Washington: Government Printing Office, 1922. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 40, Parts 1 and 2. Built upon the foundations laid by John Wesley Powell (1834-1902) in his Introduction to the Study of Indian Languages (1877), this important work was edited by the eminent anthropologist and linguist Franz Boas (1858-1942). The first volume contains chapters on the Athapascan (Hupa), Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Kwak'wala, Chinook, Maidu, Algonquian, Siouan, and Inuit languages, while the secon focuses on the Takelma, Coos, Siuslaw, and Chukchi languages. Each chapter contains a discussion of the speakers of the language, its geographical distribution, the phonetic system, and an analysis of the grammar and vocabulary. Includes illustrative sketches by Roland B. Dixon, P.E. Goddard, William Jones and Truman Michelson, John R. Swanton, William Thalbitzer, Edward Sapir, Leo J. Frachtenberg, and Waldemar Bogoras. Octavo, two volumes. Original green cloth bindings, with gilt titles. Small ink stamp to the front flyleaf in each volume. The boards are a trifle edgeworn, with two minor bumps to the rear board of the first volume and a few faint smudges; otherwise very good.
