out the traditions of 

 native philology. Born in 1777, in Lehigh 

 county, Pennsylvania, he became a missionary 

 among the Indians in 1800, and, until his retire- 

 ment forty-three years later, was a zealous 

 pastor to his flock on the "White river and later 

 on the Canada reservation. A short MS. vocab- 

 ulary in German and Delaware is in the posses- 

 sion of his family in Bethlehem, as also some 

 loose papers in that ]singuage.— Brinton.
