Published here for the first time in 1833 from Father Sebastian Resles's 1691 manuscript and very uncommon as such. There are no other copies in the market (that we could identify) and records show that no copies of this original printing have reached auction in over 100 years, since 1924. Abenaki is an endangered Eastern Algonquian language of Quebec and the northern states of New England, spoken by the Abenaki, "an Indigenous people from the Northeastern Woodlands of the US and Canada". Rebound in a late 20th century maroon cloth, with dark-leather title label along the spine. New, tasteful endsheets and pastedowns as well. The original text, all 574 pgs. of it, does show just a bit of light, scattered foxing but remains bright and clear and eminently legible. A solid, VG+ copy. And the Introductory Memoir and Notes by the great British editor and publisher John Pickering do appear, as called for, in this copy (oddly though, at the rear rather than the front of the dictionary).

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
