Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 1 (of 8) Aboriginal America
xxi. 14); and his recent explorations show that the projections in
the side of the head (shaded dark in the cut) are not a part of the construction. He also finds two distinct periods of occupation in this region, to the oldest of which he attributes this work (_Peab. Mus. Rept._ 1888). W. H. Holmes made a survey in 1886 (_Amer. Antiquarian_, May, 1887, ix. 141; _Science_, viii. 624, Dec. 31, 1886). Cf. J. P. MacLean, in _Amer. Antiquarian_, vii. 44, and his _Moundbuilders_, p. 56; Baldwin’s _Anc. America_, 29. T. H. Lewis describes a snake mound in Minnesota (_Science_, ix. 393). On the serpent symbol see S. D. Peet, in _Amer. Antiquarian_, viii. 197; ix. 13, where he manifests a somewhat omnivorous appetite.]
Of the opposing theory of a disappeared race, Capt. Heart in reply to Barton (_Amer. Philolog. Asso. Proc._ iii.) gave, as Thomas thinks, “the earliest clear and distinct expression,” but Squier and Davis may be considered as first giving it definite meaning; and though Squier does not seem to have actually revoked this judgment as respects the mounds in the Mississippi valley, he finally reached the conclusion that those in New York were really the work of the Iroquois.[1734] This ancient-race theory, sometimes amounting to a belief in their autochthonous origin, has impressed the public through some of the best known summaries of American antiquities, like those of Baldwin, Wilson, and Short,[1735] and has been adopted by men of such reputation as Lyell.[1736] The position taken by Professor F. W. Putnam, the curator of the Peabody Museum of Archæology at Cambridge, is much like that taken earlier by Warden in his _Recherches_, that both views are, within their own limitations, correct, and, as Putnam expresses it, “that many Indian tribes built mounds and earthworks is beyond doubt; but that all the mounds and earthworks of North America are by these same tribes, or their immediate ancestors, is not thereby proved.”[1737] Thomas (_Fifth Report, Bureau Ethnol._) holds this statement to be too vague. It is certainly shown in the whole history of archæological study that uncompromising demarcations have sooner or later to be abandoned.
Morgan finds it difficult to dissociate the mounds with his favorite theory of communal life.[1738] There is no readier way of marking the development of opinion on this question than to follow the series of the _Annual Reports_ of the Smithsonian Institution, as hardly a year has passed since 1861 but these _Reports_ have had in them contributions on the subject.[1739] Among periodicals, the more constant attention to the mounds is conspicuous in the _American Antiquarian_.[1740]
The basis for estimating the age of the mounds is threefold. In the first place, there are very few found on the last of the river terraces to be reclaimed from the stream. In the second place, the decay of the skeletons found in them can be taken as of some indication, if due regard be had to the kind of earth in which they are buried. Third, the age of trees upon them has been accepted as carrying them back a certain period, at least, though this may widely vary, if you assume their growth to be subsequent to the abandonment of the mounds, or if, as Brinton holds,[1741] the trees were planted immediately upon the building. The dependence upon counting the rings is by no means a settled opinion as to all climes; but in the temperate zone the best authorities place dependence upon it. Unfortunately it cannot carry us back much over 600 years.[1742]
* * * * *
The early attempts to disclose the ethnological relations of the moundbuilders on cranial evidence were embarrassed by the fewness of the skulls then known. Morton (_Crania Americana_) called the four examined by him identical with those of the red Indian.[1743] At present, considerable numbers are available; but still Wilson (_Prehistoric Man_, ii. 128) holds that “we lack sufficient data,” and in the consideration of them sufficient care has not always been taken to distinguish intrusive burials of a later date.[1744]
J. W. Foster (_Prehist. Races_, ch. 8; _Amer. Assoc. Adv. Sci. Trans._, 1872; and _Amer. Naturalist_, vi. 738) held to a lower type of skull, on this evidence, than Wilson (_Prehist. Man_, ii. ch. 20) contended for. There are examples of the wide difference of views (MacLean, 142), when some, like Morgan, connect them with the Pueblo skulls (_No. Amer. Rev._, cix., Oct., 1869), and others, like Morton, Winchell, Wilson, Brasseur, and Foster, find their correspondences in those of Mexico and Peru.[1745] Putnam, whose experience with mound skulls is greatest of all, holds to the southern short head and the northern long head (_Rept._ 1888). Probably we have no better enumeration of the variety of objects and relics found in the mounds, though much has since been added to the collection, than in Rau’s _Catalogue of the Archæological Collection of the National Museum_ (Washington, 1876).[1746] Unfortunately he shows little or no discrimination between discoveries in the mounds and those of the surface. The interest in such collections has naturally brought prominently to the attention of every student of such collections the tricks of fraudulent imitators, and there are several well-known instances of protracted controversies on the genuineness of certain relics.[1747]
There remains in this survey of the literature of the mounds in all their varieties, to go over it, finally, in relation to their geographical distribution:[1748]—
New England is almost destitute of these antiquities. The one that has attracted some attention is what is described as a fortification in Sanbornton, in New Hampshire, which when found was faced with stone externally, and the walls were six feet thick and breast-high, when described about one hundred and fifteen years ago. There is a plan of it, with a descriptive account, preserved in the library of the American Antiq. Society,[1749] and another plan and description in M. T. Runnels’s _Hist. of Sanbornton_ (Boston, 1882), i. ch. 4. Squier also figured it.
As we move westward, the mounds begin to be numerous in the State of New York, and particularly in the western part of it. One of the earliest descriptions of them, after that of the missionary Kirkland (about 1788), is in the “Journal of the Rev. John Taylor while on a mission through the Mohawk and Black River Country in 1802,” which was first printed, with plans of the works examined, in the _Documentary Hist. New York_ (vol. iii. quarto ed.). In 1818 DeWitt Clinton published at Albany his _Memoir on the Antiquities of the western part of New York_, in which he attributes their origin to the Scandinavians.[1750] They were again described in David Thomas’s _Travels through the western country in 1816_ (Auburn, 1819). There is not much else to note for twenty-five years. In 1845, Schoolcraft made to the N. Y. Senate his _Report on the Census of the Iroquois Indians_ (Albany and N. Y., 1846, 1847, 1848), which is better known, perhaps, in the trade edition, _Notes on the Iroquois; or Contributions to the Statistics, Aboriginal History, Antiquities and General Ethnology of Western New York_ (N. Y. 1846). In 1850, the _Third Report_ of the Regents of the University of the State of N. Y. contains F. B. Hough’s paper on the earthwork enclosures in the State, with cuts. The same year (1850) came the essential authority on the New York mounds, E. G. Squier’s _Aboriginal Monuments of the State of N. Y., comprising the results of original surveys and explorations, with an illustrative appendix_ (Washington, 1850), which the next year made part of the second volume of the _Smithsonian Contributions_.[1751] He enumerates in New York about 250 defensive structures, beside burial mounds and in his appendix describes those in New Hampshire and some in Pennsylvania.[1752] Some new explorations of the New York mounds were made in 1859 by T. Apoleon Cheney, who describes them, giving plans and cuts, in the _Thirteenth Report_ of the Regents of the University.[1753]
It was, however, in Ohio that the interest in these mounds was first incited, and that the more thorough exploration has been made.[1754] The earliest pioneers reported upon them. Cutler described them in 1789 in a letter to Jeremy Belknap.[1755] Benj. S. Barton described a mound at Cincinnati in 1799.[1756] Dr. Harris in 1805 was seemingly the earliest traveller to note them in _Journal of a Tour_, where he gives one of the earliest engravings. A plan of those at Circleville, with description by J. Kilbourne, is given in the _Ohio Gazetteer_ (Columbus, 1817). Caleb Atwater, in 1820, was more familiar with them than with others of his broader field. Warden in his _Recherches_ noted the early describers. Gen. Harrison discussed the mounds in his _Discourse on the Aborigines of the Valley of the Ohio_ (Cincinnati, 1838). Squier and Davis, of course, brought them within their range,[1757] and Col. Whittlesey supplemented their work in the third volume of the _Smithsonian Contributions_. Whittlesey and Matthew C. Read contributed the Report on the Archæology of Ohio, which forms the second portion of the _Final Report of the Ohio State Board of Centennial Managers_ (Columbus, 1877), and in it is a list of the ancient enclosures, which is not, as Short says (p. 82), as complete as it should be. A survey of the mounds was made by E. B. Andrews, and published in the _Peabody Mus. Repts._ (no. x.), 1877. The Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society started in June, 1887, the _Ohio archæological and historical Quarterly_, which has vigorously entered the field, and in it (March, 1888) G. F. Wright has reported on the present condition of the mounds. M. C. Read’s _Archæology of Ohio_ (Cleveland, 1888) was published by the Western Reserve Historical Society, whose series of Tracts is of importance for the study of the mounds.[1758] Henry A. Shepard’s _Antiquities of the State of Ohio_ (Cincinnati, 1887) summarizes the discoveries to date.[1759] Thomas (_Fifth Rept. Bur. Ethnol._) claims that the Ohio mounds were built by Indians, but not by the Indians, nor by the ancestors of them, who inhabited this region at the coming of the whites; but by an Indian race driven south, of whom he finds the modern representatives in the Cherokees.
The works at Marietta, on the Muskingum River, were the earliest observed. Taking the southern and southeastern counties, there are no very conspicuous examples elsewhere, though the region is well dotted with earthworks.[1760] Those at Cincinnati were, after those at Marietta, the earliest to be noticed.[1761] The adjacent Little Miami Valley is the region which Professor Putnam and Dr. Metz have been of late so successfully working.[1762]
Of all the works in the central portions of Ohio, and indeed of all in any region, those at Newark, in Licking County, are the most extensive, and have been often described.[1763] In the east[1764] and west[1765] there are other of these earthworks; but those in the north have been particularly examined by Col. Whittlesey and others.[1766] The enclosure called Fort Azatlan, at Merom on the Wabash River, is the most noticeable in Indiana.[1767] In Illinois, the great Cahokia truncated pyramid, 700 feet long by 500 wide and 90 high, is the most important.[1768]
Henry Gillman, of Detroit, has been the leading writer on the mounds of Michigan.[1769] The supposed connection of their builders with the ancient copper mines of Lake Superior is considered in another place. Thomas (_Fifth Rept., Bur. Ethnol._) contends that much of the copper found in the mounds was of European make, and had no relation to any aboriginal mining.
Wisconsin is the central region of what are known as the animal, effigy, symbolic, or emblematic mounds. Mention has been made elsewhere of the earliest notices of this kind of earthwork. The most extensive examination of them is the _Antiquities of Wisconsin as surveyed and described by I. A. Lapham_ (Washington, 1855), with a map showing the sites.[1770] The consideration of these effigy mounds has given rise to various theories regarding their significance, whether as symbols or to totems.[1771] It is Thomas’s conclusion that the effigy mounds and the burial mounds of Wisconsin were the work of the same people (_Fifth Rept., Bur. Ethnol._).
The existence of what is called an elephant or mastodon mound in Grant County has been sometimes taken to point to the age of those extinct animals as that of the erection of the mounds.[1772] Putnam, referring to the confined area in which these effigy mounds are found, says that the serpent mound, the alligator mound,[1773] and Whittlesey’s effigy mound in Ohio, and two bird mounds in Georgia,[1774] are the only other works in North America to which they are at all comparable.[1775]
When Lewis and Clark explored the Missouri River in 1804-6, they discovered mounds in different parts of its valley; but their statements were not altogether confirmed till the parties of the United States surveyors traversed the region after the civil war, as is particularly shown in Hayden’s _Geological Survey, 6th Rept._, in 1872. Within the present State of Missouri the mounds which have attracted most notice are those near the modern St. Louis.[1776] In Iowa (Clayton County) there is said to be the largest group of effigy mounds west of the Mississippi.[1777] The mounds of Iowa and the neighboring region are also discussed by Thomas in the _Fifth Rept. Bur. Ethnol._ O. H. Kelley has reported on the remains of an ancient town in Minnesota.[1778] In Kansas there is little noticeable,[1779] and there is not much to record in Dacotah,[1780] Utah,[1781] California,[1782] and Montana.[1783] We find scant accounts of the mounds in Oregon and Washington in the narrative of the Wilkes Exploring Expedition and in the earlier story of Lewis and Clark. Some of the mounds are of doubtful artificiality.[1784]
Along the lower portion of the Mississippi, but not within three hundred miles of its mouth, we find in Louisiana other mound constructions, but not of unusual significance.[1785]
The first effigy mound, a bear, which was observed south of the Ohio, is near an old earthwork in Greenup County, Kentucky.[1786] The mounds of this State early attracted notice.[1787] Bishop Madison[1788] thought them sepulchral rather than military. In the _Western Review_ (Dec., 1819) one was described near Lexington. Rafinesque added a not very sane account of them to Marshall’s _History of Kentucky_, in 1824, which was also published separately, and since then all the general histories of Kentucky have given some attention to these antiquities.[1789]
In Tennessee we find in connection with the earthworks the stone graves, which the explorations of Putnam, about ten years ago, brought into prominence.[1790] The chief student of the aboriginal mounds in Georgia has been Col. C. C. Jones, Jr., who has been writing on the subject for nearly forty years.[1791] The mounds in the State of Mississippi, as including the region of the Natchez Indians, derive some added interest because of the connection sometimes supposed to exist between them and the race of the mounds.[1792] The same characteristics of the mounds extend into Alabama.[1793] The mounds in Florida attracted the early notice of John and William Bartram, and are described by them in their _Travels_, and have been dwelt upon by later writers.[1794] The seaboard above Georgia has not much of interest.[1795] Concerning the mounds along the Canadian belt there is hardly more to be said.[1796]

