Andrews (William), Barclay (Henry), and Ogilvie (John)-continued. "The edition consisting of a small number were soon delivered out to the Indians, except a few which were, with the late Sir Wm. Johnson's Library, seized and made away with by the rebels, in 1776.”—Advertisement to Quebec edition of 1780. Pages 1-74 (sigs. A to I) were printed by Weyman, 1763-68; the remainder by Hugh Gaine, who finished his work in December, 1768.-Trumbull.

118 Angel (P. Fr.) Arte de lengua Cakchiquel, compuesto por el Padre fray Angel.

Manuscript 94 11. 4°. In writing which appears to belong to the end of the 18th century. This work bears no author's name. See the notice which accompanies the following.-Brasseur de Bourbourg.

Vocabulario de la lengua Cakchiquel, compuesto por el Padre

fray Angel.

Manuscript 225 11., 4°, in the same hand as the preceding. This work, like the above, is without the author's name; only we find at the end this note: "El P. Fr. Angel suplica à los que lean este vocabulario borren aquellas palabras que puden Causar ruina espiritual y el uso las impime en la memoria."

Although this note is not in the same writing as the vocabulary, it is presumable the work is by him. It is important to observe in this connection that a large number of manuscripts composed by the monks of different orders in Mexico, or in Central America, are rarely written in their own hand: most of them dictated their works to young native disciples. This explains the strange mistakes we often find in their orthography.-Brasseur de Bourbourg.

120 Angulo (Illmo. D. Fr. Pedro). Treatises in the Zacapula Language. * In order that the neophytes should become fond of learning and imbued with Christian doctrine the following treatises were composed in the Zacapula language: De la creacion del Mundo.-De la caida de Adan.-Del destierro de los primeros Pares.-Del Decreto de la Redencion.-Vida, milagros y pasion de Jesucristo.— De la Resurreccion y Ascencion del Salvador.-Del Juicio final.-De la Gloria y del Infierno.-Beristain.

121 Anléo (Fr. Bartolomé). Arte de Lengua Quiché.

"Manuscript; copy in Bib. Imp. of Paris; another in possession of the author of this Monograph." Title and note from Squier, who in his Monograph of Authors makes the following announcement:

"Arte de Lengua Juiché, 6 Utlateca; Compuesto por N. M. R. P. Fray Bartolomé Anléo, Religioso Menor de N. S. Pe. San Francisco. Edited, With an Essay on the Quichés, By E. G. Squier, M. A., F. S. A., etc.

"This important grammar, composed about 1660, and copied in the year 1744 from the original in the possession of the Fray Antonio M. Betancur, by the Fray Antonio Raminez Utrilla, has never been published. It is now in press, and wil be issued to subscribers on the 1st of October next."

I have seen no notice of the publication of this work, and presume it has not been issued.

Description from his Apuntes, No. 5, where title is also given, which is followed by Cathecismo, etc., by the same author, q. v. Brasseur de Bourbourg describes the above work in his Bib. Mex. Guat., from a defective copy.

"The Author, a native of Granada in Andalucia, took the habit of an Augustinian in Mexico, devoted himself to the conversion of the Indians, became governor of the Convents in Puebla de los Angeles, and died in 1594, aged 80 years. There is a particular Memoir of him and his works in Grijalva's Chronicle.-Ramirez Sale Cat.

Pp. 1-16. 16o. The only perfect copy of the above known is in the library of the late J. Carter Brown, Providence, R. I., where it was shown me by the Hon. John R. Bartlett. There is a copy, minus the title-page, in the library of the N. Y. Hist. Society. Mr. Trumbull, whọ copied the title from Mr. Bartlett's catalogue of the Brown library, speaks of the work as follows:

This book is named in the list of Cotton Mather's publications, which is appended to his Life by Samuel Mather. It contains "sentences in relation to God, Jesus Christ, and the Trinity, in the Iroquois, Latin, English and Dutch languages."

Why this, the first book in the language of the Five Nations, was printed at Boston instead of New York-or by whom the translation was made-Mather does not inform us. It may, with much probability, be conjectured that the copy was furnished by the Rev. Thorowgood Moor, who was sent out by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, in 1704, to labor for the conversion of the Mohawks. He remained nearly a year at Albany, and visited the Mohawks at their "Castle," but could not obtain their consent to his establishment of a mission among them. Before November, 1705, he returned to New York, and shortly afterwards went to Burlington, N. J., to supply the place of the Rev. John Talbot (another missionary of the Society). Here, Mr. Moor gave offence by refusing to admit the Lieutenant Governor (Ingoldsby) to the Lord's Supper, and was punished by imprisonment. Having contrived to escape, he fled to Boston, and in November, 1707, took passage for England, from Marblehead. The vessel, with all on board, was lost at sea (O'Callaghan's Note, in N. Y. Documents, iv. 1077). Mr. Talbot on his return from England had met Mr. Moor in Boston and tried to induce him to go back to New York, but "poor Thorowgood said he had rather be taken into France than into the Fort at New York."

Another Tongue brought in, etc.-continued.

While at Albany, Mr. Moor must have had opportunity to learn something of the Mohawk language, from Laurence Claesse, the provincial interpreter, who had been a prisoner among the Iroquois, “and understood their language sufficiently," and from the Rev. Bernardus Freeman, minister of the Dutch Reformed Church at Schenectady, who "had been employed by the Earl of Bellamont in the year 1700, to convert the Indians," and "had a good knowledge of the dialect of the Mohawks" (Humphrey's Hist. Account, 299, 302). When the Rev. William Andrews began his mission work among the Five Nations in 1710, Mr. Claesse served as his interpreter; and Mr. Freeman (who meanwhile had removed to Brooklyn) gave the Society copies of the translations he had made of the English liturgy and select portions of Scripture-from which a Mohawk prayer-book was printed at New York (Id., 299, 302). This "very worthy Calvinist minister" (as Humphreys characterizes him) may have previously given Mr. Moor a copy of— or assisted him to translate-this little manual. Mather would be glad to promote its publication, and not disinclined to receive whatever credit he was entitled to for the work. And as Moor, while in Boston in 1707, was a fugitive from Lord Cornbury's jurisdiction, there was reason enough-the relation of Massachusetts to New York, considered,-for omitting to mention the author's name on the title page or in connection with the work.
