 sierra y de esta por aca, por Franc. Dominguez, cura de 

 Xalpan. Puebla de los Angeles,, 1752.

My brother, Mr. William de Humboldt, who has pro- 

 foundly studied the American languages, has enriched this 

 collection with the following works. 



C. de Tapia Zenteno, arte novissima de lengua Mexicana. 

 Mexico, 1753. 



Raymond Breton, Diet. Caraibe-Francois. Auxerre> 16G5-. 

 Dictionnaire Galibi, par M. D. L. S. Paris, 1763. 

 Luiz Figueira, Gramatica de la lengua del Bresil. Lis- 

 boa, 1795. 



Lexic. Bras. Lisb. 1795. 



He has also in his possession fourteen manuscripts, copied 

 from those of the Abb6 Hervas, and of the Propaganda at 

 Rome: 1. MSS. on the Azteck or Mexican language. 2. 

 MSS. on the language of the Otomites. 3. MSS. on the 

 Maya or Yucatan language. 4. MSS. on the language of 

 the Oroonoko in general. 5. MSS. on the languages of the 

 Yaruroes. 6. MSS. on the Betoy language. 7. MSS. on 

 the Omagua language. 8. MSS. on the Qquichua language 

 by Father Camano. 9. MSS. on the Guarani tongue. 10. 

 MSS. on the Guaicuru or Mbaya language. 11. MSS. on 

 the Mocobi language. 12. MSS. on the Lule language. 

 13. MSS. on the language of the Abiponians. 14. MSS. 

 on the language of the Araucans of Chili. This list contains 

 more than thirty American languages, that have been reduced 

 into grammars for the use of the missionary monks. It 

 appeared to me so much the more useful to give it here, as 

 the richest libraries of Europe, for instance that of the King 

 at Paris, do not contain three grammars of Spanish Ame- 

 rican languages.
