Chap, xvill, Of their Language, pp. 91-92, 

 contains a tew general remarks. The speci. 

 mens of language fill the five unnumbered 

 pages at the end, headed as follows : 



"Because many have desired to heare some 

 of the Natives Language, I have here inserted 

 a small Nomenclator, with the Names of their 

 chiefe Kings, Elvers, Moneths, and dayes, 

 w hereby such as have in-sight into the Tongues, 

 may know to what Language it is most in- 

 clining; and such as desire it as an iinknowne 

 Language onely, may reape delight, if they can 

 get no profit." 



The nomenclator is a vocabulary of about 

 265 words, in Massachusetts Indian and En- 

 glish, alphabetically arranged. It is followed 

 by the numerals 1-20, " The Indians count their 

 time by nights, and not by dayes, as followeth," 

 " How they call their Moneths," "The names of 

 the Indians, as they be divided into several 

 Countries," "The Names of Sagamores," 

 "The names of the noted Habitations," and 

 "At what places be Rivers of note." These 

 supplementary names are all in Indian.

""Wood had been living in New England 

 about four years, and in the compilation of his 

 vocabulary he may have been assisted by 

 Roger Williams, who, before he left Salem, had 

 made considerable progress in the Indian lan- 

 guage." — Trumbull.
