Historia
Rogerius Williams, dissentor Christianus conditorque Rhodensis Insulae, credidit regem iure terrarum Indorum Americanorum concessarum sine concessu eorum carere. Ipse usum cum hominibus Narragansett et Wampanoag ut missionarius, amicus, negotiator late habuit, qui multos culturae Indicae aspectus laudabat, eos culturá Europaeá meliores dicens, ac nonnulla poemata eos honorantia intra librum posuit. Librum, primam linguae Indorum Americanorum investigationem maiorem, in animo habuit colonos Anglicos cum indigenis communicare adiuvare posse. Traditur praeterea Williams librum protulisse ad redarguendas falsas coloniae Massachusettae postulationes de primis indigenarum conversionibus ad Christianitatem (praecipue conversione Wequash Cooke, indigenae Pequot in Connecticuta orti) et ergo ad prohibendas moratas Massachusettae postulationes ad territorium Rhodensis Insulae spectantís.J. Patrick Cesarini (2003), "The Ambivalent Uses of Roger Williams's A Key into the Language of America," Early American Literature 38(3):469–494. Gregorius Dexter, amicus Williams, manuscriptum Londinii Angliae protulit, editioque libri animos attentos auctori magnopere attraxit.Francis O'Brien et Julianne Jennings, Introduction to the Narragansett Language: A Study of Roger Williams' A Key Into the Language of America (Aquidneck Indian Council, 2001).
