Excerpt from Kulóskap the Master, and Other Algonkin PoemsIt so beiell that I, per fortune, became correspondent with Protessor J. Dyneley Prince. Who had come some time after but got far before me in a knowledge oi Al gonkin, as was shown in various papers containing the original text and translations oi Algonkin legends in diflerent dialects. Whereupon. The thought occurred to rue that this fully qualified scholar might revise, correct, and compare my metrical version with the original tcxt which task would be much iacilitated by the fact that he also was well acquainted with Louis Mitchell, and I may here mention that. While I had at one time obtained an accurate copy of the celebrated Algonkin Wampum Record which was recited annually in by goue days at the ('ouncil oi the Tribes. And had it read to me and written out in Indian English. Prof. Dyneley Prince has himself translated it and reproduces a por tion oi it in the present work. So it came to pass that this book was written. And l may here mention that my colleague while his specialty is the Semitic tongues. Aho has (like my late friend E. Ll. Palmer. Who professed Arabic at Cambridge) the gift of the Romany and even Shelta. Which are as the Latin and Greek oi the roads!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
