The above is the first signature, and the only one that was printed, of a work 
intended to form one of the series of Shea's American Linguistics. When this 
portion had been put in type, about 1805, the manuscript was sent by Dr. Shea to 
the owner and was never returned. The following description is taken from 
Dr. Shea's prospectus: "A manuscript dictionary exists of the Illinois lau^uan-e 
which, in extent and in careful preparation, exceeds any work known on any of 
the Algonquin dialects. It is to all appearance the work of the Jesuit Father 
Le Boulanger, whose labors on the Illinois language are highly extolled in the 
Lettres fidifiantes. The Illinois have now disappeared, but for purposes of 
research and study their language is one of the most interesting of the \-arious 
dialects o£ the widespread Algonquin * * • Their language, as shown in this 
dictionary, throws much light on Western names of tribes, rivers, lakes, ttc, and 
by comparison with that of the kindred Lenni or Dela wares, as preserved by the 
Moravians, furnished the amplest known material for the study of the Alfonquin 
language. * * * 
"The dictionary will form over five hundred p.agcs, in fine type, doable 
column, similar to th.at used in the French-Onoudago Dictionary issued by me." 
See Gravier {Kev. James), No. 1600. 
Rev. J. I. Le Boulanger, S. J., was born in France, July 22, 1064; entered the 
order in 1700, came to America, and was on the Illinois Mission as early as 1719, 
and probably some years previous to that date, and is said to have died there in 
1744.