Lubbock classes the signs of successive periods in North America thus: original barbarism, mounds, garden beds, and then the relapse into barbarism of the red Indian. The agricultural age thus follows that of the mound erection, in his view, though, as Putnam says, there seems enough evidence that the constructors of the old earthworks were an agricultural race.[1797]
* * * * *
There is another class of relics which, outside the hieroglyphics of Central America, has as yet had little comprehensive study, though the general books on American archæology enumerate some of the inscriptions on rocks, which are so widely scattered throughout the continent.[1798]
Out of all this discussion has risen the new science of Anthropology, broad enough in its scope to include not only archæology in its general acceptation, but to sweep into its range of observation various aspects of ethnology and of geology. It is a new science as at present formulated; but under other conditions it is traced from its origin with the ancients in a paper by T. Bendyshe in the _Memoirs of the Anthropological Society of London_ (vol. i. 335). Its progress in America is treated by O. T. Mason in the _American Naturalist_ (xiv. 348; xv. 616). The most approved methods of modern research are explained in Emil Schmidt’s _Anthropologische Methoden; Anleitung zum beobachten und sammeln für Laboratorium und Reise_ (Leipzig, 1888). “The methods of archæological investigation are as trustworthy as those of any natural science,” says Lubbock (_Scientific Lectures_, 139). Beside the publications of the various Archæological, Anthropological, and Ethnological Societies and Congresses[1799] of both hemispheres, we find for Europe a considerable centre of information in the _Materiaux pour l’histoire primitive et naturelle (philosophique) de l’homme_,[1800] and for America in the publications of the Smithsonian Institution,[1801] in the _Comptes rendus_ of the successive Congresses of Américanistes, and in such periodicals as the _American Antiquarian_, the _American Anthropologist_, and the _Folk Lore Journal_.
The broad subject of prehistoric archæology is covered in a paper by Lubbock, which is included in his _Scientific Lectures_ (Lond., 1879);[1802] in H. M. Westropp’s _Prehistoric Phases, or Introductory Essays on Prehistoric Archæology_ (Lond., 1872); in Stevens’s _Flint Chips_ (1870); by Dr. Brinton in the _Iconographic Encyclopædia_, vol. ii.; and more popularly in Charles F. Keary’s _Dawn of History, an introd. to prehistoric study_ (N. Y., 1879), and in Davenport Adams’s _Beneath the Surface, or the Underground World_.
The French have contributed a corresponding literature in Louis Figuier’s _L’Homme Primitif_ (Paris, 1870);[1803] in Zaborowski’s _L’homme préhistorique_ (Paris, 1878); and in the Marquis de Nadaillac’s _Les premiers hommes et les temps préhistoriques_ (Paris, 1881), and his _Mœurs et monuments des peuples préhistoriques_ (Paris, 1888), not to mention others.[1804]
The principal comprehensive works covering the prehistoric period in North America, are J. T. Short’s _North Americans of Antiquity_ (N. Y., 1879, and later); the _L’Amérique préhistorique_ of Nadaillac (Paris, 1883);[1805] Foster’s _Prehistoric Races of the United States_ (Chicago, 1873; 6th ed., 1887); and the compact popular _Ancient America_ (N. Y., 1871) of John D. Baldwin. Beside Bancroft’s _Native Races_, there are various treatises of confined nominal scope, but covering in some degree the whole North American field, which are noted in other pages.[1806]
The purely ethnological aspects of the American side of the subject are summarily surveyed in A. H. Keane’s “Ethnology of America,” appended to Stanford’s _Compendium of Geography, Cent. America_, etc. (London, 2nd ed., 1882), and there are papers on Ethnographical Collections in the _Smithsonian Report_ (1862).[1807] The great repository of material, however, is in the _Contributions to North American Ethnology_, being a section of Major Powell’s _Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region_, and in the _Annual Reports_ of the Bureau of Ethnology since 1879, made under Major Powell’s directions, and in the _Reports of the Peabody Museum_.[1808]
APPENDIX.
I.
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ABORIGINAL AMERICA.
_By the Editor._
THE student will find a general survey of “Les Sources de l’histoire anté-Colombienne du nouveau monde, par Léon de Rosny,” in the _Revue Orientale et Américaine_ (_Mém. de la soc. d’ethnographie_) _session de 1877_ (p. 139). Bancroft in his _Native Races_ (v. 136) makes a similar grouping of the classes of sources relating to the primitive Americans.[1809] These classes are defined in Daniel G. Brinton’s _Review of the data for the study of the prehistoric chronology of America_ (Salem, 1887), from the _Proceedings of the Amer. Asso. for the Advancement of Science_ (vol. xxxvi.), as conveniently divided into groups pertaining to legendary, monumental, industrial, linguistic, physical, and geological phenomena.
There have been given in the Introduction of the present volume the titles of general bibliographies of American histories, most of which include more or less of the titles pertaining to aboriginal times. It is the purpose of the present brief essay to enumerate, in an approximately chronological order, the titles of some of those and of others which are useful to the archæologist. So far as they are of service to the student of the American languages, an extended list will be found prefixed to Pilling’s _Proof-Sheets_ (p. xi).
The earliest American bibliography was that of Antonio de Leon, usually called Pinelo,—_Epitome de la Biblioteca oriental y occidental náutica y Geográfica_ (Madrid, 1629),—but which is usually found in the edition of Gonzales de Barcía, “Añadido y enmendado nuevamente” (Paris, 1737-1738), in which the American titles, including numerous manuscripts, are given in the second volume.[1810]
The _Bibliotheca Hispana Nova_ of Nicolás Antonio was first published at Rome in 1672, but in a second edition at Madrid in 1783-88.[1811]
Passing by the _Bibliotheca Mexicana_ of Eguiara y Eguren,[1812] and the early edition of Beristain, we note the new edition of the latter, prepared not by Juan Evangelista Guadalajara, as Brasseur notes,[1813] but by another, as the title shows,—_Biblioteca Hispano-Americana Septentrional, ó catalogo y noticia de los Literatos que ó nacidos, ó educados, ó florecientes en la America Septentrional Española, han dado á luz algun escrito ó lo han dexado preparado para la prensa por José Mariano Beristain y Martin de Souza. Segunda edicion, por Fortino Hipólito Vera_ (Amecameca, 1883).
Dr. Robertson intimates that the lists of books which writers of the seventeenth century had been in the habit of prefixing to their books as evidence of their industry had come to be regarded as an ostentatious expression of their learning, and with some hesitancy he counted out to the reader his 717 titles; but Clavigero, as elsewhere pointed out,[1814] was richer in such resources. Humboldt, in his _Vues_,[1815] gives a list of the authors which he cites.
The class of dealers’ catalogues—we cite only such as have decided bibliographical value—begins to be conspicuous in Paul Trömel’s _Bibliothèque Américaine_ (Leipzig, 1861), the best of the German ones, and in Charles Leclerc’s _Bibliotheca Americana_ (Paris, 1867), much improved in his _Bibliotheca Americana. Histoire, géographie, voyages, archéologie et linguistique des deux Amériques et des îles Philippines_ (Paris, 1878), with later supplements, constituting the best of the French catalogues, provided with an excellent index and a linguistic table, rendered necessary by the classified plan of the list.
The list formed by students in this field begins with the _Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima_ of Harrisse (New York, 1866; additions, Paris, 1872), and includes the _Bibliothèque Mexico-Guatémalienne, précédée d’un coup d’œil sur les études américaines dans leurs rapports avec les études classiques, et suivie du tableau, par ordre alphabétique, des ouvrages de linguistique Américaine contenus dans le même volume_ (Paris, 1871) of the Abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg, who at that time had been twenty-five years engaged in the studies and travels which led to the gathering of his collection. The library, almost entire, was later joined to that of Alphonse L. Pinart, and was included in the latter’s _Catalogue de livres rares et précieux, manuscrits et imprimés_ (Paris, 1883).
In 1866, Icazbalceta published at Mexico his _Apuntes para un Catálogo de Escritores en lenguas indígenas de América_,[1816] but of his great bibliographical work only one volume has as yet appeared: _Bibliografía Américana del Siglo xvi. Primera parte_. _Catálogo razonado de libros impresos en México de 1539 à 1600, con biografías de autores y otras ilustraciones, precedido de una noticia acerca de la introducción de la imprenta en México_ (México, 1886).
Bandelier has embodied some of the results of his study in his “Notes on the Bibliography of Yucatan and Central America,” in the _Amer. Antiq. Soc. Proc._, n. s., i. pp. 82-118.
The catalogues of collections having special reference to aboriginal America are the following:—
_Catalogue de la Bibliothèque de José Maria Andrade, 7,000 pièces et volumes, ayant rapport au Méxique ou imprimés dans ce pays_ (Leipzig, 1869).[1817]
_Bibliotheca Mejicana_: _Books and manuscripts almost wholly relating to the history and literature of North and South America, particularly Mexico_ (London, 1869). This collection was formed by Augustin Fischer, chaplain to the Emperor Maximilian; but there were added to the catalogue some titles from the collection of Dr. C. H. Berendt.
_Catalogue of the library of E. G. Squier, edited by Joseph Sabin_ (N. Y., 1876).
_Bibliotheca Mexicana, or A Catalogue of the library of the rare books and important MSS. relating to Mexico and other parts of Spanish America, formed by the late Señor Don José Fernando Ramirez_ (London, 1880). This catalogue was edited by the Abbé Fischer.[1818]
The most useful guides to the literature of aboriginal America, however, are some compiled in this country. First, the comprehensive though not yet complete bibliography, Joseph Sabin’s _Dictionary of books relating to America_, now being continued since Sabin’s death, and with much skill, by Wilberforce Eames. Second, the voluminous _Proof-sheets of a Bibliography of the languages of the North American Indians_ (Washington, 1885), prepared by James Constantine Pilling, tentatively, in a large quarto volume, distributed only to collaborators, and out of which, with emendations and additions, he is now publishing special sections of it, of which have already appeared those relating to the Eskimo and Siouan tongues. His enumeration so much exceeds the range of purely linguistic monographs that the treatises become in effect general bibliographies of aboriginal America.
Third, _An Essay towards an Indian bibliography, being a Catalogue of books relating to the history, antiquities, languages, customs, religion, wars, literature and origin of the American Indians, in the library of Thos. W. Field, with bibliographical and historical notes and synopses of the contents of some of the works least known_ (N. Y., 1873). The sale of Mr. Field’s library took place in New York, May, 1875, from a Catalogue not so elaborate, but still of use. These books are not so accurately compiled as to be wholly trustworthy as final resorts.
Finally, the list prefixed to Bancroft’s _Native Races_, vol. i., and the references of his foot-notes, throughout his five volumes (condensed often in Short’s _North Americans of Antiquity_), are on the whole the most serviceable aids to the general student, but unfortunately the index of the set is of no use in searching for bibliographical detail.
The reader will remember that the bibliographies of sectional or partial import in the field of American archæology are referred to elsewhere in the present volume.
II.
THE COMPREHENSIVE TREATISES ON AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES.
_By the Editor._
AT the time when Bancroft published his _Native Races_ (1875), he referred to John D. Baldwin’s _Ancient America_ (N. Y., 1871) as the only preceding, comprehensive book on America before the Spaniards.[1819] It still remains a convenient book of small compass; but its absence of references to sources precludes its usefulness for purposes of study, and it is not altogether abreast of the latest views. To the popular element a moderate share of the indexical character, rendering the book passably serviceable to the average reader, has been added in the somewhat larger _North Americans of Antiquity, their origin, migrations, and type of civilization considered, by John T. Short_ (N. Y., 1880,—somewhat improved in later editions), though it will be observed that the Peruvian and other South American antiquities have not come within his plan. The latest of these comprehensive books is the Marquis de Nadaillac’s (Jean F. A. du Pouget’s) _L’Amérique préhistorique_ (Paris, 1883), which in an English version by N. D’Anvers was published with the author’s sanction in London in 1882. With revision and some modifications by W. H. Dall, which have not met the author’s sanction, it was republished as _Prehistoric America_ (N. Y., 1884). It is a work of more theoretical tendency than the student wishes to find at the opening stage of his inquiry.
But as a compend of every department of archæological knowledge up to about fifteen years ago no advance has yet been made upon Bancroft’s _Native Races_ as indicative of every channel of investigation which the student can pursue. Upon the monuments of the moundbuilders (iv. ch. 13) and the antiquities of Peru (iv. ch. 14) the treatment is condensed and without references, as occupying a field beyond his primary purpose of covering the Pacific slope of North America and the immediately adjacent regions. Mention is made elsewhere of Bancroft’s methods of compilation, and it may suffice to say that in the five volumes of his _Native Races_ he has drawn and condensed his matter from the writings of about 1200 writers, whose titles he gives in a preliminary list.[1820] The method of arranging the departments of the work is perhaps too far geographical to be always satisfactory to the special student,[1821] and he seems to be aware of it (for instance, i. ch. 2); but it may be questioned if, while writing with, or engrafting upon, an encyclopædic system, what might pass for a continuous narrative, any more scientific plan would have been more successful. Bancroft’s opinions are not always as satisfactory as his material. The student who uses the _Native Races_ for its groups and references will accordingly find a complemental service in Sir Daniel Wilson’s _Prehistoric Man_ (London, 1876), in which the Toronto professor conducts his “researches into the origin of civilization in the old and the new world,” by primarily treating of the early American man, as the readiest way of understanding early man in Europe. His system is to connect man’s development topically in the directions induced by his habits, industries, dwellings, art, records, migrations, and physical characterizations.
Another and older book, in some respects embodying like purposes, and though produced at a time when archæological studies were much less advanced than at present, is Alexander W. Bradford’s _American Antiquities and researches into the origin and history of the red race_ (N. Y., 1841).[1822] The first section of the book is strictly a record of results; but in the final portion the author indulges more in speculative inquiry. Even in this he has not transcended the bounds of legitimate hypothesis, though some of his postulates will hardly be accepted nowadays, as when he contends that the red Indians are the degraded descendants of the people who were connected with the so-called civilization of Central America.[1823]
The periodical literature of a comprehensive sort is not so extensive as treatments of special aspects; but the student will find Poole’s _Index_ and Rhee’s _Catalogue and Index of the Smithsonian publications_ serviceable.
III.
BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES ON THE INDUSTRIES AND TRADE OF THE AMERICAN ABORIGINES.
_By the Editor._
WHILE we have a moderate list of works on the general subject of prehistoric art and industries,[1824] we lack any comprehensive survey of the subject as respects the American continent, and must depend on sectional and local treatment. Humboldt in the introduction to his _Atlas_ of his _Essai politique_ (Paris, 1813) was among the earliest to grasp the material which illustrates the origin and first progress of the arts in America. The arts of the southern regions and western coasts of North America are best followed in those portions of the chapters on the Wild Tribes, devoted to the subject, which make up the first volume of Bancroft’s _Native Races_,[1825] and for Mexican and Maya productions some chapters (ch. 15, 24) in the second volume. Prescott’s treatment of the more advanced peoples of this region is scant (_Mexico_, i., introd., ch. 5). The art in stone of the Pueblo Indians is beautifully illustrated in Putnam’s portion of Wheeler’s _Report_ of his survey, and comparison may be made with Hayden’s _Annual Rept._ (1876) of the U. S. Geol. and Geographical Survey. The work of Putnam and his collaborators in the archæological volume (vii.) of Wheeler’s _Survey_ is probably the most complete account of the implements, ornaments and utensils of any one people (those of Southern California) yet produced; and its illustrations have not been surpassed. Passing north, we shall get some help from E. L. Berthoud’s paper on the “Prehistoric human art from Wyoming and Colorado,” in his “Journal of a reconnaissance in Creek Valley, Col.,” published by the Colorado Acad. of Nat. Sciences (_Proceedings_, 1872, p. 46). In the _Pacific Rail Road Reports_ (vol. iii. in 1856) there is a paper by Thomas Ewbank in “Illustrations of Indian antiquities and arts.” S. S. Haldeman has described the relics of human industry found in a rock shelter in southeastern Pennsylvania (_Compte Rendu, Cong. des Amér._, Luxembourg, ii. 319; and _Transactions Amer. Philos. Soc._, 1878). The best of all the more comprehensive monographs is Charles C. Abbott’s _Primitive industry: or illustrations of the handiwork, in stone, bone and clay, of the native races of the Northern Atlantic seaboard of America_ (Salem, 1881). Morgan’s _League of the Iroquois_ touches in some measure of the arts of that confederacy, his earliest study being in the _Fifth Report of the Regents of the State of New York_ (1852).
For the Canada regions, the _Annual Reports of the Canadian Institute_, appended to the _Reports_ of the Minister of Education, Ontario, contain accounts of the discovery of objects of stone, horn, and shell. (See particularly the sessions of 1886-87.) Dawson in his _Fossil men_ (ch. 6) considers what he accounts the lost arts of the primitive races of North America. On the other hand, Professor Leidy found still in use among the present Shoshones split pebbles resembling the rudest stone implements of the palæolithic period (_U. S. Geological Survey_, 1872, p. 652).
Many archæologists have remarked on the uniform character of many prehistoric implements, wherever found, as precluding their being held as ethnical evidences. The system of quarrying[1826] for flint best fitted for the tool-maker’s art has been observed by Wilson (_Prehistoric man_, i. 68) both in the old and new world, and in his third chapter (vol. i.) we have a treatise on the ancient stone-worker’s art.[1827]
Treating the subject topically, we find the late Charles Rau making some special studies of the implements used in native agriculture[1828] in the _Smithsonian Reports_ for 1863, 1868, and 1869.[1829] The agriculture of the Aztecs and Mayas is treated in Max Steffen’s _Die Landwirtschaft bei den altamerikanischen Kulturvölkern_ (Leipzig, 1883).[1830]
The working of flint or obsidian into arrowpoints or cutting implements is a process by pressure that has not been wholly lost. Old workshops, or the chips of them, have been discovered, and they are found in numerous localities (Wilson’s _Prehistoric Man_, i. 75, 79; Abbott’s _Primitive Industry_, and Putnam in the _Bull. Essex Institute_), but Powell in his _Report of Explorations of the Colorado of the West_ (1873) does not, as Wilson says he does, describe the present ways.[1831]
Wilson (_Prehistoric Man_, i. ch. 4 and 7) in an essay on the bone and ivory workers substitutes for the corresponding words usually employed in classifying stone implements the terms palæotechnic and neotechnic, as indicating periods of progress, in order that the art of making tools in horn, bone, shell, and ivory might have a better recognition, as of equal importance with that of making such in stone. Separate treatises are few. Morgan has a paper on the bone implements of the Arickarees in the _21st Rept. of the Regents of the University of the State of N. Y._ (1871), and Rau’s monograph on _Prehistoric fishing in Europe and North America, one of the Smithsonian Contributions_ (1884), involves the making of fish-hooks of bone. See also Putnam in the _Peabody Museum Reports_, and in _Wheeler’s Survey_, vol. vii.; Wyman’s contributions on the shell heaps, and the _Journal of the Cincinnati Soc. of Nat. Hist_. for such as have been found in the ash-pits of Madisonville. On shell-work there is a section in Foster’s _Prehistoric Races_ (p. 234); a paper by W. H. Holmes in the _Second Rept. of the Bureau of Ethnology_ (p. 179); and one on American shell-work and its affinities by Miss Buckland in the _Journal Anthropol. Inst._, xvi. 155.
From the primitive materials of stone, bone, horn, or shell, we pass to metals; but as Wilson (i. p. 174) says, “if metal could be found capable of being wrought and fashioned without smelting or moulding, its use was perfectly compatible with the simple arts of the stone period, as a mere malleable stone;” and to the present day, he adds, the rude American race has no knowledge of working metal, except by pounding or grinding it cold.[1832] The story which Brereton tells in his account of Gosnold’s visit (1602) to New England, about the finding of abundant metal implements in use among the natives, is questioned (Baldwin’s _Ancient America_, p. 62). We have the evidences of the early mining[1833] of copper extending for over a hundred miles along the southern shores of Lake Superior and on Isle Royale, in the abandoned trenches and tools first discovered in 1847; and in one case there was found a mass of native copper (ten feet by three and two, and weighing over six tons) which had been elevated on a wooden frame prior to removal, and was discovered in this condition.[1834] There are also indications that the manufacture of copper tools was carried on in the neighborhood of the mines (Wilson, i. 213); and chemical tests have shown that a popular belief in the tempering of metal by these early peoples is without foundation.[1835]
It seems to be a fact that while in the use of metals an intermediate stage of pure copper, as coming between the use of bone and stone and the use of alloyed metals, was not until comparatively recently suspected in Great Britain, the “peculiar interest attaches to the metallurgy of the new world that there all the earlier stages are clearly defined: the pure native metal wrought by the hammer without the aid of fire; the melted and moulded copper; the alloyed bronze; and the smelting, soldering, graving, and other processes resulting from accumulating experience and matured skill” (Wilson, i. 230). It is in the regions extending from Mexico to Peru that the art of alloying introduces us to the American bronze age. Columbus in his fourth voyage found in a vessel which had come alongside from Yucatan crucibles to melt copper, as Herrera tells us; and Humboldt was among the earliest to discover tools alloyed of copper and tin, and many such alloys have since been recognized among Peruvian bronzes (Wilson, i. 239). In Mexico, metallurgic arts were carried perhaps even farther in casting and engraving, and not only the results but the evidences of their mining places have remained to our day (_Ibid._ i. 248). It seems evident, however, that experimenting with them had not carried them so near the perfect combination for tool-making (one part tin to nine parts copper) as the bronze people of Europe had reached, though they fell considerably short of the exact standard (_Ibid._ i. 234). Doubt has sometimes been expressed of Mexican mining for copper, as by Frederick von Hellwald (_Compte Rendu, Cong. des Américanistes_, 1877, i. 51); but Rau indicated the references[1836] to Short (p. 94), which forcibly led him to the conclusion that the Mexicans mined copper to turn into tools.[1837] Among the Mayas, Nadaillac (p. 269) contends that only copper and gold were in use. Bancroft (ii. 749) thinks the use of copper doubtful, and if used, that it must have been got from the north. He cites the evidences of the use of gold. William H. Holmes discusses _The use of gold and other metals among the ancient inhabitants of Chiriqui, Isthmus of Darien_ (Washington, 1887). As to iron, that found in the Ohio mounds, only of late years, has been proved to be meteoric iron by Professor Putnam (_Amer. Antiq. Soc. Proc._, Apr., 1883). Bancroft (i. 164) says iron was in use among the British Columbian tribes before contact with the whites, but it was probably derived through some indirect means from the whites. Though iron ore abounds in Peru, and the character of the Peruvian stone-cutting would seem to indicate its use, and though there is a native word for it, no iron implements have been found.[1838] There is not much recorded of the use of silver. It has been found by Putnam in the mounds in thin sheets, used as plating for other metals.[1839] He has also found native silver in masses, and in one case a small bit of hammered gold.

Wilson, in 1876, while regretting the dispersion of the William Bullock collection of pottery, the destruction of that formed by Stephens and Catherwood, and the transference to an English museum of most of the specimens gathered by Squier and Davis, lamented that no American collection[1840] had been yet formed adequate to the requirements of the students of American archæology and ethnology. Since that date, however, the collections in the National Museum (Smithsonian Institution) at Washington and in the Peabody Museum at Cambridge have largely grown; and especially for the fictile art and work in stone of Spanish North America the Museo Nacional in Mexico has assumed importance. The collection in the possession of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia,[1841] since transferred to the Philadelphia Academy, is also of value for the study of the pottery of middle America.
Rau has supplied a leading paper on American pottery in the _Smithsonian Report_, 1866; and E. A. Barber has touched the subject in papers at the Copenhagen, Luxembourg, and Madrid meetings of the Congrès des Américanistes, and in the _American Antiquarian_ (viii. 76).[1842] W. H. Holmes has a paper on the origin and development of form and of ornament in ceramic art in the _Fourth Report, Bureau of Ethnology_, p. 437.
For local characters there are various monographs.[1843]
There is no satisfactory evidence that the potter’s wheel was known to any American tribe; but Wilson, in his chapter on ceramic art (_Prehistoric Man_, ii. ch. 16), feels convinced that the early potter employed some sort of mechanical process, giving a revolving motion to his clay.
Modelling in clay for other purposes than the making of vessels is also considered in this same seventeenth chapter of Wilson, and the subject runs, as respects masks, figurines, and general ornamentation, into the wide range of aboriginal art, which necessarily makes part of all comprehensive histories of art. W. H. Dall has a paper on Indian masks in the _Third Report, Bureau of Ethnology_, p. 73. The subject is further treated by Wilson in a paper on “The artistic faculty in the aboriginal races,” in the _Proceedings_ (iii., 2d part, 67, 119) of the Royal Society of Canada, and again in a general way by Nadaillac on _L’art préhistorique en Amérique_ (Paris, 1883), taken from the _Revue des deux Mondes_, Nov. 1, 1883.[1844]

