A Grammar Of The Massachusetts Indian Language 1822

""A Grammar of the Massachusetts Indian Language"" is a book written by John Eliot in 1822. The book is a comprehensive guide to the grammar of the Massachusetts Indian language, which was spoken by the Native American tribes living in the region of Massachusetts during the 17th century. Eliot was a Puritan missionary who believed that the Native Americans could be converted to Christianity if they were taught in their own language. He therefore set out to learn the language and create a grammar and dictionary to aid in his missionary work. The book includes a detailed description of the phonology, morphology, and syntax of the language, as well as examples of its usage in conversation and literature. It is considered to be a valuable resource for linguists and historians interested in the study of Native American languages and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
