Some questions of no trifling importance and in terest are raised by the appearance of such an nu looked-for mine of literary lore, particularly as to the originality of these Fables. Whether they are indeed the real Offspring of the desert, and can be considered as truly indigenous Native literature, or whether they have been either purloined from the superior white race, or at least brought into existence by the stim ulus which contact with the latter gave to the Native mind (like that resulting in the invention of the Tshiroki and Vei alphabets) may be matters of dis pute for some time to come, and it may require as much research as was expended upon the solv ing of the riddle of the originality of the Ossianic poems.
