Ma. J. HAmIsTEAD:—- I thank you for sending me the

“ Life of Kah-ge-ga-gab-bowh,” (or George Copway~,) an Indian of the Ojebwa Nation, which you have just pub- lished. I took it up merely to look into it this morning, and ceased not until I had read it through. It gives a lively and true picture of the introduction, progress and prospects of experimental religion among the Indians in the neighborhood of the Lakes. It is written with terse- ness and force. And, although I know not that you de- sire a line from me,I take pleasure in commending the volume to the attention ofa Christian public.

Mn. Hiimtsrsao :—

Dean SIR :—Ha\'ing heard that you are about to issue a second edition of Mn. CoPWAY’s history of his early habits, and conversion to God by means of Missionary labors, together with sketches of his own Mis- sionary toils, embarrassments and sufferings, in striving to enlighten and redeem his people from their superstitions and vices, I would say, for your encouragement, that, having read it carefully, I esteem it a most interesting and instructing book. And coming, as it does, from one so recently rescued from the ignorance of savage life, it, in my opinion, is really worthy not only of an extensive cir- culation, but of all commendation.

Yours respectfully, A. AT WOOD.