As regards the textile art in prehistoric times, see for a general view W. H. Holmes in the _American Antiquarian_, viii. 261; and the same archæologist has treated the subject on the evidences of the impression of textures as preserved in pottery, in the _Third Rept. Bur. of Ethnology_, p. 393. Cf. Sellers in _Popular Science Journal_, and Wyman in _Peabody Museum Reports_.
J. W. Foster first made (1838) the discovery of relics of textile fabrics of the moundbuilders; but he did not announce his discovery till at the Albany meeting (1851) of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (_Transactions_, 1852, vol. vi. p. 375). He tells the story in his _Prehistoric Races_, p. 222, and figures the implements, found in the mounds, supposed to be employed in the making their cloth with warp and woof. Putnam has since made similar discoveries (_Peabody Museum Reports_). The subject is also treated in the _Proceedings_ of the Davenport Academy and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The fabrics were preserved by being placed in contact with copper implements.
The Indians of New Mexico were found by the Spaniards in possession of the art of weaving. Cf. Washington Matthews on the Navajo weavers, in the _Third Rept. Bur. of Ethnology_, p. 371, and Bancroft (i. 582), who also records the making of fabrics by the wild tribes of Central America (_Ibid._ i. 766-67). He also notes the references to the textile manufactures of the Nahuas and Mayas (ii. 484, 752). The richest accumulation of graphic data relative to the fabrics of Peru is contained in the great work on the _Necropolis of Ancon_.
Feather-work was an important industry in some parts of the continent. The subject is studied in Ferdinand Denis’ _Arte plumaria: Les plumes, leur valeur et leur emploi dans les arts au Méxique, au Pérou, au Brésil et dans les Indes et dans l’Océanie_ (Paris, 1875).[1845]
Lewis H. Morgan’s _Houses and House-life of the American Aborigines_ (Washington, 1881) is the completest study of the habitations of the early peoples; but it is written too exclusively in the light of universal communal custom, and this must be borne in mind in using it. The edifices of middle America and Peru have been given a bibliographical apparatus in another part of the present volume; but references may be made to Wilson’s _Prehistoric Man_ (ii. ch. 16), Viollet le Duc’s _Habitations of Man_, translated by R. Bucknall (Boston, 1876), and to Bandelier’s _Archæological Tour_, 226, where he quotes as typical the description of a native house in 1583, drawn by Juan Bautista Pomar.
There is no good comprehensive account of American prehistoric trade. The T-shaped pieces of copper in use by the Mexicans came nearest to currency as we understand it, unless it be the wampum of the North American Indians, and the shell money in use on the Pacific coast; but it should be remembered that copper axes and copper plates served such a purpose with some tribes.[1846] The Peruvians used weights, but the Mexicans did not. The latter had, however, a system of measures of length.[1847] The canoe was a great intermediary in the practice of barter.[1848] The Peruvians alone understood the use of sails, and the earliest Spanish navigators on the Pacific were surprised at what they thought were civilized predecessors in those seas when they espied in the distance the large white sails of the Peruvian rafts of burden.[1849] The chief source of trade in such conditions was barter, and we know how the Mexican travelling merchants got information that was availed of by the Mexican marauders in their invasions. Bandelier[1850] gives us the references on the barter system, the traders, and the currency in that country, and we need to consult Dr. W. Behrnauer’s _Essai sur le Commerce dans l’ancien Méxique et en Pérou_, in the _Archives de la Soc. Amér. de France_ (n. s., vol. i.).
All the treatises on the mounds of the Ohio Valley derive illustrations of intertribal traffic from the shells of the coast, the copper of Lake Superior, the mica of the Alleghanies, the obsidian of the Rocky Mountains or of Mexico, and the unique figurines which the explorations of the mounds have disclosed. Charles Rau has a paper on this aboriginal trade in North America, published in the _Archiv für Anthroplogie_ (Braunschweig, 1872, vol. iv.), which was republished in English in the _Smithsonian Report_, 1872, p. 249. Bancroft’s references under “Commerce” (v. p. 668) will help the student out in various particulars.
IV.
BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES ON AMERICAN LINGUISTICS.
_By the Editor._
IT cannot be said that the study of American linguistics has advanced to a position wholly satisfactory. It is beset with all the difficulties belonging to a subject that has not been embraced in written records for long periods, and it is open to the hazards of articulation and hearing, acting without entire mutual confidence. And yet we may not dispute Max Müller’s belief,[1851] that it is the science of language which has given the first comprehensive impulse to the study of mankind.
Out of the twenty distinct sounds which it is said the voice of man can produce,[1852] there have been built up from roots and combinations a great diversity of vocabularies. Comparisons of these, as well as of the methods of forming sentences, have been much used in investigations of ethnical relations. Of these opposing methods, neither is sufficiently strong, it is probable, to be pressed without the aid of the other, though the belief of the Bureau of Ethnology at Washington, under the influence of Major Powell, practically discards all tests but the vocabulary, in tracing ethnological relations. It is held that this one test of words satisfies, as to customs, myths, and other ethnological traits, more demands of classifications than any other. Granted that it does, there are questions yet unsolvable by it; and many ethnologists hold that there are still other tests, physiological, for instance,[1853] which cannot safely be neglected in settling such complex questions. The favorite claim of the Bureau is that its officers are studying man as a human being, and not as an animal; but it is by no means sure that the physical qualities of man are so disconnected with his mind and soul as to be unnecessary to his interpretation. Even if language be given the chief place in such studies, there is still the doubt if the vocabulary can in all ways be safely followed to the exclusion of the structure of the language; and it is not to be forgotten, as Haven recognized thirty years ago, that “one of the greatest obstacles to a successful and satisfactory comparison of Indian vocabularies is caused by the capricious and ever-varying orthography applied by writers of different nations.” This is a chance of error that cannot be eliminated when we have to deal with lists of words made in the past, by persons not to be communicated with, in whom both national and personal peculiarities of ear and vocal organs may exist to perplex. A part of the difficulty is of course removed by trained assistants acting in concert, though in different fields; but the individual sharpness or dulness of ear and purity and obscurity of articulation will still cause diversity of results,—to say nothing of corresponding differences in the persons questioned. There is still the problem, broader than all these divisionary tests, whether language is at all a safe test of race, and on this point there is room for different opinions, as is shown in the discussions of Sayce, Whitney, and others.[1854] “Any attempt,” says Max Müller, “at squaring the classification of races and tongues must necessarily fail.”[1855] On the other hand, George Bancroft (Final revision, ii. 90) says that “the aspect of the red men was so uniform that there is no method of grouping them into families but by their languages.”
It is the wide margin for error, already indicated, that vitiates much that has already been done in philological comparisons, and the over-eager recognition at all times of what is thought to be the word-shunting of “Grimm’s Law” has doubtless been responsible for other confusions.[1856]
Most of the general philological treatises touch more or less intimately the question of language as a test of race,[1857] and all of them engage in tracing affinities, each with confidence in a method that others with equal assurance may belittle.[1858] Thus Bancroft,[1859] reflecting an opinion long prevalent, says that “positive grammatical rules carry with them much more weight than mere word likenesses,”[1860] while, on the contrary, Dawson[1861] says that “grammar is, after all, only the clothing of language. The science consists in its root-words; and multitudes of root-words are identical in the American languages over vast areas.” This last proposition is, as we have seen, the principle on which this inquiry is now conducted with governmental patronage. “Each American language,” says George Bancroft, in his chapter on the dialects of North America, “was competent of itself, without improvement of scholars, to exemplify every rule of the logician and give utterance to every passion.” In accordance with such perhaps extreme views, it has been usually said that the American languages are in development in advance of aboriginal progress in other respects. It is another common observation that while a certain resemblance runs through all the native tongues,[1862] there is no such general resemblance to the old-world languages;[1863] but at the same time the linguistic proof of the unity of the American race is not irrefragable,[1864] and it would take tens of thousands of years, as Brinton holds, if there had been a single source, for the eighty stocks of the North American and for the hundred South American speeches to have developed themselves in all their varieties.[1865] Proceeding beyond stocks to dialects, and counting varieties, Ludewig, in his _Literature of the American Languages_, gave 1,100 different American languages; but an alphabetical list given by H. W. Bates in his _Central America, West Indies and South America_ (London, 1882, 2d ed.)[1866] affords 1,700 names of such. The number, of course, depends on how exclusive we are in grouping dialects. Squier, for instance, gives only 400 tongues for both North and South America; for, as Nadaillac says, “philology has no precise definition of what constitutes a language.”[1867]
The most comprehensive survey of the bibliography of American linguistics, excluding South America, is in Pilling’s _Proof-sheets of a bibliography of the languages of the North American Indians_ (Washington, 1885), a tentative issue of the Bureau of Ethnology, already mentioned. Pilling also earlier catalogued the linguistic MSS. in the library of the Bureau of Ethnology, in Powell’s _First Report_ of that Bureau (p. 553), in which that bibliographer also gave a sketch of the history of gathering such collections. A section of the _Bibliotheca Americana_ of Charles Leclerc (Paris, 1878) is given to linguistics, and it affords by groups one of the best keys to the literature of the aboriginal languages which we yet have, and it has been supplemented by additional lists issued since by Maisonneuve of Paris. Ludewig’s _Literature of American Aboriginal Languages, with additions by W. Turner_ (London, 1858), was up to date, thirty years ago, a good list of grammars and dictionaries, but the increase has been considerable in this field since then (Pilling’s _Eskimo Languages_, p. 62). The libraries of collectors of Spanish-American history, as enumerated elsewhere,[1868] have usually included much on the linguistic history, and the most important of the printed lists for Mexico and Central America is that of Brasseur de Bourbourg’s _Bibliothèque Mexico-Guatémalienne, précédée d’un coup d’œil sur les études américaines dans leurs rapports avec les études classiques, et suivi du tableau, par ordre alphabétique, des ouvrages de linguistique américaine contenus dans le même volume_ (Paris, 1871). This list is repeated with additions in the _Catalogue de Alphonse L. Pinart et ... de Brasseur de Bourbourg_ (Paris, 1883). Field’s _Indian Bibliography_ characterizes some of the leading books up to 1873; but the best source up to about the same date for a large part of North America is found in the notes in that section of Bancroft’s _Native Races_, vol. iii., given to linguistics.[1869] The several _Comptes Rendus_ of the Congrès des Américanistes have sections on the same subject, and the second volume of the _Contributions to North American Ethnology_, published by the U. S. Geological Survey (Powell’s), has been kept back for the completion of the linguistic studies of the government officials, which will ultimately, under the care of A. S. Gatschet, compose that belated volume. Major Powell, in his conduct of ethnological investigations for the United States government, has found efficient helpers in James C. Pilling, J. Owen Dorsey, S. R. Riggs, A. S. Gatschet, not to name others. Powell outlined some of his own views in an address on the evolution of language before the Anthropological Society of Washington, of which there is an abstract in their _Transactions_ (1881), while the paper can be found in perfected shape as “The evolution of language from a study of the Indian languages,” in the _First Report of the Bureau of Ethnology_.
Among the earliest of the students of the native languages in the north were the Catholic missionaries in Canada and in the northwest, and there is much of interest in their observations as recorded in the _Jesuit Relations_. We find a _Dictionnaire de la langue huronne_ in the _Grand Voyage du Pays des Hurons_ (Paris, 1632, etc.).
The most conspicuous of the English publications of the seventeenth century was the Natick rendering of the _Bible_ for the Massachusetts Indians, undertaken by the Apostle John Eliot, as he was called, at the expense of the London Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. Eliot also published a _Grammar of the Massachusetts Indian Language_ (Cambridge, 1666), which, with notes by Peter S. Duponceau and an introduction by John Pickering, was printed for the Mass. Hist. Society in 1822, as was John Cotton’s _Vocabulary of the Massachusetts Indian Language_ (Cambridge, 1830). Roger Williams’ _Key into the language of America_ has been elsewhere referred to.[1870] The Rev. Jonathan Edwards wrote a paper on the language of the Mohegan Indians, which, with annotations by Pickering, was printed in the _Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll._ in 1823, and is called by Haven (_Archæol. U. S._, 29) the earliest exposition of the radical connection of the American languages. Dr. James Hammond Trumbull, the most learned of the students of these eastern languages, has furnished various papers on them in the publications of the American Philological Association and of the American Antiquarian Society,[1871] and has summarized the literature of the subject, with references, in the _Memorial Hist. of Boston_ (vol. i.).
In the eighteenth century there were several philological recorders among the missionaries. Sebastian Rasle made a _Dictionary of the Abnake Language_, now preserved in MS. in Harvard College library, which, edited by John Pickering, was published as a volume of the _Memoirs_ of the Amer. Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1833. A grammatical sketch of the Abnake as outlined in Rasle’s _Dictionary_ is given by M. C. O’Brien in the _Maine Hist. Soc. Coll._, vol. ix. The publications of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia have preserved for us the vocabularies and grammars of the Delaware language, collected and arranged by John Heckewelder[1872] and David Zeisberger, while the latter Moravian missionary collected a considerable MS. store of linguistic traces of the Indian tongues, a part of which is now preserved in Harvard College library.[1873] One of this last collection, an _Indian Dictionary; English, German, Iroquois_ (_the Onondaga_), _and Algonquin_ (_the Delaware_) (Cambridge, 1887,) has been carefully edited for the press by Eben Norton Horsford. Dr. John G. Shea published a _Dictionnaire Français-Onontagué, édité d’après un manuscrit du 17^e siècle_ (N. Y., 1859), which is preserved in the Mazarin library in Paris.
There was no attempt made to treat the study of the American languages in what would now be termed a scientific spirit by any English scholar till towards the end of the eighteenth century. The whole question of the origin of the Indians had for a long time been the subject of discussion, and it had of necessity taken more or less of a philological turn from the beginning; but the inquiry had been simply a theoretical one, with efforts to substantiate preconceived beliefs rather than to formulate inductive ones, as in such works as—not to name others—Adair’s _American Indians_ (London, 1775), where every trace was referable to the Jews, and Count de Gebelin’s _Monde Primitif_ (Paris, 1781), where a comparison of American and European vocabularies is given.[1874]
A much closer student appeared in Benjamin Smith Barton, of Philadelphia, though he was not wholly emancipated from these same prevalent notions of connecting the Indian tongues with the old-world speeches. He says that he was instigated to the study by Pallas’ _Linguarum totius orbis Vocabularia comparativa_ (Petropolis, 1786, 1789), and the result was his _New View of the Origin of the tribes and nations of America_ (Philad., 1797; again, 1798). He sets forth in his introduction his methods of study. Charlevoix had suggested that the linguistic test was the only one in studying the ethnological connections of these peoples; but Barton asserted that there were other manifestations, equally important, like the physical aspects, the modes of worship, and the myths. He examined forty different Indian languages, and thinks they show a common origin, and that remotely a connection existed between the old and new continents.
The most eminent American student[1875] of this field in the early half of this century was Albert Gallatin. He began his observations in 1823, at the instance of Humboldt, and two years later he took advantage of a representative convocation of Indian tribes, then held in Washington, to continue his studies of their speech. In 81 tribes brought under his notice he found what he thought to be 27 or 28 linguistic families. This was a wider survey than had before been made, and he regretted that he was not privileged to profit by the vocabularies collected by Lewis and Clark, which had unfortunately been lost. At the request of the Amer. Antiquarian Society, he wrote out and enlarged this study in the second volume of their _Collections_ in 1836, and advanced views that he never materially changed, believing in a very remote Asiatic origin of the tongues, and without excepting the Eskimos from his conclusions. In 1845, in his _Notes on the semi-civilized nations of Mexico_, his conclusions were much the same, but he made an exception in favor of the Otomis. At this time he counted more than a hundred languages, similar in structure but different in vocabularies, and he argued that a very long period was necessary thus to differentiate the tongues. At the age of eighty-seven Gallatin gave his final results in vol. ii. of the _Transactions of the American Ethnological Society_ (1848). Gallatin published a review[1876] of the volume on Ethnography and Philology, which had been prepared by Horatio Hale as the seventh volume of the _Publications of the Wilkes United States Exploring Expedition_ (1838-42), and Hale himself, then in the beginning of his reputation as a linguistic scholar,[1877] published some papers of his own in the same volume of the _Transactions_.[1878]
The two Americans who have done more than others, without the aid of the government, to organize aboriginal linguistic studies are Dr. John Gilmary Shea of Elizabeth, New Jersey, and Dr. Daniel Garrison Brinton of Philadelphia. Of _Shea’s Library of American Linguistics_ he has given an account in the _Smithsonian Rept._, 1861.[1879]
Dr. Brinton has set forth the purposes of his linguistic studies in an address before the Pennsylvania Historical Society, _American Aboriginal Languages and why we should study them_ (Philad., 1885,—from the _Pennsylvania Magazine of History_, 1885, p. 15). In starting his _Library of Aboriginal American Literature_, he announced his purpose to put within the reach of scholars authentic materials for the study of the languages and culture of the native races, each work to be the production of the native mind, and to be printed in the original tongue, with a translation and notes, and to have some intrinsic historical or ethnological importance.[1880]
The other considerable collections are both French. Alphonse L. Pinart published a _Bibliothèque de linguistique et d’ethnographie Américaines_ (Paris and San Francisco, 1875-82).[1881]
The publishing house of Maisonneuve et Compagnie of Paris, which has done more than any other business firm to advance these studies, has conducted a _Collection linguistique Américaine_, of much value to American philologists.[1882]
Other French studies have attracted attention. Pierre Etienne Duponceau published a _Mémoire sur le système grammatical des langues de quelques nations indiennes de l’Amérique du Nord_ (Paris, 1838).[1883] He conducted a correspondence with the Rev. John Heckewelder respecting the American tongues, which is published in the _Transactions of the Amer. Philosophical Society_ (Phil., 1819), and he translated Zeisberger’s _Delaware Grammar_.
The studies of the Abbé Jean André Cuoq have been upon the Algonquin dialects,[1884] and published mainly in the _Actes de la Société philologique_ (Paris, 1869 and later). His monographic _Etudes philologiques sur quelques langues sauvages de l’Amérique_ was printed at Montreal, 1866. It was the result of twenty years’ missionary work among the Iroquois and Algonquins, and besides a grammar contains a critical examination of the works of Duponceau and Schoolcraft. Lucien Adam has been very comprehensive in his researches, his studies being collected under the titles of _Etudes sur six langues Américaines_ (Paris, 1878) and _Examen grammatical comparé de seize langues Américaines_ (Paris, 1878).[1885]
The papers of the Count Hyacinthe de Charencey have been in the first instance for the most part printed in the _Revue de Linguistique_, the _Annales de Philosophie Chrétienne_, and the _Mémoires de l’Académie de Caen_, and have wholly pertained to the tongues south of New Mexico; but his principal studies are collected in his _Mélanges de philologie et de paléographie Américaines_ (Paris, 1883).[1886]
The most distinguished German worker in this field, if we except the incidental labors of Alexander and William von Humboldt,[1887] is J. C. E. Buschmann, whose various linguistic labors cover the wide field of the west coast of North America from Alaska to the Isthmus, with some of the regions adjacent on the east. He published his papers in Berlin between 1853 and 1864, and many of them in the _Mémoires de l’Académie de Berlin_.[1888]
Dr. Carl Hermann Berendt has published his papers in Spanish, English, and German, and some of them will be found in the _Smithsonian Reports_, in the Berlin _Zeitschrift für Ethnologie_, and in the _Revista de Mérida_. Under the auspices of the American Ethnological Society, a fac-simile reproduction of his graphic _Analytical Alphabet for the Mexican and Central American languages_ was published in 1869, the result of twelve years’ study in those countries.[1889]

