About this Item

Illustrated bibliography of these important early U.S. imprints. Exlibrary binding with minor rubbing to boards, else a fine copy. Includes photographic vignettes and plates throughout. James Constantine Pilling (1846-1895) was a Congressional stenographer-transcriptionist and a pioneering ethnologist mostly known for compiling a series of extensive bibliographies of the cultures, mythologies, and languages of the North and Central American aboriginal peoples. The Algonquian languages are a subfamily of the Indigenous languages of the Americas and most languages in the Algic language family are included in the group. Speakers of the Algonquian languages stretch from the east coast of North America to the Rocky Mountains. This specific book once resided in the prestigious library of language scholar Johannes Rahder (1898-1988). Rahder was a Dutch Orientalist and professor of Japanese at the University of Leiden from 1931 through 1946, and at Yale University from 1947 through 1965. He was depicted in the work of the legendary Langston Hughes' (1901-1967) 'I Wonder, I Wander'. After a brief meeting between the two figures on the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1933, Hughes recognized Rahder as being a ".famous authority on obscure Oriental languages". Seller Inventory # 29211
