Caption title.

"The foregoing is printed in the Moheakunnuk, or Stockbridge Indian language."--p. 34.

"The first twenty-five pages contain an exact reprint of the edition of 1795 [translated by John Quinney]; the remainder was probably translated by Capt. Hendrick, at the suggestion of Rev. John Sergeant, who died in 1824. The exact date of its publication has not been ascertained; but ... it would seem to belong to the period of the removal of the tribe from New Stockbridge, N.Y., to Indiana in 1818, and to Wisconsin in 1822. Mr. Sergeant wished to have his Indians well supplied with books before their departure."--Pilling, J.C. Bibliography of the Algonquian languages, 1891, p. 416.

"Dr. Watts' Shorter catechism for children," selections from the Gospels, and "Select Psalms."--p. 22-34.