The languages of what are called the civilized nations of the central regions of America deserve more particular attention.
In the Mexican empire the Aztec was largely predominant, but not exclusively spoken, for about twenty other tongues were more or less in vogue in different parts. Humboldt and others have found occasional traces in words of an earlier language than the Aztec or Nahua, but different from the Maya, which in Brasseur’s opinion was the language of the country in those pre-Nahua days. Bancroft, contrary to some recent philologists, holds the speech of the Toltec, Chichimec, and Aztec times to be one and the same.[1890] It was perhaps the most copious and most perfected of all the aboriginal tongues; and in proof of this are cited the opinions of the early Spanish scholars, the successes of the missionaries in the use of it in imparting the subtleties of their faith, and the literary use which was made of it by the native scholars, as soon as they had adapted the Roman alphabet to its vocabulary and forms.[1891]
The Maya has much the same prominence farther south that the Nahua has in the northerly parts of the territory of the Spanish conquest, and a dialect of it, the Tzendal, still spoken near Palenqué, is considered to be the oldest form of it, though probably this dialect was a departure from the original stock. It is one of the evidences that the early Mayas may have come by way of the West India islands that modern philologists say the native tongues of those islands were allied to the Maya. Bancroft (iii. 759, with other references, 760) refers to the list of spoken tongues given in Palacio’s _Carta al Rey de España_ (1576) as the best enumeration of the early Spanish writers.[1892] For its literary value we must consult some of the authorities like Orozco y Berra, mentioned in connection with the Aztec. Squier published a _Monograph of authors who have written on the languages of Central America, and collected vocabularies and composed works in the native dialects of that country_ (Albany, 1861,—100 copies), in which he mentions 110 such authors, and gives a list of their printed and MS. works. Those who have used these native tongues for written productions are named in Ludewig’s _Literature of the Amer. Aborig. Languages_ (London, 1858) and in Brinton’s _Aboriginal American Authors_ (Phila., 1883).[1893]
The philology of the South American peoples has not been so well compassed as that of the northern continent. The classified bibliographies show the range of it under such heads as Ande (or Campa), Araucanians (Chilena), Arrawak, Aymara, Brazil (the principal work being F. P. von Martius’s _Beiträge zur Ethnographie und Sprachenkunde Amerika’s, zumal Brasiliens_, Leipzig, 1867, with a second part called _Glossaria linguarum brasiliensium, Erlangen_, 1863), Chama, Chibcha (or Muysca, Mosca), Cumanagota, Galibi, Goajira, Guarani, Kiriri (Kariri), Lule, Moxa, Paez, Quichua, Tehuelhet, Tonocote, Tupi, etc.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES ON THE MYTHS AND RELIGIONS OF AMERICA.
_By the Editor._
THE earliest scholarly examination of the whole subject, which has been produced by an American author, is Daniel G. Brinton’s _Myths of the New World, a treatise on the symbolism and mythology of the Red Race of America_ (N. Y., 1868; 2d ed., 1876). It is a comparative study, “more for the thoughtful general reader than for the antiquary,” as the author says. “The task,” he adds, “bristles with difficulties. Carelessness, prepossessions, and ignorance have disfigured the subject with false colors and foreign additions without number” (p. 3). After describing the character of the written, graphic, or symbolic records, which the student of history has to deal with in tracing North American history back before the Conquest, he adds, while he deprives mythology of any historical value, that the myths, being kept fresh by repetition, were also nourished constantly by the manifestations of nature, which gave them birth. So while taking issue with those who find history buried in the myths, he warns us to remember that the American myths are not the reflections of history or heroes. In the treatment of his subject he considers the whole aboriginal people of America as a unit, with “its religion as the development of ideas common to all its members, and its myths as the garb thrown around those ideas by imaginations more or less fertile; but seeking everywhere to embody the same notions.”[1894] This unity of the American races is far from the opinion of other ethnologists.
Brinton gives a long bibliographical note on those who had written on the subject before him, in which he puts, as the first (1819) to take a philosophical survey, Dr. Samuel Farmer Jarvis in a _Discourse on the religion of the Indian tribes of North America_, printed in the _N. Y. Hist. Soc. Collections, iii._ (1821). Jarvis confined himself to the tribes north of Mexico, and considered their condition, as he found it, one of deterioration from something formerly higher. There had been, of course, before this, amassers of material, like the Jesuits in Canada, as preserved in their _Relations_,[1895] sundry early French writers on the Indians,[1896] the English agents of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England, and the Moravian missionaries in Pennsylvania and the Ohio country, to say nothing of the historians, like Loskiel (_Geschichte der Mission_, 1789), Vetromile (_Abnakis and their History_, New York, 1866), Cusick (_Six Nations_), not to mention local observers, like Col. Benjamin Hawkins, _Sketch of the Creek Country (Georgia Hist. Soc. Collections_, 1848, but written about 1800).
If the placing of Brinton’s book as the earliest scholarly contribution is to be contested, it would be for E. G. Squier’s _Serpent Symbol in America_ (N. Y., 1851);[1897] but the book is not broadly based, except so far as such comprehensiveness can be deduced from his tendency to consider all myths as having some force of nature for their motive, and that all are traceable to an instinct that makes the worship of fire or of the sun the centre of a system.[1898] With this as the source of life, Squier allies the widespread phallic worship. In Bancroft’s _Native Races_ (iii. p. 501) there is a summary of what is known of this American worship of the generative power. Brinton doubts (_Myths_, etc., 149) if anything like phallic worship really existed, apart from a wholly unreligious surrender to appetite.
Another view which Squier maintains is, that above all this and pervading all America’s religious views there was a sort of rudimentary monotheism.[1899]
When we add to this enumeration the somewhat callow and wholly unsatisfactory contributions of Schoolcraft in the great work on the _Indian Tribes of the United States_ (1851-59), which the U. S. government in a headlong way sanctioned, we have included nearly all that had been done by American authors in this field when Bancroft published the third volume of his _Native Races_. This work constitutes the best mass of material for the student—who must not confound mythology and religion—to work with, the subject being presented under the successive heads of the origin of myths and of the world, physical and animal myths, gods, supernatural beings, worship and the future state; but of course, like all Bancroft’s volumes, it must be supplemented by special works pertaining to the more central and easterly parts of the United States, and to the regions south of Panama. The deficiency, however, is not so much as may be expected when we consider the universality of myths. “Unfortunately,” says this author, “the philologic and mythologic material for such an exhaustive synthesis of the origin and relations of the American creeds as Cox has given to the world in the Aryan legends in his _Mythology of the Aryan Nations_ (London, 1870) is yet far from complete.”
In 1882 Brinton, after riper study, again recast his views of a leading feature of the subject in his _American hero-myths; a study in the native religions of the western continent_ (Philad., 1882), in which he endeavored to present “in a critically correct light some of the fundamental conceptions in the native beliefs.” His purpose was to counteract what he held to be an erroneous view in the common practice of considering “American hero-gods as if they had been chiefs of tribes at some undetermined epoch,” and to show that myths of similar import, found among different peoples, were a “spontaneous production of the mind, and not a reminiscence of an historic event.” He further adds as one of the impediments in the study that he does “not know of a single instance on this continent of a thorough and intelligent study of a native religion made by a Protestant missionary.”[1900] After an introductory chapter on the American myths, Brinton in this volume takes up successively the consideration of the hero-gods of the Algonquins and Iroquois, the Aztecs, Mayas, and the Quichuas of Peru. These myths of national heroes, civilizers, and teachers are, as Brinton says, the fundamental beliefs of a very large number of American tribes, and on their recognition and interpretation depends the correct understanding of most of their mythology and religious life,—and this means, in Brinton’s view, that the stories connected with these heroes have no historic basis.[1901]
The best known of the comprehensive studies by a European writer is J. G. Müller’s _Geschichte der Amerikanischen Urreligionen_ (Basle, 1855; again in 1867), in which he endeavors to work out the theory that at the south there is a worship of nature, with a sun-worship for a centre, contrasted at the north with fetichism and a dread of spirits, and these he considers the two fundamental divisions of the Indian worship. Bancroft finds him a chief dependence at times, but Brinton, charging him with quoting in some instances at second-hand, finds him of no authority whatever.
One of the most reputable of the German books on kindred subjects is the _Anthropologie der Naturvölker_ (Leipzig, 1862-66) of Theodor Waitz. Brinton’s view of it is that no more comprehensive, sound, and critical work on the American aborigines has been written; but he considers him astray on the religious phases, and that his views are neither new nor tenable when he endeavors to subject moral science to a realistic philosophy.[1902]
In speaking of the scope of the comprehensive work of H. H. Bancroft we mentioned that beyond the larger part of the great Athapascan stock of the northern Indians his treatment did not extend. Such other general works as Brinton’s _Myths of the New World_, the sections of his _American Hero-Myths_ on the hero-gods of the Algonquins and Iroquois, and the not wholly satisfactory book of Ellen R. Emerson, _Indian myths; or, Legends, traditions, and symbols of the aborigines of America, compared with those of other countries, including Hindostan, Egypt, Persia, Assyria, and China_ (Boston, 1884), with aid from such papers as Major J. W. Powell’s “Philosophy of the North American Indians” in the _Journal of the Amer. Geographical Society_ (vol. viii. p. 251, 1876), and his “Mythology of the North American Indians” in the _First Annual Rept. of the Bureau of Ethnology_ (1881), and R. M. Dorman’s _Origin of primitive superstition among the aborigines of America_ (Philad., 1881), must suffice in a general way to cover those great ethnic stocks of the more easterly part of North America, which comprise the Iroquois, centred in New York, and surrounded by the Algonquins, west of whom were the Dacotas, and south of whom were the Creeks, Choctaws, and Chickasaws, sometimes classed together as Appalachians.[1903]
The mythology of the Aztecs is the richest mine, and Bancroft in his third volume finds the larger part of his space given to the Mexican religion.
Brinton (_Amer. Hero Myths_, 73, 78), referring to the “Historia de los Méxicanos por sus Pinturas” of Ramirez de Fuenleal, as printed in the _Anales del Museo Nacional_ (ii. p. 86), says that in some respects it is to be considered the most valuable authority which we possess,[1904] as taken directly from the sacred books of the Aztecs, and as explained by the most competent survivors of the Conquest.[1905]
We must also look to Ixtlilxochitl and Sahagún as leading sources. From Sahagún we get the prayers which were addressed to the chief deity, of various names, but known best, perhaps, as Tezcatlipoca; and these invocations are translated for us in Bancroft (iii. 199, etc.), who supposes that, consciously or unconsciously, Sahagún has slipped into them a certain amount of “sophistication and adaptation to Christian ideas.” From the lofty side of Tezcatlipoca’s character, Bancroft (iii. ch. 7) passes to his meaner characteristics as the oppressor of Quetzalcoatl.
The most salient features of the mythology of the Aztecs arise from the long contest of Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl, the story of which modified the religion of their followers, and, as Chavero claims, greatly affected their history.[1906] This struggle, according as the interpreters incline, stands for some historic or physical rivalry, or for one between St. Thomas and the heathen;[1907] but Brinton explains it on his general principles as one between the powers of Light and Darkness (_Am. Hero Myths_, 65).
The main original sources on the character and career of Quetzalcoatl are Motolinía, Mendieta, Sahagún, Ixtlilxochitl, and Torquemada, and these are all summarized in Bancroft (iii. ch. 7).
It has been a question with later writers whether there is a foundation of history in the legend or myth of Quetzalcoatl. Brinton (_Myths of the New World_, 180) has perhaps only a few to agree with him when he calls that hero-god a “pure creature of the fancy, and all his alleged history nothing but a myth,” and he thinks some confusion has arisen from the priests of Quetzalcoatl being called by his name.
Bandelier (_Archæol. Tour_) takes issue with Brinton in deeming Quetzalcoatl on the whole an historical person, whom Ixtlilxochitl connects with the pre-Toltec tribes of Olmeca and Xicalanca, and whom Torquemada says came in while the Toltecs occupied the country. Bandelier thinks it safe to say that Quetzalcoatl began his career in the present state of Hidalgo as a leader of a migration moving southward, with a principal sojourn at Cholula, introducing arts and a purer worship. This is substantially the view taken by J. G. Müller, Prescott, and Wuttke.
Bancroft (iii. 273) finds the _Geschichte der Amer. Urreligionen_ (p. 577) of Müller to present a more thorough examination of the Quetzalcoatl myth than any other,[1908] but since then it has been studied at length by Bandelier in his _Archæological Tour_ (p. 170 etc.), and by Brinton in his _Amer. Hero Myths_, ch. 3.[1909]
* * * * *
What Tylor (_Primitive Culture_, ii. 279) calls “the inexplicable compound, parthenogenetic deity, the hideous, gory Huitzilopochtli” (Huitziloputzli, Vitziliputzli), the god of war,[1910] the protector of the Mexicans, was considered by Boturini (_Idea_, p. 60) as a deified ancient war-chief. Bancroft in his narrative (iii. 289, 294; iv. 559) quotes the accounts in Sahagún and Torquemada, and (pp. 300-322) summarizes J. G. Müller’s monograph on this god, which he published in 1847, and which he enlarged when including it in his _Urreligionen_.
Acosta’s description of the Temple of Huitzilopochtli is translated in Bancroft (iii. 292). Solis follows Acosta, while Herrera copies Gomara, who was not, as Solis contends, so well informed.
As regards the Votan myth of Chiapas, Brinton tells us something in his _American Hero Myths_ (212, with references, 215); but the prime source is the Tzendal manuscript used by Cabrera in his _Teatro Critico-Americano_.[1911] No complete translation has been made, and the abstracts are unsatisfactory. Bancroft aids us in this study of worship in Chiapas (iii. 458), as also in that of Oajaca (iii. 448), Michoacan[1912] (iii. 445), and Jalisco (iii. 447).
“The religion of the Mayas,” says Bancroft (iii. ch. 11), “was fundamentally the same as that of the Nahuas, though it differed somewhat in outward forms. Most of the gods were deified heroes.... Occasionally we find very distinct traces of an older sun-worship which has succumbed to later forms, introduced according to vague tradition from Anahuac.” The view of Tylor (_Anahuac_, 191) is that the “civilization,” and consequently the religions, of Mexico and Central America were originally independent, but that they came much into contact, and thus modified one another to no small extent.”
Modern scholars are not by any means so much inclined as Las Casas and the other Catholic fathers were to recognize the dogma of the Trinity and other Christian notions, which have been thought to be traceable in what the Maya people in their aboriginal condition held for faith.
The most popular of their deified heroes were Zamná and Cukulcan, not unlikely the same personage under two names, and quite likely both are correspondences of Quetzalcoatl. We can find various views and alternatives on this point among the elder and recent writers. The belief in community of attributes derives its strongest aid from the alleged disappearance of Quetzalcoatl in Goazacoalco just at the epoch when Cukulcan appeared in Yucatan. The centres of Maya worship were at Izamal, Chichen-Itza, and the island of Cozumel.
The hero-gods of the Mayas is the topic of Brinton’s fourth chapter in his _American Hero Myths_, with views of their historical relations of course at variance with those of Bancroft. As respects the material, he says that “most unfortunately very meagre sources of information are open to us. Only fragments of their legends and hints of their history have been saved, almost by accident, from the general wreck of their civilization.” The heroes are Itzamná, the leader of the first immigration from the east, through the ocean pathways; and Kukulcan, the conductor of the second from the west. For the first cycle of myths Brinton refers to Landa’s _Relation_, Cogolludo’s _Yucatan_, Las Casas’s _Historia Apologética_, involving the reports of the missionary Francisco Hernandez, and to Hieronimo Roman’s _De la Republica de las Indias Occidentales_.
The Kukulcan legends are considered by Brinton to be later in date and less natural in character, and Hernandez’s Report to Las Casas is the first record of them. Brinton’s theory of the myths does not allow him to identify the Quetzalcoatl and Kukulcan hero-gods as one and the same, nor to show that the Aztec and Maya civilizations had more correspondence than occasional intercourse would produce; but he thinks the similarity of the statue of “Chac Mool,” unearthed by Le Plongeon at Chichen-Itza, to another found at Tlaxcala compels us to believe that some positive connection did exist in parts of the country (_Anales del Museo Nacional_, i. 270).[1913] “The Nahua impress,” says Bancroft (iii. 490), “noticeable in the languages and customs of Nicaragua, is still more strongly marked in the mythology. Instead of obliterating the older forms of worship, as it seems to have done in the northern parts of Central America, it has here and there passed by many of the distinct beliefs held by different tribes, and blended with the chief elements of a system which is traced to the Muyscas in South America.”
The main source of the Quiché myths and worship is the _Popul Vuh_, but Bancroft (iii. 474), who follows it, finds it difficult to make anything comprehensible out of its confusion of statement. But prominent among the deities seem to stand Tepeu or Gucumatz, whom it is the fashion to make the same with Quetzalcoatl, and Hurakan or Tohil, who indeed stands on a plane above Quetzalcoatl. Brinton (_Myths_, 156), on the contrary, connects Hurakan with Tlaloc, and seems to identify Tohil with Quetzalcoatl. Bancroft (iii. 477) says that tradition, name, and attributes connect Tohil and Hurakan, and identify them with Tlaloc.
Brinton’s _Names of the gods in the Kiché myths, a monograph on Central American mythology_ (Philad. Am. Philos. Soc., 1881), is a special study of a part of the subject.
Brinton (_Myths_, etc., 184) considers the best authorities on the mythology of the Muyscas of the Bogota region to be Piedrahita’s _Historia de las Conquistas del Nuevo Reyno de Granada_ (1668, followed by Humboldt in his _Vues_) and Simm’s _Noticias historiales de las Conquistas de Tierra Firme en el Nuevo Reyno de Granada_, given in Kingsborough, vol. viii.
The mythology of the Quichuas in Peru makes the staple of chap. 5 of Brinton’s _Amer. Hero-Myths_. Here the corresponding hero-god was Viracocha. Brinton depends mainly on the _Relacion Anónyma de los Costumbres Antiguos de los Naturales del Piru, 1615_ (Madrid, 1879); on Christoval de Molina’s account of the fables and religious customs of the Incas, as translated by C. R. Markham in the Hakluyt Society volume, _Narratives of the Rites and Laws of the Yncas_ (London, 1873); on the _Comentarios reales_ of Garcilasso de la Vega; on the report made to the viceroy Francisco de Toledo, in 1571, of the responses to inquiries made in different parts of the country as to the old beliefs which appear in the “Informacion de las idolatras de los Incas é Indios,” printed in the _Coleccion de documentos ineditos del archivo de Indias_, xxi. 198; and in the _Relacion de Antigüedades deste Reyno del Piru_, by Juan de Santa Cruz Pachicuti.
Brinton dissents to D’Orbigny’s view in his _L’homme Américaine_, that the Quichua religion is mainly borrowed from the older mythology of the Aymaras.
Francisco de Avila’s “Errors and False Gods of the Indians of Huarochiri” (1608), edited by Markham for the Hakluyt Society in the volume called _Narratives of the Rites and Laws of the Yncas_, is a treatment of a part of the subject.
Adolf Bastian’s _Ein Jahr auf Reisen—Kreuzfahrten zum Sammelbehuf aus Transatlantischen Feldern der Ethnologie_, being the first volume of his _Die Culturländer des Alten America_ (Berlin, 1878), has a section “Aus Religion and Sitte des Alten Peru.”

