Composed by Pedro de Arenas. Printed with license and approbation in Mexico, 1611.] The date of the Petition is found at the end of the Privilege. The note to the title of this edition in Sabin's Dictionary, says, "A volume of great rarity. A complete copy is scarcely known." Ternaux, “A small and very rare volume." Botturini, in his Catalogo del Museo Indio, places the Vocabulario under the date of 1583; but as it is not uncommon to antedate works printed without the year being named, I am inclined to believe the edition of 1611 to be the first. An instance of this is seen in White Kennett, who places the English edition of Peter Martyr without date under 1597; while the first with a date is 1612. The Manual of Arenas was reprinted in 1690, 1700, 1728, 1793, 1831, and with the addition of French phrases in 1862. ARICKAREE INDIANS..

The San Juan Bautista Mission was established among the Mutsun Indians, in 1799. The work was printed from the original MSS. forwarded to the Smithsonian Institute by the President of Santa Inez College. Their language closely resembles that of the Indians Diegeno, a savage people living near the Mission Soledad on the River Salinas, and also that of the Indians of the Mission of San Carlos near Monterey. Father Felipe Arroyo de la Cuesta came to California in 1810, and died at Santa Inez Mission in 1842. ASHER (G. M.) Henry Hudson the Navigator.

ATWATER (Caleb). 52 The writings of Caleb Atwater. Columbus, 1833. [2d Title.] A Description of the Antiquities discovered in the Western Country; originally communicated to the American Antiquarian Society, by Caleb Atwater. 8° pp. 408. 53 The third title, at p. 167, is, " Remarks made on a Tour to Prairie Du Chien; thence to Washington City in 1829." The first work, "A Description of Antiquities" has never been printed in a separate form, its first publication having been in the first volume of Archeologia Americana. In this the prints and maps were much better executed, some even having been omitted in the Cincinnati edition. The Tour is a reprint of the greater portion of that published in 120, pp. 296, at Columbus in 1831. In this however the rudiments of the Sioux Grammar are omitted. The antiquarian portion is a well written description, apparently conscientiously accurate, of the mounds, fortifications, mortuary remains, implements, and weapons of the ancient Aborigines of Ohio. The zeal and industry of the author, stimulated by a thirst for the acquisition of knowledge regarding the mysterious people of whom these were the relics, have produced a work not much less valuable, because the author had little scientific training, to teach him what to search for. Ethnology indeed, at the period of Mr. Atwater's researches, had not crystallized its facts into a science. The work is accompanied by eleven plans, mostly folding, besides several cuts printed in the text, illustrative of subjects mentioned. ATWATER (Caleb). Remarks made on a Tour to Prairie Du'Chien; thence to Washington City in 1829, by Caleb Atwater, late Commissioner employed by the United States to negotiate with the Indians of the Upper Mississippi, for the purchase of mineral country, and author of Western Antiquities. 12° pp. 296. Columbus, O., published by Isaac N. Whiting, 1831. 54 Some very curious particulars relating to Customs of the Winnebagoes are related by Atwater. Although nothing indicating the mission of Atwater appears on the title, yet the real object of his tour was to procure as Commissioner of the government, a cession of the title of the Winnebago, Pottawatomie, Chippewa, and Ottawa Indians, in the rich mineral lands, now forming the State of Wisconsin and part of Illinois. Much the greater part of the work is devoted therefore to a narration of the peculiarities of those tribes which he visited, biography of some of their chiefs, Indian poetry, specimens of their language, and incidents of his associations with them. On pages 149 to 172 the author has given "Rudiments of the Grammar of the Sioux Language," all of which is omitted in the edition of 1833. On |
