• "The present volume ... was written evidently in the latter part of the seventeenth century, and most probably on the banks of the Mohawk ... The grammatical sketch is rather a series of notes. The main work ... comprises the primitive words of the language ... with derivatives from each word ... Except in strict alphabetical arrangement, it is a very full Mohawk dictionary, written in Latin, but with the meaning of the words in French."--Pref.
