"Rev. Fran9ois Xavier Marcoux was born in 

 1S06 at Lbs Cedres, Soulanges County, Prov- 

 ince of Quebec ; was ordained priest probably 

 in 1828, aud was soon thereafter sent to St. Re- 

 gis, first as an assistant to Rev. Fr. Valle, 

 and in 1832 he was given charge of the 

 mission. He remained the pastor of the mis- 

 sion until his death, which occurred August 

 17,1883. He was buiied at Les Cadres. Ho 

 was a man i-eraarkable for his fine ph3'siquo 

 and commandingappearance, and his blue eyes, 

 yellow hair, and rosy complexion won for him 

 the lud\a,nna.me of Tehoronhiatte (clear sky)." —

My own copy of this little work and one in 

 the library of the archbishopric of Quebec 

 arc the only copies, so far as I know, in this 

 couulry. In Charles Nodier's Description rai- 

 sonnt^e d'uue jolie collection de livres (No. 16), 

 Paris, 1844, is found the following: 



" This volume, entirely printed in Iroquois, is 

 preceded by fifteen and followed by three 

 leaves of an excellent wricing, which contain a 

 very interesting and valuable notice, in French, 

 of the language, of which the editor regards it 

 as the first ty])ographic monument. The dedi- 

 cation [in manuscript, I take it] of this cu- 

 rious work is addressed to M. lo vicomto de 

 Chateaubriand, dated Sault Saint-Louis, Lower 

 Canada, and sigued : Jos. Marcoux, plre miss. 

 My illustrious and beloved colleague, M. de 

 Chateaubriand, has kindly recorded in five au- 

 tographic lines, on a separate leaf, the valued 

 testimonial of kindness with which he has 

 honored me in making me a gift of this very 

 rare book, perhaps unique in Europe." 



Concerning this work the Abbe Cuoq, of 

 Montreal, writes me as follows: 



" At that time [1816], it is true, Mr. Joseph 

 Marcoux was missienary at St. Regis; iu 1819 

 ho exchanged with Mr. Dufresne, who had been 

 at Sault Saint-Louis since 1812. During that 

 time Mr. Roupo was at the Lake of the Two 

 Mountains (1813-1829). The three missionaries 

 concerted for the composition and publica- 

 tion of this little volume, of whicli there 

 has remained for a long time only a single 

 copy at the Lake [now in the possession of 

 the compiler of this catalogue], and abso.
