A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This bibliography is the second of a series of authorsâ catalogues, each relating to one of the more prominent linguistic stocks of North A merica, which it is proposed to issue under the direction of the Bureau of Ethnology. Like its predecessor, upon the Eskimo language, published early in the present year, and its successor, upon tle I roquois, now in an advanced state of preparation, it has been compiled mainly from the writerâs Proof-S heets of a Bibliography of the Languages of the North American I ndians, a quarto volume of nearly 1,200 pages, of which a small number of copies were printeo. in 1885 and distributed to collaborators. It was the intention to publish that volume in due time, with such emendatious, corrections, md insertions as might present themselves after examination by th use interested in the subject; but of late it has for many reasons been deemed more desirable to publish the material in separate parts, each relating, as stated above, to one of the more prominent linguistic stocks of North A merica. As stated in the Proof-S heets and in the Eskimo Bibliography, the material for these catalogues has been gathered during personal visits to the more prominent public and private libraries of this country, Canada, England, and France and by correspomlence with missionaries, Indian agents, publishers and printers of Indian books, and owners of A mericana. No opportunity has been lost to title and describe books at first hand, and in the present instance it has been ibund necessary to mark with an asterisk but a very small percentage of titles, whether of manuscripts, of articles in serial journals, or of books.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
