Other important works, in various native languages, are in the course of
preparation, under competent editorship.
Of these may be mentioned--
THE NATIONAL LEGEND OF THE CREEKS. Edited by A.S. GATSCHET.
The original account, written in 1735; an English translation, and a
re-translation into the Creek language, in which it was originally
delivered, by an educated native, and into the Hitchiti, a dialect
cognate to the Creek.
THE ANNALS OF THE KAKCHIQUELS. By ERNANTEZ XAHILA.
These chronicles are the celebrated _Memorial de Tecpan Atitlan_ so
often quoted by the late Abbe Brasseur de Bourbourg. They are invaluable
for the ancient history and mythology of Gautemalan nations, and are of
undoubted authenticity and antiquity.
THE ANNALS OF QUAUHTITLAN. Edited by A.F. BANDELIER.
The original Aztec text, with a new translation. This is also known as
the _Codex Chimalpopoca_. It is one of the most curious and
valuable documents in Mexican archaeology.
ABORIGINAL AMERICAN ANTHOLOGY. Edited by DANIEL G. BRINTON, M.D.
A collection of the songs, chants and metrical compositions of the
Indians, designed to display the emotional and imaginative powers of the
race and the prosody of their languages.