ARCHÆOLOGICAL MUSEUMS AND PERIODICALS.
_By the Editor._
THE oldest of existing American societies dealing with the scientific aspects of knowledge is the American Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, whose _Transactions_ began in 1769, and made six volumes to 1809. A second series was begun in 1818.[1914] What are called the _Transactions of the Historical and Literary Committee_ make two volumes (1819, 1838), the first of which contains contributions by Heckewelder and P. S. Duponceau on the history and linguistics of the Lenni Lenape. Its _Proceedings_ began in 1838. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences was instituted at Boston in 1780, a part of its object being “to promote and encourage the knowledge of the antiquities of America,”[1915] and its series of _Memoirs_ began in 1783,[1916] and its _Proceedings_ in 1846. These societies have only, as a rule, incidentally, and not often till of late years, illustrated in their publications the antiquities of the new world; but the American Antiquarian Society was founded in 1812 at Worcester, Mass., by Isaiah Thomas, with the express purpose of elucidating this department of American history. It began the _Archæologia Americana_ in 1820, and some of the volumes are still valuable, though they chiefly stand for the early development by Atwater, Gallatin, and others of study in this direction. In the first volume is an account of the origin and design of the society, and this is also set forth in the memoir of Thomas prefixed to its reprint of his _History of Printing in America_, which is a part of the series. The _Proceedings_ of the society were begun in 1849, and they have contained some valuable papers on Central American subjects. The Boston Society of Natural History[1917] published the _Boston Journal of Natural History_ from 1834 to 1863, and in 1866 began its _Memoirs_. Col. Whittlesey gave in its first volume a paper on the weapons and military character of the race of the mounds, and subsequent volumes have had other papers of an archæological nature; but they have formed a small part of its contributions. Its _Proceedings_ have of late years contained some of the best studies of palæolithic man. The American Ethnological Society, founded by Gallatin (New York), began its exclusive work in a series of _Transactions_ (1845-53, vols. i., ii., and one number of vol. iii.), but it was not of long continuance, though it embraced among its contributors the conspicuous names of Gallatin, Schoolcraft, Catherwood, Squier, Rafn, S. G. Morton, J. R. Bartlett, and others. Its _Bulletin_ was not continued beyond a single volume (1860-61).[1918] The society was suspended in 1871.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science began its publications with the _Proceedings_ of its Philadelphia meeting in 1848. Questions of archæology formed, however, but a small portion of its inquiries[1919] till the formation of a section on Anthropology a few years ago.
The American Geographical Society has published a _Bulletin_ (1852-56); _Journal_ (or _Transactions_) (1859), etc., and _Proceedings_ (1862-64). Some of the papers have been of archæological interest.
The Anthropological Institute of New York printed its transactions in a _Journal_ (one vol. only, 1872-73).
The Archæological Institute of America was founded in Boston in 1879, and has given the larger part of its interest to classical archæology. The first report of its executive committee said respecting the field in the new world: “The study of American archæology relates, indeed, to the monuments of a race that never attained to a high degree of civilization, and that has left no trustworthy records of continuous history.... From what it was and what it did, nothing is to be learned that has any direct bearing on the progress of civilization. Such interest as attaches to it is that which it possesses in common with other early and undeveloped races of mankind.” Appended to this report was Lewis H. Morgan’s “Houses of the American Aborigines, with suggestions for the exploration of the ruins in New Mexico,” etc.,—advancing his well-known views of the communal origin of the southern ruins. Under the auspices of the Institute, Mr. A. F. Bandelier, a disciple of Morgan, was sent to New Mexico for the study of the Pueblos, and his experiences are described in the second _Report_ of the Institute. In their third _Report_ (1882) the committee of the Institute say: “The vast work of American archæology and anthropology is only begun.... Other nations, with more or less of success, are trying to do our work on our soil. It is time that Americans bestir themselves in earnest upon a field which it would be a shame to abandon to the foreigner.” Still under the pay of the Institute, Mr. Bandelier, in 1881, devoted his studies to the remains at Mexico, Cholula, Mitla, and the ancient life of those regions. At the same time, Aymé, then American consul at Merida, was commissioned to explore certain regions of Yucatan, but the results were not fortunate.
The Institute began in 1881 the publication of an _American Series_ of its _Papers_, the first number of which embodied Bandelier’s studies of the Pueblos, and the second covered his Mexican researches. In 1885 the _American Journal of Archæology_ was started at Baltimore as the official organ of the Institute, and occasional papers on American subjects have been given in its pages. The editors were called upon to define more particularly their relations to archæology in America in the number for Sept., 1888. In this they say: “The archæology of America is busied with the life and work of a race or races of men in an inchoate, rudimentary, and unformed condition, who never raised themselves, even at their highest point, as in Mexico and Peru, above a low stage of civilization, and never showed the capacity of steadily progressive development.... These facts limit and lower the interest which attaches ... to crude and imperfect human life.... A comparison of their modes of life and thought with those of other races in a similar stage of development in other parts of the world, in ancient and modern times, is full of interest as exhibiting the close similarity of primitive man in all regions, resulting from the sameness of his first needs, in his early struggle for existence.” The editors rest their reasons for giving prominence to classical archæology upon the necessity of affording by such complemental studies the means of comparison in archæological results, which can but advance to a higher plane the methods and inductions of the prehistoric archæology of America.
The American Folk-Lore Society was founded in Jan., 1888, and _The Journal of American Folk-Lore_ was immediately begun. A large share of its papers is likely to cover the popular tales of the American aborigines.
The Anthropological Society of Washington is favorably situated to avail itself of the museums and apparatus of the American government, and members of the Geological Survey and Ethnological Bureau have been among the chief contributors to its _Transactions_,[1920] which in January, 1888, were merged in a more general publication, _The American Anthropologist_. A National Geographic Society was organized in Washington in 1888.
There are numerous local societies throughout the United States whose purpose, more or less, is to cover questions of archæological import. Those that existed prior to 1876 are enumerated in Scudder’s _Catalogue of Scientific Serials_; but it was not easy always to draw the line between historical associations and those verging upon archæological methods.[1921]
The oldest of the scientific periodicals in the United States to devote space to questions of anthropology is Silliman’s _American Journal of Science and Arts_ (1818, etc.). The _American Naturalist_, founded in 1867, also entered the field of archæology and anthropology. The same may be said in some degree of the _Popular Science Monthly_ (1877, etc.), _Science_ (1883), and the _Kansas City Review_. The chief repository of such contributions, however, since 1878, has been _The American Antiquarian_ (Chicago), edited by Stephen D. Peet. Its papers are, unluckily, of very uneven value.[1922]
The best organized work has been done in the United States by the Peabody Museum of American Archæology and Ethnology, in Cambridge, Mass., and by certain departments of the Federal government at Washington.
The Peabody Museum resulted from a gift of George Peabody, an American banker living in London, who instituted it in 1866 as a part of Harvard University.[1923] It was fortunate in its first curator, Dr. Jeffries Wyman, who brought unusual powers of comprehensive scrutiny to its work.[1924] He died in 1874, and was succeeded by one of his and of Agassiz’s pupils, Frederick W. Putnam, who was also placed in the chair of archæology in the university in 1886. The _Reports_, now twenty-two in number, and the new series of _Special Papers_ are among the best records of progress in archæological science.
The creation of the Smithsonian Institution in 1846, under the bequest of an Englishman, James Smithson, and the devotion of a sum of about $31,000 a year at that time arising from that gift, first put the government of the United States in a position “to increase and diffuse knowledge among men.”[1925]
The second _Report_ of the Regents in 1848 contains approvals of a manuscript by E. G. Squier and E. H. Davis, which had been offered to the Institution for publication, and which had been commended by Albert Gallatin, Edward Robinson, John Russell Bartlett, W. W. Turner, S. G. Morton, and George P. Marsh. Thus an important archæological treatise, _The Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley, comprising the results of extensive original surveys and explorations_ (Washington, 1848), became the first of the _Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge_. The subsequent volumes of the series have contained other important treatises in similar fields. Foremost among them may be named those of Squier on the Aboriginal Monuments of New York (vol. ii., 1851); Col. Whittlesey on _The Ancient Works in Ohio_ (vol. iii., 1852); S. R. Riggs’ _Dakota Grammar and Dictionary_ (vol. iv., 1852); I. A. Lapham’s _Antiquities of Wisconsin_ (vol. vii., 1855); S. F. Haven’s _Archæology of the United States_ (vol. viii., 1856); Brantz Mayer’s _Mexican History and Archæology_ (vol. ix., 1857); Whittlesey on _Ancient Mining on Lake Superior_ (vol. xiii., 1863); Morgan’s _Systems of Consanguinity of the human family_ (vol. xvii., 1871);—not to name lesser papers. To supplement this quarto series, another in octavo was begun in 1862, called _Miscellaneous Collections_; and in this form there have appeared J. M. Stanley’s _Catalogue of portraits of No. Amer. Indians_ (vol. ii., 1862); a _Catalogue of photographic portraits of the No. Amer. Indians_ (vol. xiv., 1878).
Of much more interest to the anthropologist has been the series of _Annual Reports_ with their appended papers,—such as Squier on _The Antiquities of Nicaragua_ (1851); W. W. Turner on _Indian Philology_ (1852); S. S. Lyon on _Antiquities from Kentucky_ (1858), and many others.
The sections of correspondence and minor papers in these reports soon began to include communications about the development of archæological research in various localities. They began to be more orderly arranged under the sub-heading of Ethnology in the Report for 1867, and this heading was changed to Anthropology in the _Report_ for 1879. Charles Rau (d. 1887) had been a leading contributor in this department, and no. 440 of the Smithsonian publications was made up of his _Articles on Anthropological Subjects, contributed from 1863 to 1877_ (Washington, 1882). No. 421 is Geo. H. Boehmer’s _Index to Anthropological Articles in the publications of the Smithsonian Institution_ (Washington, 1881). Among the later papers those of O. T. Mason of the Anthropological Department of the National Museum are conspicuous.
The last series is the _Reports of the Bureau of Ethnology_, placed by Congress in the charge of the Smithsonian. The _Reports of the American Historical Association_ will soon be begun under the same auspices.
Major J. W. Powell, the director of the Bureau of Ethnology, said that its purpose was “to organize anthropologic research in America.”[1926] It published its first report in 1881, and this and the later reports have had for contents, beside the summary of work constituting the formal report, the following papers:—
Vol. i.: J. W. POWELL. The evolution of language.—Sketch of the mythology of the North American Indians.—Wyandot government.—On limitations to the use of some anthropologic data.—H. C. YARROW.

What is known as the United States National Museum is also in charge of the Smithsonian Institution,[1927] and here are deposited the objects of archæological and historical interest secured by the government explorations and by other means. The linguistic material is kept in the Bureau of Ethnology. The skulls and physiological material, illustrative of prehistoric times, are deposited in the Army Medical Museum, under the Surgeon-General’s charge.
Major Powell, while in charge of the Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region, had earlier prepared five volumes of _Contributions to Ethnology_, all but the second of which have been published. The first volume (1877) contained W. H. Dall’s “Tribes of the Extreme Northwest” and George Gibbs’ “Tribes of Western Washington and Northwestern Oregon.” The third (1877): Stephen Powers’ “Tribes of California.” The fourth (1881): Lewis H. Morgan’s “Houses and house life of the American Aborigines.” The fifth (1882): Charles Rau’s “Lapidarian sculpture of the Old World and in America,” Robert Fletcher’s “Prehistoric trephining and cranial Amulets,” and Cyrus Thomas on the Troano Manuscript, with an introduction by D. G. Brinton.
Among the _Reports_ of the geographical and geological explorations and surveys west of the 100th meridian conducted by Capt. Geo. M. Wheeler, the seventh volume, _Report on Archæological and Ethnological Collections from the vicinity of Santa Barbara, California, and from ruined pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico and certain Interior Tribes_ (Washington, 1879), was edited by F. W. Putnam, and contains papers on the ethnology of Southern California, wood and stone implements, sculptures, musical instruments, beads, etc.; the Pueblos of New Mexico, their inhabitants, architecture, customs, cliff houses and other ruins, skeletons, etc.; with an _Appendix_ on Linguistics, containing forty Vocabularies of Pueblo and other Western Indian Languages and their classification into seven families.
The _Reports_ of the Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories, under the charge of F. V. Hayden, brought to us in those of 1874-76 the knowledge of the cliff-dwellers, and they contain among the miscellaneous publications such papers as W. Matthews’ _Ethnography and Philology of the Hidatsa Indians_ and W. H. Jackson’s _Descriptive Catalogue of photographs of No. Amer. Indians_.
There are other governmental documents to be noted: _The Exploration of the Red River of Louisiana in 1852_, by R. B. Marcy and G. B. McClellan (Washington, 1854), contains a vocabulary of the Comanches and Witchitas, with some general remarks by W. W. Turner. There is help to be derived from the geographical details, and from something on ethnology, in the _Reports of Explorations and Surveys for a Railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean_ (Washington, 1856-60, in 12 vols.); in W. H. Emory’s _Report on the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey_ (Washington, 1857-58, in 2 vols.); J. H. Simpson’s _Report of Explorations across the great basin of the territory of Utah in 1859_ (Washington, 1876); J. N. Macomb’s _Report of the Exploring Expedition from Santa Fé to the Junction of the Grand and Green Rivers of the Great Colorado of the West in 1859_ (Washington, 1876).
There were also published, under the auspices of the government, the conglomerate and very unequal work of Henry R. Schoolcraft, _Historical and Statistical Information respecting the history, conditions, and prospects of the Indian Tribes of the United States, collected and prepared under the direction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs_ (Philad., 1851-57, in 6 vols., with a trade edition of the same date). An act of Congress (March 3, 1847) authorized its publication. As reissued it is called _Archives of aboriginal knowledge, containing original papers laid before Congress, respecting the Indian tribes of the United States_ (Philadelphia, 1860, ’68, 6 vols.). It has the following divisions: General history.—Manners and customs.—Antiquities.—Geography.—Tribal organization, etc.—Intellectual capacity.—Topical history.—Physical type.—Language.—Art.—Religion and mythology.—Demonology, magic, etc.—Medical knowledge.—Condition and prospects.—Statistics and population.—Biography.—Literature.—Post-Columbian history.—Economy and statistics. An edition of vols. 1-5 (1856) is called _Ethnological researches respecting the Red Men of America, Information respecting the history_, etc. The sixth volume is in effect a summary of the preceding five.[1928]
At a recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a committee was charged with preparing a memorial to Congress, urging action to insure the preservation of certain national monuments. There is a summary of their report in _Science_, xii. p. 101.

Of all European countries, the most has been done in France, by way of periodical system and corporate organizations, to advance the study of American anthropology, ethnology, and archæology. The _Annales des voyages, de la géographie et de l’histoire, traduits de toutes les langues Européennes; des relations originales, inédites_,[1929] the publication of which was begun by Malte-Brun in 1808 and continued to 1814, and the _Nouvelles Annales des Voyages_, begun in 1819 and continued with a slightly varying title till 1870, are sources occasionally of much importance. At a later day, Edouard Lartet and others have used the _Annales des Sciences Naturelles_ as a medium for their publications. We hardly trace here, however, any corporate movement before the institution of the Société de Géographie de Paris in 1820. In 1824 it issued the first volume of its _Recueil de Voyages et de Mémoires_, which reached seven volumes in 1864, and had included (vol. ii.) an account of Palenqué and the researches of Warden on the antiquities of the United States. Since this society began the issue of its _Bulletin_ in 1827, it has occasionally given assistance in the study of American archæology.
The earliest distinctive periodical on the subject was the _Revue Américaine_, of which, in 1826-27, three volumes, in monthly parts, were published in Paris.[1930] In 1857 a movement was inaugurated which engaged first and last the coöperation of some eminent scholars in these studies, like Aubin, Buschmann, V. A. Malte-Brun, Abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg, Jomard, Alphonse Pinart, Cortambert, Léon de Rosny, Waldeck, Abbé Domenech, Charencey, etc. The active movers were first known as the Comité d’Archéologie Américaine, and they issued an _Annuaire_ (1863-67) and one volume, at least, of _Actes_ (1865), as well as a collection of _Mémoires sur l’archéologie Américaine_ (1865). This organization soon became known as the Société Américaine de France, and under the auspices of this name there has been a series of publications of varying designation.[1931] Its _Annuaire_ began in 1868, and has been continued. The general name of _Archives de la Société Américaine de France_ covers its other publications, which more or less coincide with the _Revue Orientale et Américaine par Léon de Rosny_, the first series of which appeared in Paris in 10 vols., in 1859-65, followed by a second, the first volume of which (vol. xi. of the whole) is called _Revue Américaine, publié sous les auspices de la Société d’Ethnographie et du Comité d’Archéologie Américaine_, and is at the same time the fourth volume of the _Actes de la Société d’Ethnographie Américaine et Orientale_. The whole series is sometimes cited as the _Mémoires de la Société d’Ethnographie_.[1932] The series, already referred to, of the _Archives de la Soc. Amér. de France_ is made up thus: Première série: vol. i., _Revue Orientale et Américaine_; ii., _Revue Américaine_; iii. and iv., _Revue Orientale et Américaine_.[1933] The nouvelle série has no sub-titles, and the three volumes bear date 1875, 1876, 1884.
The student of comparative anthropology will resort to the _Materiaux pour l’histoire positive et philosophique_ (later _primitive et naturelle_) _de l’homme_, the publication of which was begun at Paris in 1864 by Gabriel de Mortillet, and has been continued by Trutot, Cartailhac, Chautre, and others. This publication has contained abstracts of the proceedings of an annual gathering in Paris, whose _Comptes rendu_ have been printed at length as of the _Congrès international d’anthropologie et d’archéologie préhistoriques_ (1865, etc.).[1934]
Léon de Rosny published but a single volume of a projected series, _Archives paléographiques de l’Orient et de l’Amérique_ (Paris, 1870-71), which contains some papers on Mexican picture-writing. Rosny and others, who had been active in the movement begun by the Comité d’Archéologie Américaine, were now instrumental in organizing the periodical gathering in different cities of Europe, which is known as the _Congrès international des Américanistes_. The first session was held at Nancy in 1875, and its _Compte Rendu_ was published in two volumes (Nancy and Paris, 1876). The second meeting was at Luxembourg in 1877 (_Compte Rendu_, Paris, 1878, in 2 vols.); the third at Brussels in 1879 (_Compte Rendu_); the fourth at Madrid in 1881 (_Congreso internacional de Américanistas. Cuarta reunion_, Madrid, 1881); the fifth at Copenhagen (_Compte Rendu_, Copenhagen, 1884); and others at Chalons-sur-Marne, Turin, and Berlin. The papers are printed in the language in which they were read.
The _Mémoires de la Société d’Ethnographie_ (founded in 1859) began to appear in 1881, and its third volume (1882) is entitled _Les Documents écrits de l’Antiquité Américaine, compte rendu d’une mission scientifique en Espagne et en Portugal, par Léon de Rosny, avec une carte et 10 planches_. The fourth volume is P. de Lucy-Fossarieu’s _Ethnographie de l’Amérique Antarctique_ (Paris, 1884). In the second volume of a new series there is an account by V. Devaux of the work in American ethnology done by Lucien de Rosny as a preface to a posthumous work[1935] of Lucien de Rosny, _Les Antilles, étude d’Ethnographie et d’Archéologique Américaines_ (Paris, 1886).
Latterly there has been a consolidation of interests among kindred societies under the name of Institution Ethnographique, whose initial _Rapport annuel sur les récompenses et encouragements décernés en 1883_ was published at Paris in 1883. This society now comprises the Société d’Ethnographie, Société Américaine de France, Athénée Oriental, and Société des Etudes Japonaises.

In England, organized efforts for the record of knowledge began with the creation of the Royal Society, though certain sporadic attempts had earlier been known. America was represented among its founders in the younger John Winthrop, and Cotton Mather was a contributor to its transactions, and there has occasionally been a paper in its publications of interest to American archæologists.[1936] The Society of Antiquaries began to print its _Archæologia_ in 1779 and its _Proceedings_ in 1848, and the American student finds some valuable papers in them. The British Association for the Advancement of Science began its _Reports_ with the meeting of 1831, and it has had among its divisions a section of anthropology. In 1830 the Royal Geographical Society began its _Journal_ with a preliminary issue (1830-31, in 2 vols.), though its regular series first came out in 1832. Its _Proceedings_ appeared in 1855, and both publications are a conspicuous source in many ways relating to early American history.[1937] Closely connected with its interest has been the publication begun under the editing of C. R. Markham, and called successively _Ocean Highways_ (1869-73, vol. i.-v.), with an added title of _Geographical Review_ (1873-74), and lastly as _The Geographical Magazine_ (vol. i.-iii., 1874-76).
The Ethnological Society published four volumes of a _Journal_[1938] between 1844 and 1856, and resuming published two more volumes in 1869-70. Its contents are mainly of interest in comparative study, though there are a few American papers, like D. Forbes’s on the Aymara Indians of Peru. This society’s _Transactions_ was issued in two volumes, 1859-60; and again in seven volumes, 1861-69.
Meanwhile, some gentlemen, not content with the restricted field of the Ethnological Society, founded in London an Anthropological Society, which began the publication of _Memoirs_ (1863-69, in 3 vols.); and in this publication Bollaert issued his papers on the population of the new world, on the astronomy of the red man, on American paleography, on Maya hieroglyphics, on the anthropology of the new world, on Peruvian graphic records,—not to name other papers by different writers. The _Transactions_ and _Journal_ of the society, as well as the _Popular Magazine of Anthropology_ (1866), made part in one form or another of the _Anthropological Review_, begun in 1863, and discontinued in 1870, when the _Journal of Anthropology_ succeeded, but ceased the next year. The _Proceedings_ of the society make one volume, 1873-75, under the title of _Anthropologia_, and the society also maintained a series of translations of foreign treatises, the first of which was Theodor Waitz’s _Introduction to Anthropology_, ed. from the German by J. F. Collingwood (1863); and this was followed by a version by James Hunt, the president of the society, of Professor Carl Vogt’s _Lectures on Man, his place in Creation and in the history of the Earth_ (1864), and by other works of Broca, Pouchet, Blumenbach, etc.
What is known as the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland united some of these separate endeavors and began its _Journal_ in 1871. The _Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society_ has also at times been the channel by which some of the leading anthropologists have published their views, and a few papers of archæological import have been given in the _Transactions_ (1884, etc.) of the Royal Historical Society. Professedly broader relations belong to the _Transactions_ (_Comptes rendus_) of the International Congress of prehistoric (anthropology and) archæology, which began its sessions in 1866.[1939] The latest summary is the _Archæological Review, a journal of historic and prehistoric antiquities_, edited by G. L. Gomme, of which the first number appeared in March, 1888, which has for a main feature a bibliographical record of past and current archæological literature.[1940]
It is, however, in the volumes of the Hakluyt Society’s publications, beginning in 1847, in the annotated reprint of the early writers on American nations and on the European contact with them, that the most signal service has been done in England to the study of the early history of the new world. They are often referred to in the present History.

