These are seized and retained by the sight, the most faithful and accurate of our senses. They are imitated until imitation l)ecomes habitual ; and habits when once formed are changed or eradicated with difficulty. Nothing is more cer- tain than that many customs prevail among nations and com- munities for wliich they are wholly unable to account, their })revalence being due solely to traditional observance which does not concern itself with matters of chronology. Tliis, then, is tlie differenc...e l)etween oral and ocular tradition. The fact or doc- trine may l)e ol)scured or lost in the current of time, while the cereaiony or outward observance of it is transmitted nearly or cpiite unimpaired. The first mention of the Five Nations or Iroipiois pn)])er is probal)ly that made l)y Jacques Cartier in 1535, when he men- tions in some manuscripts the " Trudamani " or " Toudamani. " and '■ Trudamans, " who were evidently no other people than the well-known " Tsonnontowanens " of later writers, 'i'he latter was one of the names given the Iroquois l)y Huronian tribes in later times.
