Algonquian. [ Algonquian-French gram- 

 mar.] 



Manuscript, 5911. 16°, Algonquian and French, 

 in the library of Maj. J. W. Powell, Washing- 

 ton, D. C. ; found several years ago among the 

 papers of John Porteus, an early Indian trader 

 in the Mohawk Valley. It consists of declen- 

 sions and conjugations in nearly equal parts, the 

 latter beginning near the middle of the book, 

 with heading : Conjugations de quelques verbes 

 Alkonkins & Nipissings. 



Algonquian. [Algonquian-Frenoh vo- 

 cabulary.] 



Manuscript, 11. 1-59 (incomplete), in theBibli- 

 oth^que Rationale, Paris, where it is entered un- 

 der no. 16 in catalogue no. 327. There is no title- 

 page and no indication of author or date. It is 

 closely and finely though not distinctly written, 

 averaging 57 lines to the page, in two columns, 

 Algonquian and French, the writing covering^ 

 a little more than half the width of the page. 

 It is arranged alphabetically by Algonquian 

 words and ends in the letter T. The character 8 

 is used throughout the manuscript for the sound 

 of ou or w. 



Algonquian. Catechisme Algonkin. (*) 

 Manuscript, 140 pp. 4°, preserved at the Mis- 

 sion of Lacdes DeuxMontagnes (Oka), Canada, 

 and used by the Sisters in teaching the children 

 of the school at that mission. It is said to be a 

 copy only., made, they assert, about fifty years 

 ago. Besides the catechism it contains many 

 psalms and hymns. 



During the autumn of 1882, while on a visit 

 to the mission of Lac des Deux Montagues, I 

 had the pleasure, through the courtesy of P6r© 

 Leclaire, then missionary at that place, of in- 

 specting a number of linguistic manuscripts, 

 composed for the most part by former mission- 

 aries at the Lake, titles of which will bo found 

 in their proper places in this bibliography. In 

 addition to these, I have been furnished by the 

 late Mrs. Erminnie A. Smith, an employee of the 

 Bureau of- Ethnology, who spent some time at 

 that mission engaged in the preparation of a 

 grammar and dictionary of the various Iroquoian 

 languages, with a list of others, of the existence 

 of which I was not aware at the time of my 

 visit ; of those which are anonymous, the title 

 of one is given a bove and others below. The 

 descriptions are by Mrs. Smith, aided by P6re 

 Leclaire. 



On a more recent visit (June, 1889), I was. 

 shown by the Abb6 Cuoq what purported to be 

 all the Algonquian manuscripts belonging to 

 the library of the mission ; some of these were 

 additional to those seen on my first sojourn at 

 the lake, but I was unable to identify any of 

 those here entered anonymously. 



Algonquian. Catechisme Algonquin. (*) 

 Manuscript, 12°, written by a Jesuit mission- 

 ary ; in the archives of the Catholic church at 

 the mission of Lacdes Deux Montagues (Oka), 

 Canada. 



Algonquian. Dictionnaire Algonquin- 

 Fran^ais de I'an 1661. (*) 



Manuscript, sm. 4°, preserved in the ar- 

 chives of the Catholic church at the mission of 

 Lac des Deux Montagues (Oka), Canada. 



This work has passed through the hands of 

 M. Mathevet, a former missionary at this 

 place, as one clearly sees by an inspection of 

 the cover, which is entirely covered with short 

 notes in Algouquian, written by this mission- 

 ary ; besides these he has made many additions 

 throughout the dictionary.