In Germany a _Magazin für die Naturgeschichte des Menschen_ was published at Zittau as early as 1788-1791.
Wagner published at Vienna, in 1794-96, two volumes of _Beiträge zur philosophischen Anthropologie_; and Heynig’s _Psychologisches (zugleich Anthropologisches) Magazin_ was published at Altenburg in 1796-97.
The Berliner Akademie der Wissenschaft began its _Abhandlungen_ in 1804, but it was not till long after that date that Buschmann and others used it as a channel of their views.
Vertuch’s _Archiv für Ethnographie und Linguistik_ (Weimar, 1807) only reached a single number.
The _Zeitschrift für physische Aerzte_, which was published by Nasse, at Leipzig, 1818-22, was succeeded by the _Zeitschrift für die Anthropologie_ (Leipzig, 1823-24), and this was followed by a single volume, _Jahrbücher für Anthropologie_ (Leipzig, 1830).
Bran’s _Ethnographisches Archiv_ was published at Jena from 1818 to 1829.
It was not till after 1860 that the new interest began to manifest itself, though Fechner’s _Centralblatt für Naturwissenschaften und Anthropologie_ was published at Leipzig in 1853-54.
Ecker’s _Archiv für Anthropologie_ was published at Braunschweig in 1866-68, which came in 1870 under the direction of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte, which also began a _Correspondenzblatt_ in 1870, and a series, _Allgemeine Versammlung_, in 1873. This is the most important of the German societies.
Bastian’s _Zeitschrift für Ethnologie_ was begun at Berlin in 1869, and later added a _Supplement_.
The Anthropologische Gesellschaft of Vienna began its _Mittheilungen_ in 1870; and in 1887 the Prähistorische Commission of the Kais. Akad. der Wissenschaften at Vienna printed the first number of its _Mittheilungen_.
The _Verein für Anthropologie_ in Leipzig published but a single number of a _Bericht_ in 1871.
The Berliner Gesellschaft für Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte continued its _Verhandlungen_ for 1871-72 only; and the Göttinger Anthropologischer Verein made but a bare beginning (1874) of its _Mittheilungen_.
The _Bericht_ of the Museum für Völkerkunde was begun in Leipzig in 1874.
The Münchener Gesellschaft für Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte began the publication of _Beiträge_ in 1876.
In all these publications there have been papers interesting to American archæologists, if only in a comparative way, and at times American subjects have been frequent, especially in later years. The publications of zoölogical and geographical societies have in some respects been at times of equal interest, but it has not been thought worth while to enumerate them.[1941]
The Königliche Museum at Berlin has a considerable collection of American antiquities, which has been fostered by Humboldt and others, and the ethnological department has made some important publications like those relating to _Amerika’s Nordwestküste_.[1942]
Waitz in his _Anthropologie der Naturvölker_ (vol. iii.; _Die Amerikaner_, Th. i., Leipzig, 1862) has enumerated the literature of American anthropology upon which he depended.
* * * * *
The interest in most of the other European countries is more remotely American. The Museum of Ethnography at St. Petersburg is not without some objects of interest.[1943]
In Sweden the Antropologiska Sällskapet of Stockholm began a _Tidsskrift_ in 1875; but it affords little assistance to the Americanist except in comparative study.[1944]
The student will find some suggestions in a little tract by J. J. A. Worsaae, _De l’organisation des musées historico-archéologiques dans le Nord et ailleurs. Traduit par E. Beauvois_ (Copenhagen, 1885), which is extracted from the _Mémoires de la société royale des antiquaires de Nord, 1885_.
There has begun recently in Leyden an _Internationales Archiv für Ethnographie. Herausg. von Krist. Bahnson, Guido Cora [etc.]_ (Leiden, 1888).
In Italy the _Archivio per l’Antropologia et la Etnologia_ was begun at Florence in 1871, and was later made the organ of the Società Italiana di Antropologia di Etnologia. There is an occasional paper in the _Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana_, published at Rome.
In Spain the Sociedad Antropológica Española began at Madrid the publication of its _Revista de Antropologia_ in 1875.
The session of the Congrès des Américanistes at Madrid in 1881 gave a new life in Spain to the study of American archæology and history, and out of this impulse there was begun a _Biblioteca de los Americanistas, publícala D. Justo Zaragoza; Editor D. Luis Navarro_; and the series has been begun with the _Recordacion florida, discurso del reino de Guatemala_, an hitherto unpublished work (1690) of Francisco Antonio de Fuentes y Guzmán, edited by Justo Zaragoza; and with the _Historia de Venezuela_, being a third edition of the work of José de Oviedo y Baños, edited by C. F. Duro.
The Museo Nacional in Mexico has grown to have a proper importance,[1945] since the Mexican government has prevented the further exportation of archæological relics. It was founded in 1824 by Fathers Icaza and Gondra, but it owes its creation largely to the skill of Professor Gumesindo Mendoza, its curator, by whose death it lost much.[1946] There is a tendency to draw to it other collections. There was a beginning made to publish illustrations of the relics in the museum sixty years ago, but it came to little,[1947] and it was not until recently the publication of _Anales del Museo Nacional de Méjico_ was begun that there seemed to be a proper effort made. The periodicals _Revista Mexicana_ (1835), and _Museo Mexicano_ (1843-45) have done something to illustrate the subject,—not to name others of less importance. The principal periodical source farther south, the _Registro Yucatéco_, only ran to four volumes, published at Merida in 1845-46.
The most conspicuous archæological repository in South America is that of the National Museum at Rio de Janeiro, whose published _Mémoires_ contain important contributions to Brazilian Archæology.

_The editor must be understood as approaching the purely archæological side of the study of Aboriginal America, as a student of the literature pertaining to it, rather than as a critic of phenomena. He has not proceeded even in this course without consultation with Professors Putnam, Haynes, and Brinton, with Mr. Lucien Carr and with Señor Icazbalceta._

FOOTNOTES:
[1] Herrera failed to add a list of authors to the original edition of his _Historia_ (1601-1615), but one of about thirty-three entries is found in later editions.
[2] See Vol. IV. p. 417.
[3] Sabin, vol. x. no. 40,053; Carter-Brown, vol. ii. no. 347; Rich (1832), no. 188; Trübner, _Bibliographical Guide to American Literature_, p. viii; Murphy, no. 1,471.

[5] For an account of a likeness, see J. C. Smith’s _British Mezzotint Portraits_, iv. no. 1,694.
[6] The book, of which 250 copies only were printed, is rare, and Quaritch prices it at £3 (Sabin, vol. ix. no. 37,447). It preserves some titles which are not otherwise known; and represents a library which Kennett had gathered for presentation to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Rich (_Bibl. Amer. nova_, i. 21) says the index was made by Robert Watts. Although Stevens (Historical Collections, i. 142) says that the books were dispersed, the library is still in existence in London, though it lacks many titles given in the printed catalogue, and shows others not in that volume. Cf. _Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc._, xx. 274; Allibone, ii. 1020; James Jackson’s _Bibliographies géographiques_ (Paris, 1881), no. 606; Trübner’s _Bibliographical Guide_, p. ix; Sabin, _Bibliography of Bibliographies_, p. lxxxvii.

It is noteworthy, in view of so rich an accession coming from Germany, that Grahame, the historian of our colonial period, says that in 1825 he found the University Library at Göttingen richer in books for his purpose than all the libraries of Britain joined together.
[19] This collection is also embraced in the Catalogue of the College Library already referred to. Mr. Warden began the collection of another library, which he used while writing the American part (10 vols.) of the _Art de vérifier des Dates_, Paris, 1826-1844, and which (1,118 works) was afterward sold to the State Library at Albany for $4,000. Dr. Henry A. Homes, the librarian at Albany, informs me that when arranged it made twenty-one hundred and twenty-three volumes. Warden’s _Bibliotheca Americana_, Paris, 1831, reprinted at Paris in 1840, is a catalogue of this collection. Mr. Warden died in 1845, aged 67. Cf. Ludewig in the _Serapeum_, 1845, p. 209; Muller, _Books on America_ (1872), no. 1734; Allibone, iii. 2,579; S. G. Goodrich, _Recollections_, ii. 243; Jackson’s _Bibl.

[20] This portrait of one of the earliest contributors to the bibliography of American history follows an engraving in the _Allgemeine geographische Ephemeriden_, May, 1800, p. 395. Ebeling was born Nov. 20, 1741, and died June 30, 1817, and his own contributions to American History were—
(_a_) _Amerikanische Bibliothek_ (Zwei Stücke), Leipzig, 1777.
(_b_) _Erdbescreibung und Geschichte von America_, Hamburg, 1795-1816, in seven vols.; the author’s interleaved copy, with manuscript notes, is in Harvard College Library.
(_c_) With Professor Hegewisch, _Americanisches Magazin_, Hamburg, 1797.
There are other likenesses,—one a large lithograph published at Hamburgh; the other a small profile by C. H. Kniep. Both are in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society.
[21] This collection was offered to Congress for purchase through Edward Everett in December, 1827. The printed list, with nearly a hundred entries for manuscripts and three hundred and eighty-nine for printed books, covering the years 1506-1825, was printed as Document 37 of the 1st session of the 20th Congress. The sale was not effected. Rich had been able to gather the books at moderate cost because of the troubled political state of the peninsula. Trübner, _Bibliographical Guide_, p. xv.

After Mr. Rich’s death Mr. Edward G. Allen took the business, and issued various catalogues of books on America in 1857-1871. Cf. Jackson’s _Bibliog. Géog._, nos. 677-682.
[27] See Vol. III. p. 159. The catalogue, being without date, is sometimes given later than 1833. Cf. Jackson, _Bibliog. Géog._, no. 636; and no. 690. A new _Rough List_ of the Barlow Collection was printed in 1885.
[28] _Magazine of American History_, iii. 177. This library was sold in November, 1836, as Raetzel’s; the numbers 908-2,117 concerned America. Trübner (_Bibliographical Guide_, p. xviii) says the collection was formed by Ternaux probably with an ultimate view to sale. Ternaux did not die till December, 1864.

It may be worth record that Gowan, a publisher in New York, was the earliest (1846) to instigate a taste for large paper copies among American collectors, by printing in that style Furman’s edition of Denton’s _Description of New York_, after the manner of the English purveyors to book-fancying.
[44] See _Proceedings of the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society_, Philadelphia, 1881, p. 28.
[45] Mr. Wilberforce Eames is the new editor. A list of the catalogues prepared by Mr. Sabin is given in his _Bibliography of Bibliographies_, p. cxxiv, etc.
[46] The German translation, _Kritische Untersuchungen_, was made by J. I. Ideler, Berlin, 1852, in 3 vols. It has an index, which the French edition lacks.

[49] In his _Cosmos_ Humboldt gives results, which he says are reached in his unpublished sixth volume of the _Examen critique_.
[50] The Humboldt Library was burned in London in June, 1865. Nearly all of the catalogues were destroyed at the same time; but a few large paper copies were saved, which, being perfected with a new title (London, 1878), have since been offered by Stevens for sale. Portions of the introduction to it are also used in an article by Stevens on Humboldt, in the _Journal of Sciences and Arts_ January, 1870. Various of Humboldt’s manuscripts on American matters are advertised in Stargardt’s _Amerika und Orient_, no. 135, p. 3 (Berlin, 1881).

[52] Mr. Sparks died March 14, 1866. Tributes were paid to his memory by distinguished associates in the Massachusetts Historical Society (_Proceedings_, ix. 157), and Dr. George E. Ellis reported to them a full and appreciative memoir (_Proceedings_, x. 211). Cf. also _Amer. Antiq. Soc. Proc._, March, 1866; _Historical Magazine_, May, 1866; Brantz Mayer before the Maryland Historical Society, 1867, etc.

[54] The principal interpreter of the Indian languages of the temperate parts of North America has been Dr. J. Hammond Trumbull, of Hartford, for whose labor in the bibliography of the subject see a chapter in vol i. of the _Memorial History of Boston_. There is also a collection edited by him, of books in and upon the Indian languages, in the _Brinley Catalogue_, iii. 123-145. He gave in the _Proceedings_ of the American Antiquarian Society, and also separately in 1874, a list of books in the Indian languages, printed at Cambridge and Boston, 1653-1721 (Field, _Indian Bibliography_, no. 1,571). Cf. also Ludewig’s _Literature of American Aboriginal Languages_, mentioned on an earlier page. It was edited and corrected by William W. Turner. (Cf. _Pinart-Brasseur Catalogue_, no. 565; Field, _Indian Bibliography_, no. 959).
Icazbalceta published in 1866, at Mexico, a list of the writers on the languages of America; and Romero made a similar enumeration of those of Mexico, in 1862, in the _Boletin de la Sociedad Mexicana de Geografia_, vol. viii. Dr. Daniel G. Brinton has made a good introduction to the literary history of the native Americans in his _Aboriginal American Authors_, published by him at Philadelphia in 1883. For his own linguistic contributions, see Field, _Indian Bibliography_, no. 187, etc. One of the earliest enumerations of linguistic titles can be picked out of the list which Boturini Benaduci, in 1746, appended to his _Idea de una nueva historia general de la America septentrional_.
The most extensive enumeration of the literature of all the North American tongues is doubtless to be the _Bibliography of North American Linguistics_, which is preparing by Mr. James C. Pilling of the Bureau of Ethnology in Washington, and which will be published in due time by that bureau. A preliminary issue (100 copies) for corrections is called _Proof-sheets of a Bibliography of the Indian Languages of North America_ (pp. xl, 1135).
The _Bibliotheca Americana_ of Leclerc (Paris, 1879) affords many titles to which a preliminary “Table des Divisions” affords an index, and most of them are grouped under the heading “Linguistique,” p. 537, etc. The third volume of H. H. Bancroft’s Native Races, particularly in its notes, is a necessary aid in this study; and a convenient summary of the whole subject will be found in chapter x. of John T. Short’s _North Americans of Antiquity_. J. C. E. Buschmann has been an ardent laborer in this field; the bibliographies give his printed works (Field’s _Indian Bibliography_, p. 208, etc.), and Stargardt’s _Catalogue_ (no. 135, p. 6) shows some of his manuscripts. The Comte Hyacinthe de Charencey has for some years, from time to time, printed various minor monographs on these subjects; and in 1883 he collected his views in a volume of _Mélanges de philologie et de paléographie Américaines_.
The Abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg, in his _Bibliothèque Mexico-Guatemalienne_ (Leclerc, nos. 81, 1,084), has given for Central America a very excellent list of the works on the linguistics of the natives, which are all contained also in the _Catalogue_ of the Pinart-Brasseur sale, which took place in Paris in January and February, 1884. Cf. the paper on Brasseur by Dr. Brinton, in _Lippincott’s Magazine_, vol. i.; and the enumeration of his numerous writings in Sabin’s _Dictionary_, ii. 7,420; also Leclerc, Field, and Bancroft.
Dr. Félix C. Y. Sobron’s _Los Idiomas de la America Latina,—Estudios Biografico-bibliograficos_, published a few years since at Madrid, gives, according to Dr. Brinton, extended notices of several rare volumes; but on the whole the book is neither exhaustive nor very accurate.
Julius Platzmann’s _Verzeichniss einer Auswahl Amerikanischer Grammatiken_, etc. (Leipsic, 1876), is a small but excellent list, with proper notes. These bibliographies will show the now numerous works upon the aboriginal tongues, their construction and their fruits.
There are several important series interesting to the student, which are found in the catalogues. Such are the _Bibliothèque linguistique Américaine_, published in seven volumes by Maisonneuve in Paris (Leclerc, no. 2,674); the _Coleccion de linguistica y etnografía Americanas_, or _Bibliothèque de linguistique et d’Ethnographie Américaines_, 1875, etc., edited by A. L. Pinart; the _Library of American Linguistics_, in thirteen volumes, edited by Dr. John G. Shea (Cf. _Brinley Catalogue_, vol. iii. no. 5,631; Field, no. 1,396); _Brinton’s Library of Aboriginal American Literature_, published by Dr. D. G. Brinton in Philadelphia; and Brasseur de Bourbourg’s _Collection de documents dans les langues indigènes_, Paris, 1861-1864, in four volumes (cf. Field, p. 175).
The earliest work printed exclusively in a native language was the _Catecismo de la Doctrina Cristiana en lengua Timuiquana_, published at Mexico in 1617 (cf. Sabin, vol. xiv. no. 58,580; Finotti, p. 14). This is the statement often made; but Mr. Pilling refers me to references in Icazbalceta’s _Zumárraga_ (vol. 1. p. 200) to an earlier edition of about 1547; and in the same author’s _Bibliografia Mexicana_ (p. 32), to one of 1553. Molina’s _Vocabulario de la lengua Castellana y Mexicana_, placing the Nahuatl and Castilian in connection, was printed at Mexico in 1555. The book is very rare, five or six copies only being known; and Quaritch has priced an imperfect copy at £72 (Quaritch, _Bibliog. Géog. linguistica_, 1879, no. 12,616; Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 206; _Brinley Catalogue_, vol. iii. no, 5,771). The edition of 1571 is also rare (_Pinart-Brasseur Catalogue_, no. 630; Carter-Brown, vol. i. nos. 285, 286; Quaritch, 1879, no. 12,617). The first edition of Molina’s Aztec grammar, _Arte de la lengua Mexicana y Castellana_, was published the same year (1571). Quaritch (1879, no. 12,615) prices this at £52 10_s._ Cf. also Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 284. One of the chief of the more recent studies of the linguistics of Mexico is Francisco Pimentel’s _Cuadro descriptivo y comparativo de las lenguas indigenas de México_, Mexico, 1862-1865; and second edition in 1874-1875.
This subject has other treatment later in the present volume.
[55] It included two thousand and thirty-four items, ninety-four of which were Mr. Squier’s own works.
[56] Vol. II. p. 578.
[57] He says that up to 1881 he had gathered 35,000 volumes, at a cost of $300,000, exclusive of time and travelling expenses. His manuscripts embraced 1,200 volumes. The annual growth of his library is still 1,000 volumes.
[58] One twelfth of the earth’s surface, as he says.
[59] Cf. account of Maximilian’s library in the _Bookworm_ (1869), p. 14.
[60] These biographical data are derived from a tract given out by himself which he calls _A brief account of the literary undertakings of Hubert Howe Bancroft_ (San Francisco, A. L. Bancroft & Co. [his own business house], 1882, 8vo, pp. 12). Other accounts of his library will be found in the _American Bibliopolist_, vii. 44; and in Apponyi’s _Libraries of California_, 1878. Descriptions of the library and of the brick building (built in 1881) which holds it, and of his organized methods, have occasionally appeared in the _Overland Monthly_ and in other serial issues of California, as well as in those of the Atlantic cities. He has been free to make public the most which is known regarding his work. He says that the grouping and separating of his material has been done mostly by others, who have also written fully one half of the text of what he does not hesitate to call _The Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft_; and he leaves the reader to derive a correct understanding of the case from his prefaces and illustrative tracts. Cf. J. C. Derby’s _Fifty Years among authors, books, and publishers_ (New York, 1884), p. 31.
[61] Averaging twelve from that time to this; a hundred persons were tried for every one ultimately retained as a valuable assistant,—is his own statement.
[62] At a cost, as he says, of $80,000 to 1882.
[63] They appeared in _The Nation_ and in the _New York Independent_ early in 1883. The first aimed to show that there were substantial grounds for dissent from Mr. Bancroft’s views regarding the Aztec civilization. The second ignored that point in controversy, and merely proposed, as was stated, to test the “bibliographic value” which Mr. Bancroft had claimed for his book, and to point out the failures of the index plan and the vicarious system as employed by him.
[64] Seemingly intended to make part of one of the later volumes of his series, to be called _Essays and Miscellanies_.
[65] With a general title (as following his _Native Races_) of _The History of the Pacific States_, we are to have in twenty-eight volumes the history of Central America, Mexico, North Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Northwest Coast, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, and Alaska,—to be followed by six volumes of allied subjects, not easily interwoven in the general narrative, making thirty-nine volumes for the entire work. The volumes are now appearing at the rate of three or four a year.
[66] The list which is prefixed to the first volume of the _History of California_, forming vol. xiii. of his Pacific States series, is particularly indicative of the rich stores of his library, and greatly eclipses the previous lists of Mr. A. S. Taylor, which appeared in the _Sacramento Daily Union_, June 25, 1863 and March 13, 1866. Cf. Harrisse, _Bibl. Amer. Vet._, p. xxxix. A copy of Taylor’s pioneer work, with his own corrections, is in Harvard College Library. Mr. Bancroft speaks very ungraciously of it.

Mr. Murphy died Dec. 1, 1882, aged seventy-two; and his collection, then very much enlarged, was sold in March, 1884. Its _Catalogue_, edited by Mr. John Russell Bartlett, shows one of the richest libraries of Americana which has been given to public sale in America. It is accompanied by a biographical sketch of its collector. Cf. Vol. IV. p. 22.

