Book Description

Excerpt from Zeisberger's Indian Dictionary: English, German, Iroquois-the Onondaga and Algonquin-the Delaware; Printed From the Original Manuscript in Harvard College Library I found the manuscript of the Dictionary among the treasures of the College Library. My interest in it grew, primarily, out of the wish to learn the meanings of the Indian names of localities in New England and the neighboring States. Mr. Winsor, the librarian, kindly gave me permis sion to have the manuscript copied, and every facility for the subsequent study of the original text, side by side with my copy, in the correction of the proof-sheets.
