by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft

A Vocabulary of the Odjibwa Algonquin Language. By H. R. Schoolcraft.

On referring to the manuscript of this vocabulary, it is found to fill a large folio volume, which puts it out of my power to insert it in this connection. It is hoped to bring it into the series of the Ethnological volumes, now in the process of being published at Philadelphia, under the auspices of Congress.
