"The Handbook of American Indian Languages, the first Part
of which is here presented, had its inception in an attempt to pre-
pare a revised edition of the "Introduction to the Study of Indian
Languages," by Major J. W. Powell.
"During the first twenty years of the existence of the Bureau of
American Ethnology much linguistic material had been accumulated
by filling in the schedules contained in Major Powell's Introduction,
and in this manner many vocabularies had been collected, while the
essential features of the morphology of American languages remained
unknown.
"It seemed particularly desirable to call attention to a new edition
of the Introduction, to the essential features of the morphology and
phonetics of American languages, and to emphasize the necessity of
an analytical study of grammar. The object next to be attained by
linguistic studies of American languages is a knowledge of their pho-
netic processes and of the psychological foundation of their structure.
The former of these objects has hardly been attempted ; knowledge of
the latter has been obscured by the innumerable attempts to represent
the grammars of Indian languages in a form analogous to that of the
European grammars."
