"Jean Claude Mathevet, a Sulpician mission- 

 ary, whoso ludian name was Wakwi, was born 

 in the diocese of Viviers, in Frauce, iu 1717. He 

 came to Canada iu 1740, and was missionary at 

 Lac des Deux Montagues from 1740 to 1781, 

 where he learned the Algonkin and Iroquois 

 languages. He has left in the former several 

 manuscript sermons, a catechism (which has 

 been printed, with corrections, several times 

 since 1830), and a history of the old and new 

 testament, which I had printed iu 1859-61, and 

 of which, as the edition is entirely exhausted, 

 I am at present i)reparing a now one. In the 

 Iroquois he has composed sermons, prayers, 

 and a grammatical essay. He died iu 1781, aged 

 04 years." — Ouoq. 



I have seen Mathevet referred to by the In- 

 dian name of " Taiorhensore; " ])orhaps that is 

 his lro(iuois .and "Wakwi" his .Vlgonkin 

 name.
