http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207175795

This collection consists of a dictionary of the language of the Massachuset Indians, completed about 1886. Trumbull used the biblical translation and other writings of John Eliot (1604-1690) to arrive at definitions. Volume 1 contains an English-Massachuset (Indian language) vocabulary, while volumes 2 and 3 are the dictionary from Indian into English. Volume 4 is an incomplete compilation of volumes 2 and 3, with additions and corrections. In 1903, the Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of American Ethnology, edited and published Trumbull's dictionary.
