To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was applied by the Indians, in relatively recent times, to the North River at Salem. (History of Old Naumkeag. ) The Naum or tongue may be merely the deeper bed of the river separating the shallower waters on either side. Both Naumkeag and Nahumbeak occur on sheets of water inland as well as along the seashore. 1 1 It is not worth while to point out in this summary the wide range of dia lectic variations of these words which I have found. A few may be alluded to. There is Naam-keake on the P...ond Annannieumsic, in Chelmsford, near AND THE SITE OF NORUMBEGA. 17 Norumbega may, like Naumbeak, apply to any bay from the bottom of which rises a narrow tongue. It is obvious, therefore, that the determination of the meaning of Norumbega and its identity with that of Nahumbeak has made it, at the best, probable that the Nahumbeak of Salem harbor is the Norombega of Cabot. It has made it more, probable that the Norumbega of Cabot is to be found in the belt of latitude in which meet the terminal syllable bcc, which prevails north of the Merri- mac, and the terminal syllable, its dialectic equivalent, baug, which prevails south of the Charles.
