This translated Dutch account book of the fur trade with Indians yields essential data for understanding the workings of the intercultural fur trade in colonial North America. It contains accounts of hundreds of Indians, many listed with their own names, who purchased merchandise on credit from Evert Wendell (1681–1750) and his relatives in Albany, New York. The introduction describes the context in which the manuscript was created and analyzes aggregated data on a range of characteristics of these commercial exchanges.

Chindali is a Bantu language of eastern Africa, spoken in the southwest Mbeya region of Tanzania and in the northern Chitipa District of Malawi. The dictionary is the result of research on the Malawian end of the Chindali spectrum. It provides, in most cases, more than a cursory translation equivalent of the Chindali lexical item. This three-volume series offers the Chindali dictionary, a grammatical sketch of the language, and narratives of the life and culture of the Ndali people.
