A peddler peddled pelicans, pellets and peltry.

一个小贩叫卖鹈鹕、小球和皮货。

This was probably the case among the hunting nations of North America, before their country was discovered by the Europeans, with whom they now exchange their surplus peltry, for blankets, fire-arms, and brandy, which gives it some value.

这可能是北美狩猎民族的情况，在他们的国家被欧洲人发现之前，他们现在与欧洲人交换多余的毛皮，以换取毯子、火器和白兰地，这赋予了它一些价值。
