The original edition of Rosier's work, A trve

 Prince, published at Bath in 1860. (British

"As it [the abridgement in Purchas's Pil-

Manuscript ; title, 9 pp. of contents in Ger-^ 

 man and English, text 268 pp. in the Unami 

 dialect of the Lenape, 4°. A fragment, for- 

 merly in possession of the American Philo- 

 sophical Society, Philadelphia. Title from 

 Brinton's Len4p6 and their legends, p. 79, 

 whence I take the following remarks concern- 

 ing the work and its author: 



"Roth has left us a most important work, 

 and one hitherto entirely unknown to bibliog- 

 raphers. He made an especial study of the 

 Unami dialect of the Lenape, and composed in 

 it an extensive religious work, of which only 

 the fifth part remains."' On pp. 80-83 of the 

 work quoted, Dr. Brinton gives an extract 

 from this manuscript consisting of Matthew 

 xxii, 1-14, with English translation interlined; 

 and from pp. 78-79 of the same work I extract 

 the following paragraph : 



"Another competent Lenapist was the Rev. 

 Johannes Roth. He was born in Prussia in 

 1726 and educated a Catholic. Joining the 

 Moravians in 1748, he emigrated to America in 

 1756, and in 1759 took charge of the missionary 

 station called Schechschiquanuk, on the west 

 bank of the Susquehanna, opposite and a little 

 below Shesequin, in Bradford County, Penn, 

 sylvania. There he remained until 1772, when- 

 with his flock, fifty-three in number, he pro- 

 ceeded to the new Gnaddenhiitten, in Ohio. 

 In 1774 he returned to Pennsylvania, and after 

 occupying various pastorates, he died at York, 

 July 22, 1791." 



I presume this manuscript has been returned 

 to the Moravian authorities at Bethlehem, from 

 whom it was borrowed by the American Phi- 

 losophical Society; at any rate I was unable 

 to find it during a visit to the library of the 

 society in March, 1889.
