The first printing in Canada was done by 

 William Brown, who established a press in 

 1763-'64, in (Juebec. Ho associated with him 

 Thomas Gilmore, who died in 1773, and Brown 

 contiiuied the business alone, and at the date 

 of the above jjublication, 1780, was the only 

 printer in Quebec. The account books of the 

 firm are in the possession of Surgeon-Major 

 Neilson, Quebec, who furnishes me the follow- 

 ing extract bearing upon the above work : 



"1780. Sept. 5. For printing 1,000 copies of a 

 Mohawk Prayer Book, making 14 sheets 8vo, 

 for Government, 95i. 10,%'.'' 



"Very few of this [1769] edition remained 

 among the Mohawks when they retired to 

 Canada iu 1777. Apprehensive th;it the I>ook 

 might 1)0 wholly lost in a little time, and de- 

 sirous of a new supply, these Indians peti- 

 tioned General Ilaldiuiand, then the Governor 

 of that Province, for a new edition. This re- 

 quest was granted, and one thousand copies 

 were ordered to bo jjriuted under the supervi- 

 sion of Colonel Claus, who, the Preface states, 

 read and understood the Mohawk Language so 

 as to undertake the Correction of the Book for 

 the Press. But as that gentleman's employ 

 would not permit him to remain .at (Juebec 

 during the whole printing of the Book, almost 

 one-half o£ it was corrected at Montreal and 

 sent weekly by half-sheets to (Juebec, until he 

 returned to the latter city and finished the 

 remainder of the Book. The ditficulties ex- 

 perienced by the (J.iebec printer in the compo- 

 sition W(■r^^ (jiiite as great a.s those encountered 

 by Weym:ui and Gaiuo with the edition of 

 1709. Ho was an entire stranger to the Lan- 

 guage and obliged to go on with the printing 

 of it letter by letter, which made it a very 

 tedious pieco of work; accents were now in-