[70] Cf. Sabin, v. 283; Farnham’s _Private Libraries of Boston_.
[71] February, 1880, aged eighty years. His father was Robert Lenox, a Scotchman, who began business in New York in 1783, and retired in 1812 with a large fortune, including a farm of thirty acres, worth then about $6,000, and to-day $10,000,000,—if such figures can be made accurate. Cf. also Charles Deane in _Amer. Antiq. Soc. Proc._, April, 1880. Henry Stevens’s _Recoll. of Lenox_ is conspicuous for what it does not reveal.
[72] The Lenox Library is now under the direction of the distinguished American historical student, Dr. George H. Moore, so long in charge of the New York Historical Society’s library. Cf. an account of Dr. Moore by Howard Crosby in the _Historical Magazine_, vol. xvii. (January, 1870). The officer in immediate charge of the library is Dr. S. Austin Allibone, well known for his _Dictionary of Authors_.
[73] Mr. Bartlett was early in life a dealer in books in New York; and the Americana catalogues of Bartlett and Welford, forty years ago, were among the best of dealers’ lists. Jackson’s _Bibl. Géog._, no. 641.
[74] The field of Americana before 1800 has been so nearly exhausted in its composition, that recent purchases have been made in other departments, particularly of costly books on the fine arts.
[75] Cf. Vol. III. p. 380.
[76] Because Greenland in the map of the Ptolemy of this year is laid down. The slightest reference to America in books of the sixteenth century have entitled them to admission.
[77] The book purports to have been printed in one hundred copies; but not more than half that number, it is said, have been distributed. Some copies have a title reading, _Bibliographical notices of rare and curious books relating to America, printed in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in the library of the late John Carter Brown, by John Russell Bartlett_.
[78] Sir Arthur Helps, in referring to the assistance he had got from books sent to him from America, and from this library in particular, says: “As far as I have been able to judge, the American collectors of books are exceedingly liberal and courteous in the use of them, and seem really to understand what the object should be in forming a great library.” _Spanish Conquest_, American edition, p. 122.
[79] Cf. _Amer. Antiq. Soc. Proc._, October, 1875.
[80] Dr. Trumbull himself has been a keen collector of books on American history, particularly in illustration of his special study of aboriginal linguistics; while his influence has not been unfelt in the forming of the Watkinson Library, and of that of the Connecticut Historical Society, both at Hartford.
[81] The first sale—there are to be four—took place in March, 1878, and illustrated a new device in testamentary bequests. Mr. Brinley devised to certain libraries the sum of several thousand dollars each, to be used to their credit for purchases made at the public sale of his books. The result was a competition that carried the aggregate of the sales, it is computed, as much beyond the sum which might otherwise have been obtained, as was the amount devised,—thus impairing in no degree the estate for the heirs, and securing credit for public bequests. The scheme has been followed in the sale of the library (the third part of which was Americana, largely from the Menzies library) of the late J. J. Cooke, of Providence, with an equivalent appreciation of the prices of the books. It is a question if the interests of the libraries benefited are advanced by such artificial stimulation of prices, which a factitious competition helps to make permanent.

[106] The public is largely indebted to the efforts of Mr. Theodore F. Dwight, the librarian and keeper of the Archives of the Department of State at Washington, for the ultimate success of the endeavor to secure these manuscripts to the nation. Mr. Stevens had lately (1885) formed a copartnership with his son, Mr. Henry N. Stevens, and had begun a new series of Catalogues, of which No. 1 gives his own publications, and No. 2 is a bibliography of New Hampshire History. He died in London, February 28, 1886.

[108] His earliest catalogue appeared in 1842, as of his private library. Sabin’s _Bibl. of Bibl._, p. xlix. A collection announced for sale in Boston in 1845 was withdrawn after the catalogue was printed, having been sold to the Connecticut Historical Society for $4,000. At one time he amassed a large collection of American school-books to illustrate our educational history. They were bought (about four hundred in all) by the British Museum.

[110] His catalogues are spiced with annotations signed “Western Memorabilia.” Sabin (_Dictionary_, vii. 369) quotes the saying of a rival regarding Gowans’s catalogues, that their notes “were distinguished by much originality, some personality, and not a little bad grammar.” His shop and its master are drawn in F. B. Perkins’s _Scrope, or the Lost Library_. _A Novel_. Mr. Gowans died in November, 1870, at sixty-seven, leaving a stock, it is said, of 250,000 bound volumes, besides a pamphlet collection of enormous extent. Mr. W. C. Prime told the story of his life, genially, in _Harper’s Magazine_ (1872), in an article on “Old Books in New York.” Speaking of his stock, Mr. Prime says: “There were many more valuable collections in the hands of booksellers, but none so large, and probably none so wholly without arrangement.” Mr. Gowans was a Scotchman by birth, and came to America in 1821. After a varied experience on a Mississippi flat-boat, he came to New York, and in 1827 began life afresh as a bookseller’s clerk. Cf. _American Bibliopolist_, January, 1871, p. 5.

[117] With these canons Mr. Quaritch’s prices can be understood. The extent and character of his stock can be inferred from the fact that his purchases at the Perkins sale (1873) amounted to £11,000; at the Tite sale (1874), £9,500; at the Didot sales (1878-1879), £11,600; and at the Sunderland sales (1883), £32,650, out of a total of £56,851. At the recent sales of the Beckford and Hamilton collections, which produced £86,444, over one half, or £44,105, went to Mr. Quaritch. These figures enable one to understand how, in a sense, Mr. Quaritch commands the world’s market of choice books. A sketch, _B. Q., a biographical and bibliographical Fragment_ (1880, 25 copies), in the privately printed series of monographs issued to a club in London, of which Mr. Quaritch is president, called “The Sette of Odd Volumes,” has supplied the above data. The sketch is by C. W. H. Wyman, and is also reprinted in his _Bibliography of Printing_, and in the _Antiquarian Magazine and Bibliographer_, November, 1882. One of the club’s “opuscula” (no. iii.) has an excellent likeness of Mr. Quaritch prefixed. Cf. also the memoir and portrait in Bigmore and Wyman’s _Bibliography of Printing_, ii. 230.

[127] The extent of Dr. Dexter’s library is evident from the signs of possession which are so numerously scattered through the 7,250 titles that constitute the exhaustive and very careful bibliography of Congregationalism and the allied phases of religious history, which forms an appendix to his _Congregationalism as seen in its Literature_, New York, 1880. He explains in the Introduction to his volume the wide scope which he intended to give to this list; and to show how poorly off our largest public libraries in America are in the earliest books illustrating this movement, he says that of the 1,000 earliest titles which he gives, and which bear date between 1546 and 1644, he found only 208 in American libraries. His arrangement of titles is chronological, but he has a full name-index.
The students of the early English colonies cannot fail to find for certain phases of their history much help from Joseph Smith’s _Descriptive Catalogue of Friends’ Books_, London, 1867; his _Bibliotheca Anti-Quakeriana_, 1873; and his _Bibliotheca Quakeristica_, a bibliography of miscellaneous literature relating to the Friends, of which Part I. was issued in London in 1883.
[128] The private library of George Bancroft is in Washington. It is described as it existed some years ago in Wynne’s _Private Libraries of New York_.
[129] A book on the private libraries of San Francisco by Apponyi was issued in 1878.
[130] An account of the libraries of the various historical societies in the United States is given in the _Public Libraries of the United States_, issued by the Bureau of Education at Washington in 1876.
[131] The title is quoted differently by different authorities. Harrisse, _Bibl. Amer. Vet._, no. 32, and _Additions_, no. 16; his _Christophe Colomb_, i. 89; Humboldt, _Examen critique_, iv. 67; Sabin, _Dictionary of Books relating to America_, x. 327; D’Avezac, _Waltzemüller_, p. 79; Varnhagen, _Nouvelles Recherches_, p. 17; Irving’s _Columbus_, app. ix.
[132] See Vol. IV. p. 12. The editorship is in dispute,—whether Zorzi or Montalboddo. The better opinion seems to be that Humboldt erred in assigning it to Zorzi rather than to Montalboddo. Cf. Humboldt, _Examen critique_; Brunet, v. 1155, 1158; Sabin, _Dictionary_, vol. xii. no. 50,050; D’Avezac, _Waltzemüller_, p. 80; Graesse, _Trésor_; Harrisse, _Bibl. Amer. Vet._, nos. 48, 109, app. p. 469, and _Additions_, no. 26; _Bulletin de la Société de Géographie_, October, 1857, p. 312; Santarem’s _Vespucius_, Eng. tr., p. 73; Irving’s _Columbus_, app. xxx.; Navarrete, _Opúsculos_, i. 101; Harrisse, _Christophe Colomb_, i. 89. There are copies of this 1507 edition in the Lenox and Carter-Brown libraries, and in the Grenville Library; and one in the Beckford sale, 1882 (no. 186), brought £270. Cf. also _Murphy Catalogue_, no. 2,612[A], and _Catalogue de la précicuse bibliothèque de feu M. le Docteur F. Court_ (Paris, 1884), no. 262. The _Paesi novamente retrovati_ is shown in the chapter on the Cortereals in Vol. IV. to be of importance in elucidating the somewhat obscure story of that portion of the early Portuguese discoveries in North America. Since Vol. IV. was printed, two important contributions to this study have been made. One is the monograph of Henry Harrisse, _Les Cortereal et leur voyages au Nouveau-monde. D’après des documents nouveaux ou peu connus tirés des archives de Lisbonne et de Modène. Suivi du texte inédit d’un recit de la troisième expédition de Gasper Cortereal et d’une carte nautique portugaise de 1502 reproduite ici pour la première jois. Mémoire lu à l’Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres dans sa séance du 1er juin, 1883_, and published in Paris in 1883, as Vol. III. of the _Recueil de voyages et de documents pour servir à l’histoire de la géographie depuis le XIIIe jusqu’à la fin du XVIe siècle_. The other is the excerpt from the _Archivo des Açores_, which was drawn from that work by the editor, Ernesto do Canto, and printed separately at Ponta Delgarda (S. Miguel) in an edition of one hundred copies, under the title of _Os Corte-Reaes, memoria historica accompanhada de muitos documentos ineditos_. Do Canto refers (p. 34) to other monographs on the Portuguese discoveries in America as follows: Sebastião Francisco Mendo Trigoso,—_Ensaio sobre os Descobrimentos e Commercio dos Portuguezes em as Terras Septentrionaes da America_, presented to the Lisbon Academy (1813), and published in their _Memorias da Litteratura_, viii. 305. Joaquim José Gonçalves de Mattos Corrêa,—_Acerca da prioridade das Descobertas feitas pelos portuguezes nas costas orientaes da America do norte_, which was printed in _Annaes maritimos e Coloniaes_, Lisbon, 1841, pp. 269-423. Luciano Cordeiro,—_De la part prise par les Portugais dans le découverte de l’Amerique_, Lisbon, 1876. This was a communication made to the Congrès des Américanistes in 1875. Cf. Vol. IV. p. 15.

There are copies in the Lenox, Carter-Brown, Harvard College, and Cincinnati Public libraries. The Beckford copy brought, in 1882, £78. Quaritch offered a copy in 1883 for £45. At the Potier sale, in 1870 (no. 1,791), a copy brought 2,015 francs; the same had brought 389 francs in 1844 at the Nodier sale. _Livres payés en vente publique 1,000 francs et au dessus_, 1877, p. 77. Cf. also Court, no. 263.

[139] _Nye unbekande Lande_ (1508), in Platt-Deutsch, by Henning Ghetel, of Lubeck, following the German. Sabin, vol. xii. no. 50,057; Harrisse, _Additions_, no. 29. The Carter-Brown copy (_Catalogue_, vol. i. no. 37) cost about 1,000 marks at the Sobolewski (no. 4,070) sale, when it was described as an “édition absolument inconnu jusqu’au présent.” Mr. C. H. Kalbfleisch has since secured a copy at 3,000 marks,—probably the copy advertised “as the second copy known,” by Albert Cohn, of Berlin, in 1881, in his _Katalog_, vol. cxxxix. no. 27. Cf. _Studi biografici e bibliografici della Società Italiana_, i. 219.

There are copies in the Lenox, Barlow, Harvard College, Carter-Brown (_Catalogue_, vol. i. no. 35), and Congressional libraries. The Beckford copy (no. 1,081) brought £78. Sabin quotes Bolton Corney’s copy at £137. Copies have been recently priced at £30, £36, and £45. A copy noted in the _Court Catalogue_ (no. 177) differs from Harrisse’s collation.
[141] _Sensuyt le nouveau mōde_, supposed to be 1515; some copies vary in text. The Lenox Library has two varieties. Cf. Sabin, vol. xii. nos. 50,059, 50,061; Harrisse, no. 83, and _Additions_, no. 46; D’Avezac, _Waltzemüller_, p. 84. An edition of 1516 (_Le nouveau monde_) is in the Carter-Brown and Lenox libraries (Sabin, vol. xii. no. 50,062; Court, no. 248; Harrisse, no. 86; Sobolewski, no. 4,129). One placed in 1521 (_Sensuyt le nouveau mōde_) is in Harvard College Library (Harrisse, no. 111; Sabin, vol. xii. no. 50,063). Another (_Sensuyt le nouveau monde_) is placed under 1528 (Sabin, vol. xii. no. 50,064; Harrisse, no. 146, and _Additions_, no. 87).

[143] See also the reference in Joannes Tritemius’ _De scriptoribus ecclesiasticis_ (Cologne, 1546), pp. 481-482. There have been within a few years two monographs upon Martyr:(1) Hermann A. Schumacher’s _Petrus Martyr, der Geschichtsschreiber des Weltmeeres_ (New York, 1879); (2) Dr. Heinrich Heidenheimer’s _Petrus Martyr Anglerius und sein Opus epistolarum_ (Berlin, 1881).

This tract was reprinted in the _Novus orbis_ (Basle, 1532), and was appended to the Antwerp edition (1536) of Brocard’s _Descriptio terræ sanctæ_ (Harrisse, _Bibl. Amer. Vet._, no. 218; Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 117). It is also in the _Novus orbis_ of Rotterdam, 1596 (Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 505).
[152] There are copies in the Harvard College, Lenox, and Carter-Brown libraries. It is very rare; a fair copy was priced in London, in 1881, at £62. Cf. Brunet, i. 293; _Carter-Brown Catalogue_, vol. i. no. 94; Sabin, i. 198; Harrisse, _Bibl. Amer. Vet._, no. 154; Murphy, no. 1,607; Court, no. 14.
[153] The book is very rare. There is a copy in Harvard College Library. A copy was priced in London at £36; but Quaritch holds the Beckford copy (no. 2,275), in fine binding, at £148. Harrisse (_Bill. Amer. Vet._, no. 167) errs in his description. Cf. Brunet, i. 294; Sobolewski, no. 3,667; Sabin, i. 199; Huth, p. 920; Stevens, _Historical Collections_, i. 48; Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 99; Murphy, no. 3,002; Court, no. 124.
[154] Richard Eden’s copy of this book, with his annotations, apparently used in making his translation of 1555, was sold in the Brinley sale, no. 40, having been earlier in the Judge Davis sale in 1847 (no. 1,352). The first of the Stevens copies, in his sale of 1870 (nos. 75, 1,234), is now in Mr. Deane’s library. There are also copies in the Force (Library of Congress), Carter-Brown (_Catalogue_, vol. i. no. 104), and Ticknor (_Catalogue_, p. 14) collections, and in Harvard College Library. Cf. Sabin, i.; Stevens’s _Nuggets_, £1 11_s._ 6_d._; Ternaux, no. 47; Harrisse, _Bibl. Amer.

Priced in Germany at 60 and 100 marks.
[155] Ramusio’s name does not appear, but D’Avezac thinks his editorship is probable; cf. _Bulletin de la Société de Géographie_ (1872), p. 11. There are copies in Harvard College, Carter-Brown, J. C. Brevoort, H. C. Murphy, and Lenox libraries. For an account of a map said to belong to it, see Winsor’s _Bibliography of Ptolemy_, sub anno 1540. Cf. _Bibl. Amer.

[160] The book is rare; the copy in the Menzies sale (no. 1,332) brought $42.50. Cf. further in Vol. III. p. 204; also Cooke, no. 1,642.
[161] It has three decades and three books of the “De Babylonica legatione.” There are copies in Harvard College and the Carter-Brown libraries. Cf. Rich (1832), no. 52; _Nuggets_, £1 10_s._ 6_d._; Sabin, i. 201; Muller, (1877), no. 2,031; Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 295; Leclerc, no. 26 (80 francs); Harrassowitz, 35 marks; Quaritch, £1 5s. and £1 16s.; Sunderland, vol. iv. no. 8,178; O’Callaghan, no. 1,479; Cooke, no. 1,641; Court, no. 16; Murphy, no. 1,611.

[163] The Sunderland copy (vol. iv. no. 8,179), with the map, brought £24; a French catalogue advertised one with the map for 250 francs. Without the map it is worth about $25. See further in Vol. III. p. 42; also Murphy, no. 1,612; Cooke, no. 1,643; Court, no. 17. Hakluyt’s text was used by Lok in making an English version (he adopted, however, Eden’s text of the first three decades), which was printed as _De Novo Orbe; or, the Historie of the West Indies_. Bibliographers differ about the editions. One without date is held by some to have been printed in 1597 (White-Kennett; Field, _Indian Bibliography_, no. 1,013; Menzies, no. 1,333, $35; Huth, p. 923); but others consider it the sheets of the 1612 edition with a new title (see Vol. III. p. 47, Field, no. 1,014; Stevens, 1870, no. 1,236; Harrisse, _Notes on Columbus_, p. 10; O’Callaghan, no. 1,481; Murphy, no. 1,612*; Carter-Brown, vol. i. nos. 129, 130). There are copies of this 1612 edition in the Boston Athenæum, Harvard College, Carter-Brown, and Massachusetts Historical Society libraries; it is worth from $30 to $40. Mr. Deane’s edition of 1612 has a dedication to Julius Cæsar, the English jurist of that day, which is not in the edition without date. See Vol. III. p. 47. The same was reissued as a “second edition,” with a title dated 1628, of which there is a copy in Harvard College Library (Field, no. 1,015; Stevens, _Nuggets_, £4 14_s._ 6_d._; Menzies, no. 1,334; Griswold, no. 475; Quaritch, £9 and £12).

[165] Sabin, i. 200. Copy in Harvard College Library; it was printed at the Elzevir Press (Harrisse, _Notes on Columbus_, p. 11; Carter-Brown, vol. ii. no. 1,036; Sunderland, vol. iv. no. 8,175).
[166] Prescott’s copy is in Harvard College Library (_Ferdinand and Isabella_, 1873, ii. 76).
[167] Cf. Arana, _Bibliog. de obras anon._ (1882), no. 373.
[168] There are copies of this Basle edition in the Boston Public, Harvard College, Carter-Brown, Lenox, Astor, and Barlow libraries. Münster’s map, of which an account is given elsewhere, is often wanting; the price for a copy with the map has risen from a guinea in Rich’s day (1832), to £5. Cf. Harrisse, no. 171; Leclerc, no. 411; Muller (1877), no. 1,301; Ternaux, no. 38; Sabin, vol. ix. no. 34,100; Court, no. 249.

