" Mr. Longfellow's sonnet on Eliot's Oak, in 

 the March Atlantic, deserves over-setting into 

 Massachusee. Last evening I made a nearly 

 literal translation, and I herewith send j'ou a 

 copy. J. H. T." The above note precedes the 

 Indian version, which is in twenty-six lines, ex- 

 clusive of the heading. It is followed by the 

 sonnet in English, " literally translated " from 

 the Indian. 



A criticism of this version, by an anonymous . 

 contributor, appeared in the~ Atlantic Monthly 

 for June, 1877 (vol. 39, p. 749), " J. H. T.'s ren- 

 dering of Mr. Longfellow's sonnet into Massa- 

 chusee, "the writer remarks, " has naturally at- 

 tracted a great deal of attention in New Eng- 

 land, and particularly in that section of the 

 country in which I chance to reside — Ponka- 

 pog, namely. In this old Indian village the 

 study of Massachusee has long been one of the 

 lighter relaxations of the inhabitants. At fash- 

 ionable evening parties in Ponkapog the con- 

 versation is carried on almost exclusively in 

 that tongue. As in Concord the children 'dig 

 for the infinite ' instead of making mud pies, 

 like simpler children in less favored localities, 

 so in Ponkapog the very urchins in the street 

 chatter Massachusee over their tops and mar- 

 bles. The increasing interest in this beautiful 

 but too much neglected language warrants mo 

 in pointing out one or two imperfections in Mr. 

 T.'s otherwise faithful translation of Eliot's 

 Oak. To begin with, koonepogquash, in the first 

 line, is obviously a misprint for rackoonepog- 

 quash. Elisions are not permissible in Massa-
