Excerpt from Grammar of the Language of the Lenni Lenape or Delaware Indians The next performance that appeared on a comprehensive scale on the subject of languages was, the mithridates, the glory of our science. I have spoken of it at large in my Report to the Historical Committee, made in the year 1819, on the progress then made in the investigation com mitted to me respecting the character and grammatical forms of the languages of the American Indians-ii. Excellent as the Mithridates was at the time when it was published, such is the progress which the philological science has made since that period. That it would require to be almost entirely Written anew. But va'i'er is no more, and who will ven ture to assume his vacant place'l'?