Good copies are worth about £10.
[169] Sabin (vol. ix. p. 30) says it is rarer than the original Latin. There are copies in Harvard College, Congressional, and Carter-Brown libraries. Cf. Rich (1832), £1 1_s._; Ternaux, no. 45; Sabin, vol. ix. no. 34,106; Grenville, p. 498; Harrisse, no. 188, with references; Stevens (1870), no. 1,419; Muller (1872), no. 1,853, and (1877) no. 1,309 (40 florins), with corrections of Harrisse; Sobolewski, no. 3,857; Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 110; Huth, vol. iii. nos. 1,050-1,051. Quaritch and others of late price it at £3. It was from this German edition of the _Novus orbis_ that the collection, often quoted as that of Cornelis Albyn, and called _Nieuwe Weerelt_, was made up in 1563, with some additional matter. It is in the dialect of Brabant, and Muller (_Books on America_, 1872, no. 1,854) says it is “exceedingly rare, even in Holland;” he prices it at 50 florins. Cf. Leclerc, no. 2,579 (250 francs); Sabin, vol. ix. no. 34,107; Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 240; Huth, vol. iii. no. 1,051; A. R. Smith’s Catalogue (1874), no. 8 (£2 2_s._); Pinart, no. 668.
[170] It has pp. 585-600 in addition to the edition of 1532. There are copies in the Cornell University (_Sparks Catalogue_, no. 1,107), Lenox, Carter-Brown, Barlow, J. C. Brevoort, and American Antiquarian Society libraries. One of the two copies in Harvard College Library belonged at different times to Charles Sumner, E. A. Crowninshield (no. 796), and the poet Thomas Gray, and has Gray’s annotations, and a record that it cost him one shilling and ninepence. The map of the 1532 Basle edition belongs to this 1537 edition; but it is often wanting. The _Huth Catalogue_ (vol. iii. p. 1050) calls the map of “extreme rarity;” and Quaritch has pointed out that the larger names in the map being set in type in the block, there is some variation in the style of these inscriptions belonging to the different issues. Cf. Sabin, vol. ix. no. 34,103; Harrisse, no. 223; Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 123; Leclerc, no. 413, with map (100 francs); Stevens (_Nuggets_) does not mention the map, but his _Bibliotheca historica_ (1870), no. 1,455, and _Historical Collections_, p. 66, give it; Muller (1872), no. 1,850 and (1877) no. 1,306. Recent prices of good copies with the map are quoted at £4 4_s._, 57 marks, and 70 francs; without the map it brings about $4.00. Grolier’s copy was in the Beckford sale (1882), no. 187.
[171] There are copies in the Boston Public (two copies), Boston Athenæum, Harvard College, Carter-Brown (no. 202), and American Antiquarian Society libraries. The map is repeated from the earlier Basle editions. Cf. _Brinley Catalogue_, no. 50; _Huth Catalogue_ (without map), iii. 1,050; Harrisse, no. 171; Stevens, _Historical Collection_, vol. i. no. 501; Cooke, no. 1,064; Sabin, vol. ix. no. 34,104. Rich, in 1832, priced it with map at £2 2_s._; recent prices are £4 4_s._ and £5 5_s._
[172] Edited by Balthazar Lydius. Cf. Carter-Brown, vol. ii. no. 182; Graesse, iv. 699; Brunet, iv. 132; Sabin, vol. ix. no. 34,105; Huth, iii. 1051; Leclerc, no. 414 (40 francs); Stevens, _Nuggets_, £2 2_s._; Court, no. 251; Muller (1872), no. 1,870. There are copies in Harvard College Library and Boston Athenæum.
[173] The editions of Ptolemy recording or affecting the progress of geography in respect to the New World are noted severally elsewhere in the present work; but the whole series is viewed together in the _Bibliography of Ptolemy’s Geography_, by Justin Winsor, which, after appearing serially in the _Harvard University Bulletin_, was issued separately by the University Library in 1884 as no. 18 of its _Bibliographical Contributions_.
[174] H. H. Bancroft, _Mexico_, i. 258. Harrisse (_Bibl. Amer. Vet._, no. 237) gives the date 1541 as apparently the first edition. His authority is the _Labanoff Catalogue_; but the date therein is probably an error (Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,384). The _Athenæ Rauricæ_ cites a Latin edition of 1543,—it is supposed without warrant, though it is also mentioned in Poggendorff’s _Biog.-liter. Handwörterbuch_, ii. 234.
[175] Harrisse (_Bibl. Amer. Vet._, no. 258), describing a copy in the Lenox Library. The map of America in this edition is given by Santarem, and much reduced in Lelewel. There are twenty-four maps in it in all (Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,385).
[176] Also published at Basle (Harrisse, _Bibl. Amer. Vet., Additions_, no. 152; Weigel, 1877, _Catalogue_; Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,386). It has twenty-eight maps. There is a copy in the Royal Library at Munich.
[177] The third and later German editions were as follows: 1546. According to the _Athenæ Rauricæ_.—1550. Basle, 1,233 pages, woodcuts, with views of towns added for the first time, and fourteen folios of maps. Harrisse (no. 294) quotes the description in Ebert’s _Dictionary_, no. 14,500. Cf. Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,387; Leclerc, no. 396; Rosenthal (Munich, 1884), no. 52, at 80 marks. Harrisse (_Additions_, no. 179) says the Royal Library at Munich has three different German editions of 1550.—1553. Basle. Muller (_Books on America_, 1872, no. 1,020; 1877, no. 2,203) cites a copy, with twenty-six maps; also Sabin (vol. xii. no. 51,388).—1556. Cited by Sabin, vol. xii. no. 53,389.—1561. Basle. Cf. Rosenthal, _Catalogue_ (1884), no. 53.—1564. Basle. Cf. Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,390; _Carter-Brown Catalogue_, i. 598. It has fourteen maps, the last being of the New World.—1569, 1574, 1578. Basle. All are cited by Ebert and Harrisse, who give them twenty-six maps, and say that the cuts are poor impressions.—1574, 1578, 1588. Undated; but cited by Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,391-51,393.—1592, 1598. In these editions the twenty-six maps and the woodcuts are engraved after new drawings. That of 1592 is in the Boston Athenæum; that of 1598 is in Harvard College Library. The likeness of Münster on the title is inscribed: “Seins alters lx jar.” America is shown in the general mappemonde, and in map no. xxvi., “Die Newe Welt.” Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,394-51,395.—1614, 1628. These Basle editions reproduced the engravings of the 1592 and 1598 editions, and are considered the completest issues of the German text. They are worth from 30 to 40 marks each. Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,396.
[178] The _Athenæ Rauricæ_ gives a Latin edition of 1545.
[179] This 1550 Latin edition has fourteen maps, and copies are worth from $12 to $15. Cf. _Bibl. Amer. Vet._, no. 300; _Huth Catalogue_, iii. 1,009; Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,379; Strutt, _Dictionary of Engravers_.
[180] The title of the 1554 edition as shown in the copy in the Boston Public Library reads as follows: _Cosmo | graphiae | uniuersalis Lib. VI. in | quibus iuxta certioris fidei scriptorum | traditionem describuntur, | Omnium habitabilis orbis partium situs, pro- | priæq’ dotes. | Regionum Topographicæ effigies. | Terræ ingenia, quibus sit ut tam differentes & ua | rias specie res, & animatas, & inanimatas, ferat. | Animalium peregrinorum naturæ & picturæ. | Nobiliorum ciuitatum icones & descriptiones. | Regnorum initia, incrementa & translationes. | Regum & principum genealogiæ. | Item omnium gentium mores, leges, religio, mu- | tationes: atq’ memorabilium in hunc usque an- | num 1554. gestarum rerum Historia. | Autore Sebast. Munstero._ The same edition is in the Harvard College Library; but the title varies, and reads thus: _Cosmo | graphiæ | uniuersalis Lib. VI. in | quibus, iuxta certioris fidei scriptorum | traditionem describuntur, | Omniū habitabilis orbis partiū situs, propriæq’ dotes. | Regionum Topographicæ effigies. | Terræ ingenia, quibus sit ut tam differentes & uarias | specie res, & animatas & inanimatas, ferat. | Animalium peregrinorum naturæ & picturæ.

Munstero. | The colophon in both reads: | Basileæ Apud Henrichum Petri, | Mense Septemb. Anno Sa | lvtis M.D.LIIII._ | This copy belonged to Dr. Mather Byles, and has his autograph; the title is mounted, and may have belonged to some other one of the several “title-editions” which appeared about this time. Cf. _Harvard University Bulletin_, ii. 285; _Carter-Brown_, vol. i. no. 194; Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,380-51,381. The account of America is on pages 1,099-1,113. These editions have been bought of late years for about $4; but Rosenthal (Munich, 1884) prices a copy of 1552 at 130 marks, and one of 1554 at 150 marks.
[181] Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,382; Muller, _Books on America_ (1872), p. 11.
[182] Some copies have nineteen maps, others twenty-two in all. Cf. Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 291; Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,383. Some passages displeasing to the Catholics are said to have been omitted in this edition. It is worth about $12 or $15.
[183] _Supplément_, col. 1,129; Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,397.
[184] That of Basle, 1556, has on pp. 1,353-1,374, “Des nouvelles ilsles: comment, quand et par qui elles ont esté trouvées,” with a map and fourteen woodcuts. It is usually priced at about $20; the copies are commonly worn (Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,398). The same publisher, Henry Pierre, reissued it (without date) in 1568, with twelve folding woodcut maps, the first of which pertains to America (Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 271; Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,399). In 1575 a new French edition, with the cuts reduced, was issued in three volumes, folio, edited by Belleforest and others; it gives 101 pages to America. Cf. Brunet, col. 1,945; _Supplément_, col. 1,129; Stevens (1870), p. 121; Sunderland, no. 8,722 (£18 10_s._); Porquet (1884), no. 1,673, (150 francs); Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,400.

[188] _Terzo volume delle navigationi et viaggi_, etc., Venice, 1556. His name is, Latinized, Ramusius.
[189] Harrisse, _Notes on Columbus_, p. 46. A list of the Contents is given in the _Carter-Brown Catalogue_ (vol. i. p. 181), and in Leclerc (no. 484), where a set (1554, 1583, 1565) is priced at 250 francs. Of interest in connection with the present History, there are in the first volume of Ramusio the voyages of Da Gama, Vespucius, and Magellan, as well as matter of interest in connection with Cabot (see Vol. III. p. 24); in the second volume (1559), the travels of Marco Polo, the voyage of the Zeni and of Cabot. The first edition of the first volume was published in 1550; Ramusio’s name does not appear. A second edition came out in 1554. Cf. _Murphy Catalogue_, nos. 2,096-2,098; Cooke, no. 2,117.
[190] Born in 1485-1486; died in 1557. There is an alleged portrait of Ramusio in the new edition of _Il viaggio di Giovan Leone_, etc. (Venice, 1857), the only volume of it published. The portrait of him by Paul Veronese in the hall of the Great Council was burned in 1557; and Cicogna (_Biblioteca Veneziana_, ii. 310) says that the likeness now in the Sala dello Scudo is imaginary.
[191] Cf. also Camus, _Mémoire sur De Bry_, p. 8; Humboldt, _Examen critique_; Hallam, _Literature of Europe_; Harrisse, _Bibl. Amer.

Bancroft, _Mexico_, i. 282. Ternaux mentions a second edition in 1564; but Harrisse could find no evidence of it (_Bibl. Amer. Vet._, p. xxxiii). There was a well-known second edition of the third volume in 1565 (differing in title only from the 1556 edition), which, with a first volume of 1588 and a second volume of 1583, is thought to make up the most desirable copy; though there are some qualifications in the case, since the 1606 edition of the third volume is really more complete.

[198] A complete reprint of all of Hakluyt’s publications, in fourteen or fifteen volumes, is announced (1884) by E. and G. Goldsmid, of Edinburgh.
[199] The title, however, as given in catalogues generally, runs: _Collectiones peregrinationum in Indiam orientalem et Indiam occidentalem, XXV partibus comprehensæ a Theodoro, Joan-Theodoro De Bry, et a Matheo Merian publicatæ. Francofurti ad Mænum_, 1590-1634.
[200] This part is of extreme rarity, and Dibdin says that Lord Oxford bought the copy in the Grenville Library in 1740 for £140. Cf. Vol. III.
[201] The earliest description of a set of De Bry of any bibliographical moment is that of the Abbé de Rothelin, _Observations et détails sur la collection des voyages_, etc. (Paris, 1742), pp. 44 (Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 473), which is reprinted in Lenglet du Fresnoy’s _Méthode pour étudier la géographie_ (1768), i. 324. Gabriel Martin, in his catalogue of the library of M. Cisternay du Fay, had somewhat earlier announced that collector’s triumph in calling a set in his catalogue (no. 2,825) “exemplum omni genere perfectum,” when his copy brought 450 francs. The Abbé de Rothelin aimed to exceed Cisternay du Fay, and did in the varieties which he brought together. The next description was that of De Bure in his _Bibliographie instructive_ (vol. i. p. 67), printed 1763-1768; but the German editions were overlooked by De Bure, as they had been by his predecessors. The _Carter-Brown Catalogue_ (vol. i. no. 473) shows Sobolewski’s copy of De Bure with manuscript notes. A lifetime later, in 1802, A. G. Camus printed at Paris his _Mémoire sur les grands et petits voyages_ [de De Bry] _et les voyages de Thevenot_. As a careful and critical piece of work, this collation of Camus was superior to De Bure’s. A description of a copy belonging to the Duke of Bedford was printed in Paris in 1836 (6 pp.). Weigel, in the _Serapeum_ (1845), pp. 65-89, printed his “Bibliographische Mittheilungen über die deutschen Ausgaben von De Bry,” which was also printed separately. It described a copy now owned in New York. Muller, in his _Catalogue_ (1872), p. 217, indicates some differences from Weigel’s collations. The copy formed by De Bure fell into Mr. Grenville’s hands, and was largely improved by him before he left it, with his library, to the British Museum. The _Bibliotheca Grenvilliana_ describes it, and Bartlett (_Carter-Brown Catalogue_, i. 321) thinks it the finest in Europe. Cf. Dibdin’s description, which is copied in the _American Bibliopolist_ (1872), p. 13. The standard collation at present is probably that of Brunet, in his _Manuel du libraire_, vol. i. (1860), which was also printed separately; in this he follows Weigel for the German texts. This account is followed by Sabin in his _Dictionary_ (vol. iii. p. 20), whose article, prepared by Charles A. Cutter, of the Boston Athenæum, has also been printed separately. The Brunet account is accompanied by a valuable note (also in Sabin, iii. 59), by Sobolewski, whose best set (reaching one hundred and seventy parts) was a wonderful one, though he lacked the English Hariot. This set came to this country through Muller (cf. his _Catalogue_, 1875, p. 387), and is now in the Lenox Library. Sobolewski’s second set went into the Field Collection, and was sold in 1875; and again in the J. J. Cooke sale (_Catalogue_, iii. 297) in 1883. Cf. _Catalogue de la collection de feu M. Serge Sobolewski de Moscou_, prepared by Albert Cohn. The sale took place in Leipsic in July, 1873. Brunet and Sobolewski both point out the great difficulties of a satisfactory collation, arising from the publisher’s habit of mixing the sheets of the various editions, forming varieties almost beyond the acquisition of the most enthusiastic collector, “so that,” says Brunet, “perhaps no two copies of this work are exactly alike.” “No man ever yet,” says Henry Stevens (_Historical Collections_, vol. i. no. 179), “made up his De Bry perfect, if one may count on the three great De Bry witnesses,—the Right Honorable Thomas Grenville, the Russian prince Sobolewski, and the American Mr. Lenox,—who all went far beyond De Bure, yet fell far short of attaining all the variations they had heard of.” The collector will value various other collations now accessible, like that in the _Carter-Brown Catalogue_, vol. i. no. 396 (also printed separately, twenty-five copies, in 1875); that printed by Quaritch, confined to the German texts; that in the _Huth Catalogue_, ii. 404; and that in the _Sunderland Catalogue_, nos. 2,052, 2,053.
[202] There are lists of the sets which have been sold since 1709 given in Sabin (vol. iii. p. 47), from Brunet, and in the _Carter-Brown Catalogue_ (vol. i. p. 408). The Rothelin copy, then esteemed the best known, brought, in 1746, 750 francs. At a later day, with additions secured under better knowledge, it again changed hands at 2,551 francs, and once more, in 1855 (described in the _Bulletin du bibliophile_, 1855, pp. 38-41), Mr. Lenox bought it for 12,000 francs; and in 1873 Mr. Lenox also bought the best Sobolewski copy (fifty-five volumes) for 5,050 thalers. With these and other parts, procured elsewhere, this library is supposed to lead all others in the facilities for a De Bry bibliography. Fair copies of the _Grands voyages_ in Latin, in first or second editions, are usually sold for about £100, and for both voyages for £150, and sometimes £200. Muller, in 1872, held the fourteen parts, in German, of the _Grands voyages_, at 1,000 florins. Fragmentary sets are frequently in the Catalogues, but bring proportionately much less prices. In unusually full sets the appreciation of value is rapid with every additional part. Most large American libraries have sets of more or less completeness. Besides those in the Carter-Brown (which took thirty years to make, besides a duplicate set from the Sobolewski sale) and Lenox libraries, there are others in the Boston Public, Harvard College, Astor, and Long Island Historical Society libraries,—all of fair proportions, and not unfrequently in duplicate and complemental sets. The copy of the Great Voyages, in Latin (all first editions), in the Murphy Library (_Catalogue_, no. 379), was gathered for Mr. Murphy by Obadiah Rich. The Murphy Library also contained the German text in first editions. In 1884 Quaritch offered the fine set from the Hamilton Library (twenty-five parts), “presumed to be quite perfect,” for £670. The Earl of Crawford and Balcarres is about publishing his bibliography of De Bry.
[203] There are somewhat diverse views on this point expressed by Brunet and in the Grenville Catalogue.
[204] Reference has been made elsewhere (Vol. III. pp. 123, 164) to sketches, now preserved as a part of the Grenville copy of De Bry in the British Museum, which seem to have been the originals from which De Bry engraved the pictures in Hariot’s _Virginia_, etc. These were drawn by Wyth, or White. A collection of twenty-four plates of such, from De Bry, were published in New York in 1841 (_Field’s Indian Bibliography_, no. 1,701). Cf. _Amer. Antiq. Soc. Proc._, Oct. 20, 1866, for other of De Bry’s drawings in the British Museum. De Bry’s engravings have been since copied by Picard in his _Cérémonies et coutumes religieuses des peuples idolatres_ (Amsterdam, 1723), and by others. Exception is taken to the fidelity of De Bry’s engravings in the parts on Columbus; cf. Navarrete, French translation, i. 320.

[217] This collection also includes the voyages of Barentz, and of Hudson, as well as several through Magellan’s Straits, with Madriga’s voyage to Peru and Chili.
[218] The collection, as it is known, is sometimes dated 1644 and 1645, but usually 1646 (Muller, 1872, no. 1,871; Tiele, _Mémoire bibliographique_, p. 9; Carter-Brown, vol. ii. nos. 567, 586; Sabin, iv. 315, 316). A partial English translation appeared in London in 1703 (Muller, 1872, no. 1,886). The _Oost-Indische Voyagien_, issued at Amsterdam in 1648 by Joost Hartgers, is a reprint of part of Commelin, with some additions. Only one volume was printed; but Muller thinks (1872 _Catalogue_, no. 1877) that some separate issues (1649-1651), including Vries’s voyage to Virginia and New Netherland, were intended to make part of a second volume.

Another Dutch publication, deserving of a passing notice, which, though not a collection of voyages, enlarges upon the heroes of such voyages, is the _Leeven en Daden der doorluchtigste Zee-helden_ (Amsterdam, 1676), by Lambert van den Bos, which gives accounts of Columbus, Vespucius, Magellan, Drake, Cavendish, the Zeni, Cabot, Cortereal, Frobisher, and Davis. There was a German translation at Nuremberg in 1681 (Carter-Brown, vol. ii. no. 1,149; Stevens, 1870, no. 231).
[222] Carter-Brown, vol. ii. no. 1,111. A second edition was printed by the widow Cellier in Paris in 1683 (Muller, 1875, p. 395), containing the same matter differently arranged.
[223] An earlier edition (1667) did not have them (Muller, 1875, p. 394). Capel’s _Vorstellungen des Norden_ (Hamburg, 1676) summarizes the voyages of the Zeni, Hudson, and others to the Arctic regions.

The most important contribution in English on this subject, however, is in Dr. James Burney’s _Chronological History of Discovery in the South Sea_ (1803-1817), five volumes quarto.

[258] A Spanish translation of the modern voyages by Urrabieta was published in Paris in 1860-1861. The Spanish _Enciclopedia de viajes modernos_ (Madrid, 1859), five volumes, edited by Fernandez Cuesta, refers to the later periods (H. H. Bancroft, _Central America_, ii. 758).
[259] The plane earth cut the cosmic sphere like a diaphragm, shutting the light from Tartarus.
_ἀυτὰρ ὕπερθεν_ _γῆς ῥίζαι πεφύασι καὶ ἀτρυγέτοιο θαλάσσης._ (Hesiod, _Theog._ 727.)
“and above Impend the roots of earth and barren sea.”
(_The remains of Hesiod the Ascræan_, etc., translated by C. A. Elton, 2d ed. London, 1815.)
Critics differ as to the age of the vivid description of Tartarus in the Theogony.
[260] Pythagoras has left no writings; Aristotle speaks only of his school; Diogenes Laertius in one passage (_Vitae_, viii. 1 (Pythag.), 25) quotes an authority to the effect that Pythagoras asserted the earth to be spherical and inhabited all over, so that there were antipodes, to whom that is _over_ which to us is _under_. As all his disciples agreed on the spherical form of the earth while differing as to its position and motion, it is probable that they took the idea of its form from him. Diogenes Laertius states that Parmenides called the earth round (_στρογγύλη_, viii. 48), and also that he spoke of it as spherical (_σφαιροειδῆ_, ix. 3); the passages are not, as has been sometimes assumed, contradictory. The enunciation of the doctrine is often attributed to Thales and to Anaximander, on the authority of Plutarch, _De placitis philosophorum_, iii. 10, and Diogenes Laertius,
