Abstract
THIS remarkable volume contains no fewer than 83 lithographed plates, and 209 separate woodcuts, and is an admirable compendium of the curious pictographs of the North American Indians. Large as it is, it professes to be only the forerunner of a still larger work that shall treat of pictographs generally. The author, Colonel Garrick Mallery, has already published an almost equally interesting memoir on “Gesture Language,” in the first Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology.
