In the pamphlet of this Society, on Seneca affairs, issued at
Baltimore, in 1845, the number of pupils under their charge, on the
Cattaraugus reservation, is stated at 107, and it is added, that an
incipient boarding school for girls had been attempted.
It is not known whether, in the four schools reported by Mr. Bliss, at
this reservation, the teachers and labors of the Society of Friends are
included.
Mr. Rockwood, of Tuscarora, states that there is but _one_ school on
that reservation.
In the column of octogenarians, a typographical error gives the
Tonewandas twenty-five instead of _ten persons_ who had reached that
age.
In filling up the column headed “persons who adhere to the native
religion,” the rule was to deduct from the total population, all who
were reported as members of any Christian denomination.
Errata in the text, typographical and critical, which it was impossible
to avoid, in the haste of a legislative publication, made in due
course, there has been no opportunity to notice here, and it is hoped
the proper consideration will be made.
[Transcriber's Note:
Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation are as in the original.
Menu entries for Appendix, Morgan—page 283 and Van Schaack—page 284
changed to Van Schaack—page 283, Morgan—page 284 to match location in
text.]
