BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE 



Trumbull (J. H.) — Continued. 



• [A dictionary of the Massachusetts 



C'Natick'') language, compiled from 

 John Eliot's translation of the hible, 

 and his other works of translation, with 

 some additions from other sources.] 



Manuscript, 266 11. 4°, written for the most 

 part on one side of the leaf, but making above 

 300 pages in all. In the possession of its author, 

 ■who -writes me as follows concerning it : 



"In this first essay or rough draft of a dic- 

 tionary of the Massachusetts language as itwas 

 written by Eliot, I followed Cotton in entering 

 the verbs under the form that Eliot regarded 

 as their infinitive mood. I discovered ray error 

 when it was too late to amend it— in this draft. 

 Ten years later I began a revision of my work, 

 entering the verbs under the third person sin- 

 gular of their indicative present (aorist), in 

 their primary or simple forms. That revised 

 copy [see the next following title] I have been 

 obliged to leave, at present, incomplete. The 

 materials for supplyiug its deficiency may be 

 gathered from this volume."

 concerning it as follows : 



" In this revision the verbs are entered under 

 the third person singular of the indicative pres- 

 ent ; and many corrections of and additions to 

 the first draft [see the next preceding title] 

 have been made. As will be seen, it wants, to 

 completion, all between Nishk and P and after 

 T(i.e.,V,W,Y)."

Eliot's Bible, and his other transla- 

 tions ; with additions from Cotton's

 other sources. 



Manuscript, 264 11. (written on one side), 4°. 



In possession of its author, who writes me 

 concerning it as follows : 



" This English-Indian vocabulary, or diction- 

 ary, was compiled, mainly, to serve as an index 

 to the ' Dictionary of the Massachusetts (Nat- 

 ick) language' of Eliot's translations; but to 

 add to its usefulness for ready reference, it 

 includes many words notfoundin Eliot's works, 

 from various sources, including several manu- 

 script vocabularies, etc."

James Hammond Trumbull, philologist, born 

 in Stonington, Conn., December 20, 1821, He 

 entered Yale in 1838, and though, owing to ill 

 health, he was not graduated with his class, 

 his name was enrolled among its members in 

 1850, and he was given the degree of A. M. He 

 settled in Hartford in 1847, and was assistant 

 secretary of state in 1847-'52 and 1858-'61, and 

 secretary in 1861-'64, also state librarian in 1854. 

 Soon after going to Hartford he joined the Con- 

 necticut Historical Society, was its correspond- 

 ing secretary in 1849-'63, and was elected its 

 president in 1863. He has been a trustee of the 

 TVatkinson free library of Hartford, and its 

 librarian since 1863 ; and has been an officer of 

 the Wadsworth athenaeum since 1864. Dr. 

 Trumbull was an original member o f t h e Ameri- 

 can Philological Association in 1869, and its 

 president in 1874^'75. He has been a member 

 of the American Oriental Society since 1860, 

 and the American Ethnological Society since 

 1867, and honorary member of many State his- 

 torical societies. In 1872 he was elected to the 

 National Academy of Sciences. Since 1858 he 

 has devoted special attention to the subject of 

 the Indian languages of North America. He 

 has prepared a dictionary and vocabulary to 

 John Eliot's Indian Bible, and is probably the 

 only American scholar that is now able to read 

 that work. In 1873 he was chosen lecturer on 

 Indian languages of North America at Yale, 

 but loss of health and other labors soon com- 

 pelled his resignation. The degree of LL. D. 

 was conferred on him by Yale in 1871 and by 

 Harvard in 1887, while Columbia gave him an L. 

 H. D. in 1887— Appleton's Cyclop, of Am. Biog.
