THE TUPI LANGUAGE. 



The Work will be comprised in One thin Quarto Volume, and contain the Grammar 

 of Anchieta, and the Dictionary of Figueira, with some Terms and Phrases, and Lists 

 of proper Names of Places, Rivers, Plants, Fruits, Animals and Men, collected by 



THE AUTHOR OF NOTES ON RIO DE JANEIRO BRAZIL. 



A Knowledge of the Tupi Tongue seems calculated to throw some light upon the 

 early History and present State of South America, — to facilitate an Intercourse with the 

 Native Tribes, and to promote their Civilization. 



The Loan or Copies of Writings in this Language will be highly acceptable. There 

 is reason to believe that some such exist in the Holy Office, at Lisbon, and the present season 

 appears to be favourable for the recovery of them. 



Intimations of Gentlemen, who are disposed to encourage the Undei-taking, left 

 with Mr. S. Leigh, Bookseller, in the Strand, London ; or with Messrs. M. Robioson and 

 Co. of Leeds ; will be duly attended to.
