A 1643 London vocabulary and ethnographic guide by Roger Williams, printed by Gregory Dexter, offering English colonists in New England a key to the Narragansett language and their customs.

A designer might take from it a compact emblem model, with a centred motto ribbon above a heraldic animal on a yellow ground.
