Original Gibbs CJ dictionary for sale

[hzenk at PDX.EDU]

Now is this Gibbs's CJ dictionary, and not his "Alphabetical vocabulary of the
Chinook language" (=his Chinookan word-list)?  Reason I ask is that as I
remember it, the former was put out by the Smithsonian, the latter by Cramoisy
Press.  Both in 1863 if memory serves.  In any case I have xeroxes, which
serve the purpose (I'm not a collector).  Henry
