3.0 out of 5 stars
some good some bad,
By "linguist-guy" (boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A key into the language of America, 1643 (English linguistics, 1500-1800: a collection of facsimile reprints) (Hardcover)
Perhaps I would give this book a 5, but since the subject is a language, I must say that the transcription is bad and unconsistent, even considering William's not so modern English pronunciation. So, as a manual, it's pretty useless (in spite of what it say in the introduction); for comparative purposes - it doesn't need my recomendation; it is also an interesting early description of Native life and customs, as well as an interesting example of a 17th century language manual though rather hastily written.
