[Footnote 65: Olmos, _Grammaire de la Langue Nahuatl_, pp. 231 sqq. (Paris 1875.)] [Footnote 66: _Narratives of the Rites and Laws of the Incas._ Translated by C. R. Markham. Printed for the Hackluyt Society (London, 1873).] [Footnote 67: _Chrestomathie de la Langue Maya_, in _Etude sur le Systeme Graphique et la Langue des Mayas._ (Paris, 1870.)] [Footnote 68: Bernal Diaz gives an interesting account of this "black sermon," as he calls it. The incident is significant, as it shows that the natives were accustomed to gather around their places of worship, to listen to addresses by the priests. See the _Historia Verdadera de la Conquista de la Nueva Espana_, Cap. XXVII. (Madrid, 1632.)] [Footnote 69: Some judicious remarks on the origin and development of aboriginal poetry are offered by Theodore Baker, in his excellent monograph on the music of the North American Indians, but his field of view was somewhat too restricted to do the subject full justice, as, indeed, he acknowledges. _Ueber die Musik der Nord-Americanischen Wilden_, von Theodor Baker, pp. 6-14. (Leipzig, 1882.)] [Footnote 70: Schoolcraft, _History, Condition and Prospects of the Indian Tribes of the United States_, vol. V, p. 559.] [Footnote 71: _Grammaire et Vocabulaire de la Langue Taensa, avec Textes traduits et commentes_. Par J.D. Haumonte, Parisot, et L. Adam. Paris, 1882.] |
