According to Bishop De Schweinitz, in the Life and times of David Zeisberger, the orig. inal manuscript of this work is in the archives of the Moravian church at Bethlehem, Pa. But some time ago I had the pleasure of seeing it while temporarily in the possession of Mr. J. W. Jordan, of the Pennsylvania Historical Society, who informed me that it belonged to the Moravian archives at Fairfield, Canada. Its title and description are as follows:

Conjugations of the Delaware verbs n'Pendamen, ich verstehe, höre, pp. 17-37; npenamen, ich schaue, pp. 37-43; ndellowe, ich sage, pp. 44-50. In the "Inhalts-Anzeige" the article is entered as follows: "Verbalbiegungen der Chippewayer vom Hrn. Missionair Zeisberger, mitgetheilt von Hrn. Dr. Du Ponceau." It was extracted from Zeisberger's manuscript grammar of the Delaware language.

"This work is a collection of Delaware conjugations, and the title ought to read "Delawaren "' instead of " Chippewayer," which is a mere inadvertence."-De Schweinitz.

Therein Dr. Horsford says: "It was no part of my purpose to edit such a work. I have not ventured upon the task of altering, or restoring, or filling out, in any instance. Every period and comma and accent have been transferred without question to the printed page. Where there was a blank, and uniformity required a period or a comma, the blank has been respected. Where a comma should have been replaced by a period, or vice versa, the discovery has been left to the student as much as if he had the original manuscript before him. . . . My aim has been to preserve the Dictionary of the venerated Moravian missionary precisely as he left it."
