Roger William's A key into the language of America: or, An help to the language of the natives in that part of America, called New-England is the first study of an indigenous language in America, according to J.C. Pilling. It consists of 32 chapters regarding various aspects of Naragansett life and includes a discussion of social life and customs regarding that activity and a glossary of words and phrases. Each chapter closes with the verses of a song in English, without music.
Three states of three pages of this edition exist: in the first, p. 92 following p. 95 has catchword "8epûo" not "Sepûo" and has "Rivelet" instead of "Rivulet"; in the second, p. 21 has catchword "Cha" instead of "Chap"; the third has the correct printing of "Is the water coole?" instead of "is the water coo" in the 7th line from bottom, right hand column of p. 12.
